“Writing a good prompt requires an understanding of the subject being explored. The prompter needs to know the context of the prompt. The development of that kind of understanding is exactly what a reliance on AI impedes. “The most useful deployment of current and near-future generative AI in research and expression absolutely requires that you already know a great deal,” writes Swarthmore history professor Timothy Burke, but the way the technology is actually being used “is brutally short-circuiting the processes by which people gain enough knowledge and expressive proficiency to be able to use the potential of generative AI correctly.” The tool’s deskilling effect extends to the use of the tool itself.”
