Amazon loves to manufacture an event. March is historically a dry spell for deals; however, with Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale, which runs through March 31st, the retail behemoth is hoping to lure in would-be shoppers with the promise of steep(ish) savings and discounts on more seasonal, spring-centric items to hold folks over until […]

I've been reflecting on how LLMs are changing our learning habits as engineers, and realized something worrying.
AI can now quickly help search and research information, distilling the core of a paper into a concise summary. It lets you pick up a term fast and have something to talk about.
But real learning requires deep reading, thinking, and practice. A polished summary is far from enough. Since having AI, how long has it been since you truly studied a paper or deeply read through and implemented a technology? Has your ability to think and your taste improved or declined? Once that ability is weakened, are you ready to let AI replace you entirely? Taste is never built by reading abstracts — it is forged through countless bad decisions and excellent practice.
To be honest, most people never seriously finished reading many papers before AI either. AI hasn't taken anything away — it has just made shallow learning more efficient and more deceptive. The real risk isn't that AI makes people lazy, but that AI makes "lazy" look like "productive." Spend ten minutes reading a summary, post it on social media, feel like you're keeping up with the frontier — but nothing actually sticks.
I am absolutely not against AI. What I advocate is using AI for deep work, not treating it as your TikTok of pretend learning. From "summarize it for me" to "debate it with me," from "do it for me" to "help me reason through it" — that is what matters.
