How to Use AI Without Becoming Worse at Your Job

Lean on AI for everything and you slowly forget how to do the work yourself.

Every task you hand to a model is a rep you don't take. Do that enough and the skill quietly fades: you can still ship output, but you've lost the judgment to tell when it's wrong. Most advice about AI ignores this trade-off entirely and pushes you to automate more.

This course draws the line between healthy leverage and self-sabotage. You run an atrophy test on your own habits, learn to outsource volume while protecting the reps that actually build skill, and treat the model as a sparring partner that pushes back instead of a ghostwriter that thinks for you. A weekly real rep keeps the muscle you depend on from going slack.

Who it's for

Knowledge workers: who write, code, or analyze daily and feel their edge dulling the more they delegate to AI.

Founders and operators: who want AI's speed without losing the hands-on judgment their decisions rest on.

Students and early-career professionals: who want to build real competence first and use AI to extend it, not replace it.
