AI changes the apprenticeship.
- AI is a good sparring partner for learning. The old route to expertise involved a lot of junior work, partly because that was how you got enough repetitions.
- The bigger change is that it meets you where you're at. A course has one syllabus for everyone. With AI the syllabus can change as you learn.
- Skip what you know, stay on what you don't, go sideways into something useful. Challenge an argument, find the hole in a design, or explain it another way.
- There is a deskilling version, where you hand over the thinking. There is also an apprenticeship with an effectively infinite, student-specific syllabus.
- The learning hasn't gone away. It's moved.
