Summary

In this episode I dive into the impact of AI tools on skill democratization, which I normally think is a good thing, and how it leads to an illusion of lowered barriers. I also go on to talk about how I'm worried about the potential skill gaps that are being created, and how they're best used as tools for experts, and not something that can innovate on it's own with some simple prompts.
