🎓💼 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?
