Using AI every day but not getting better yourself?
You have to go beyond generation and delegation.
A lot of people use AI to delegate a part of what they can do.
That’s the best way to start.
It’s huge step further than treating it as a fancy google search, and it’s immensely more effective than asking it to come up with a plan to “make you 1 million dollars with no mistakes”.
But you’re still missing out on an important aspect: learning.
AI has two power features that make it uniquely effective as a teacher:
It is highly personalized. You can ask it to elaborate, explain differently, even draw parallels with your current expertise so it makes sense to you.
And you can ask for sources, which you should, especially when learning something you don't yet know well enough to validate yourself.
Together, these two capabilities make knowledge and skill acquisition more accessible than ever.
While coaching, mentoring, and courses still provide unique value for developing judgment, thinking, and decision-making, AI has dramatically lowered the barriers to learning execution-focused skills.
Whether it's coding, speaking a new language, understanding finance, or learning about real estate, the knowledge needed to get started is now available to anyone, at little or no cost.
If the answer is overwhelming, keep asking. And use the technique Marc Andreessen mentioned in his recent Joe Rogan podcast appearance:
Explain X to me as if I’m 15.
Then can go down in age to make the agent simplify the concept, until it finally clicks.
