About this article
A developer and father reflects on AI, independent thinking, books, and the example we set for our children.
I'm raising a daughter, and I keep coming back to a question: what do I want her to learn to do for herself when a machine can produce an answer for her?
I use AI. I understand the appeal of asking for an explanation, a draft, or help getting past a problem. As a developer, I can see plenty of reasons to welcome tools that make difficult work more approachable.
