Lately, I’ve been using AI tools more in my day-to-day work. They’re great for speeding up research, writing quick snippets of code, or even just helping me organize thoughts.

But here’s the thing, sometimes I wonder if leaning on them too much might make me a little “rusty” when it comes to solving problems on my own. Like, am I thinking less deeply because I know AI can spit out an answer in seconds?

At the same time, these tools really do save time and give me room to focus on bigger-picture stuff. So it feels like a trade-off.

I’m curious,

• Do you feel your own problem-solving skills change when you use AI daily?
• Have you found a good balance between using AI and still keeping your own skills sharp?
