The Hidden Cost of Saving Time with AI: How to Avoid "Smoothout" Before You Lose Your Critical Thinking Skills Jul 06, 2026

Ever notice how the second something feels hard, you reach for AI instead of working through it yourself? This week, I'm digging into a brand new term, "Smoothout," coined by journalist Ellen Scott to describe what happens when we hand over every challenge to AI and slowly lose our edge. I uncover why our brains actually crave friction, why that's a good thing, and where the line is between using AI as a smart shortcut and using it to avoid skills we still need. This isn't about quitting AI. It's about staying intentional with what you hand over, and what you hold onto.
