AI Is Antithetical to Learning

    This is another nonsensical AI-hate article. HN has a cluster of users motivated to posting AI-hate. AI is a general-purpose tool; you can trivially use it for learning or for evading learning.

    Consider for example something as familiar as coffee. It can stimulate you, but if you chronically over-consume it, it will inevitably ruin your sleep and make you more fatigued. This doesn't make coffee antithetical to energy.

    A fairer title to an article would be "AI reshapes learning", but people prefer making bombastic, clickbait, and false claims instead.

      I'm not sure I fully agree with the article either, but I think that comparison is kinda nonsensical, over generalized and just handwaves a bunch of points and arguments about the article.

      I don't think this brings your point across at all. If you disagree with the article, just saying "no, it's a tool, like coffee" does not meaningfully engage at all with any of the points made.
