> What happens when we outsource boring but important work to AI? Research shows we forget how to do it ourselves

Cue some sanguine response about how the problem is not actually a problem and something about buggy whips.

I think the article raises an important point, but is otherwise not great. It suggests continuing to relying on automation but "paying attention" while you use it. I think that's a pretty bad, suggestion actually.

I think the key to keeping ones skills up is to consciously reject automation, some significant fraction of the time. E.g. choose yourself to do 5% of your "fixed-asset accounting reports" manually, or force your subordinates to do so. Drive with the GPS off half the time.
