🎓💼 Generative AI in Education & Work: Productivity Tool or Crutch?


From drafting emails to writing essays, creating code to generating lesson plans—generative AI is transforming how we learn and work. But here’s the big question:


Are we empowering people—or outsourcing too much thinking?


🚀 The upside:


 Boosts productivity and creativity

 Saves time on repetitive tasks

 Supports personalized learning and accessibility


⚠️ The risks:


 Over-reliance could weaken critical thinking

 Raises questions about authorship and originality

 May create a false sense of expertise


As AI becomes more embedded in our workflows and classrooms, we need to ask:


Are we teaching people how to use the tool—or letting the tool do the thinking for them?


💬 What’s your take—does generative AI elevate performance or risk eroding core skills?
