I just saw a website selling their #AI platform. It's for building a #cms (content management system). Unlike others, it uses the AI to build the system, but not design the front end.

Nice idea! Customised CMS for your exact needs!!!

2 secs later, watching the video, I realised; it builds the system based on your *initial* prompt. When has a client ever known what they want before experimentation?

And how do you then fix a system you're already using, which you didn't build?

Nope.

Further to this
Shen and Tamkin's 2026 preprint showed this (cognitive foreclosure by offloading) with software developers (adults) learning a new coding library. Developers who fully delegated it to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding.

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.

Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.
