The risk of AI isn't making us lazy, but making "lazy" look productive
Summary
The Hacker News discussion centers on how AI changes learning and software development practices. It argues that AI can accelerate research and coding, but real understanding requires deep work, and the risk is AI making shallow learning appear productive. Participants share practical approaches for integrating AI as a bridge to code rather than a replacement, including pair-programming and disciplined use of AI to speed up routine tasks.
