In this episode, Dr Sabina Brennan explores how generative AI changes learning. She looks at why effortful thinking is the engine of mastery, how AI can create an illusion of competence and practical ways to use AI as a tutor rather than a crutch.
Key takeaway: Learning sticks when it’s hard – AI works best when it helps you reach insights, not when it replaces the work.
