Edit: This turned into a rant.

"Teach the process"

Learn to learn

etc

The approach the author takes is boring and therefore will not succeed. Maybe future will prove me wrong on this - I'd be fine with it.

My take is an axiom that is omnipresent among tech bubble: Focus on what matters. Let's ask ourself every time we put more than one thought into something: "What is this really about?" "Why do I actually have to do this?" etc. Even without AI our academic systems are being gamified every day. AI just accelerates (and partly even democratize) this movement. People follow a fassade and sadly the system followed. We need to start asking general questions more again. With AI and art this is even more visible. It is often overlooked that AI can not create something new. And you do not have the right to make a living by rearranging and combinging already existing ideas. But exactly this is the metric we should focus on: the new. If you don't want to create something new, then fine, just copy and paste along. But making something new is hard and you'll need to learn the basics yourself (tech the process, learn to learn, etc). But to make this approach imposed is even another misguided junction. It has to come from the one thing that is important: the new, the actual drive, the 'doing it because I want it'
