AI massively increases the supply of output (text, code, slides, ideas). When output becomes cheap, the scarce thing becomes judgment: choosing good questions, setting constraints, checking correctness, and knowing what matters. So the new divide is:

  • Drivers: use AI as a tool inside a mental model (they can verify, stress-test, and integrate).
  • Passengers: use AI as a shortcut instead of a mental model (they can’t tell when it’s wrong). That said, AI can also reduce inequality by lowering the cost of tutoring and access to explanations. The catch is it only helps if it’s used to learn, not just to produce. My current view: AI raises the floor for people who get good guidance, but it raises the ceiling even more for people with strong fundamentals because execution gets cheaper faster than judgment does. submitted by /u/mo_84848
