Mastery any complex field like mathematics, engineering, design, requires years of study, mistakes and a deeper, more gradual understanding.

If students rely on AI to solve every homework problem or design every experiment, they might get quick results but lose the learning journey.

My guess is that educators and parents will place even greater emphasis on the value of learning through effort. I certainly do this with my son.

They’ll probably set up scenarios with challenging problems that force them to think creatively beyond what AI can easily do.

We also might see an emergence of educational practices that deliberately delay AI at stages to build human intuition, then, once a student has sketched out an idea, AI would step in as a partner.

“No pain, no gain” could persist as a pedagogical principle. True understanding might only come from wrestling with a problem yourself before asking AI.
