## 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]]
