## Drugery vs Productive Friction Drugery -- prohibits efficient learning Productive Friction -- helps learning ## AI is eliminating friction (good ones and bad ones altogether) > But friction, once an indispensable process of building competency and perspective, is vanishing to AI. A single prompt generates polished landing pages, completes brand systems, and ships working applications. The fruit that once required long, arduous labor now drops directly into our laps, *ripe yet uncannily hollow*. > AI allows production without labor, creating the illusion of progress while sidestepping much of the actual learning. [[Productive friction fosters learning, taste, and judgement]]
