A lot more tricks can be learned from just watching AI work. Instead of allowing AI to work autonomously, go back to the old days where you manually approve every command the AI runs. Just recently while doing performance optimization work, I found Opus using the `perf` command in ways I didn’t know possible. Just give AI a real task and carefully read what commands are used by the AI to solve the problem; most likely the AI uses a trick or two that you didn’t know existed.
That is indeed a good way to pick up new tricks with AI! But I'm afraid a lot of us will just end up mindlessly pressing "Approve".
I doubt people will have the energy to pause and look at the reasoning behind each output when they're overwhelmed by the sheer volume and speed of AI output.
And more fundamentally, I know it can be fun to learn new tricks, but I agree with phforms that if you don’t use them often enough, the novelty wears off quickly. And with AI taking over more of the work that used to help us learn by doing, we may end up with even fewer chances to actually internalize those skills.
