You cannot speed run human learning. Investing time to read and absorb the material, repeatedly exercising and expanding your understanding, is the only path.

Not coincidentally, this is exactly how we train our AI.

Edit: but to answer your question, an AI harness can only emulate the best teaching methods. Learning is up to the human.

You don't understand math with a calculator; you use paper to understand math.

The same way you wouldn't let a junior electrician near a drill, he gets screwdrivers till he learns to be gentle.

AI should only be for people with existing knowledge of a trade.

My grandfather used to say 'any power tool can be a sander, if you use it wrong'.

you revoke their claude/chatgpt/copilot license

You can't, as that removes the main value add of the AI.

I really disagree with that stance. It would be trivial to have it ask you questions about what it produced to ensure you understand. I’ve literally already done that several times.

"Understanding" someone else's solution is not comparable to solving it on your own, even if you can answer some questions about it. It builds extremely fragile surface-level understanding.

That struggle and repeated failure before finally connecting the dots on your own is how you build intuition and deep understanding.

Yes, all learning takes practice, it's the core of how our brain learns things. Any tool that eliminates the practice part means suboptimal, or zero, learning. Practice isn't just for physical tasks like riding a bike. All skills take practice, meaning repeated cycles of failures over a long time horizon.

We're way too far down this current UIUX disaster to pretend "sane defaults" is a nice-to-have.

From what I can tell, the value add for AI seems to be this behavior you're describing

But the value add being marketed is something entirely different, which is where the disconnect is coming in
