RE: Are we getting lazy with AI?

Absolutely loved this post — it's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately.

From my own experience, I’d say AI can definitely make us lazy in some areas, especially when we stop thinking critically or rely on it for every little thing. For example, I used to write blog posts from scratch, brainstorm everything, edit line by line. Now with AI tools, it's easy to just prompt something and click “go.” It saves time, but sometimes I catch myself becoming too passive in the creative process.

But on the flip side — it has also made me more disciplined. I started using AI to generate visual content and ended up opening a POD (Print-on-Demand) store where I sell designs created partly with free AI tools. That required commitment, learning how to market, testing designs, and being consistent. In a weird way, AI helped me build structure where before I just procrastinated.

So maybe it’s not about AI making us lazy or smart — it’s about how we choose to use it. Like any tool, it can either dull us or empower us.
