Matt Pocock(@mattpocockuk):Some more thoughts about this. Planning a section of my course felt really fucking hard with an agent helping me. It kept distracting me with irrelevant questions. It jumped to conclusions too early. It created complex assets too fast, and drowned my thoughts with commentary. I felt out-of-control. With pen and paper, I felt totally in control. I made progress slowly but steadily. The slow pace of the medium meant I could make decisions at human speed. AI seems to be a bad fit (for me) in situations where I need oversight over the entire output at once. Where changes in one place (an early lesson) ripple through the entire output. I.e. for some things, the tortoise beats the hare
