The fatal flaw here is that an AI is more like asking a politician. Except maybe it won't gaslight you. It often has no idea what it's talking about, and pushing back may even have it change it's tune.

Society makes people do a lot of things they don't want. I wonder if we're going to hit a breaking point this generation.
One analogy I use a lot: if I have a professor sitting next to me, what is the best way to learn a topic?
Struggle through it on my own and I won't be leveraging the professors knowledge.
Ask the professor to do everything for me and I won't be learning anything at all.
Now if the professor is an AI, the same trade-offs hold.
For example, I will back and forth conversations with AI to explain subjects to me. I ask questions, push back, ask for examples, and so on.
If I do ask the AI to answer something for me, I then ask it to break down the answer for me so I can make sure I understand it deeply.
And of course, none of this matters if I don't want to learn something :)
