The calculator dulled our mental arithmetic without much harm, but with AI, some abilities are worth keeping sharp.
You ask the assistant for a draft out of curiosity, then every time, then send it as is, until the day you no longer dare to work without it. This quiet drift is rarely dramatic, but it can take away your judgment, your creativity, and your joy of doing. This module helps you choose deliberately what you delegate and what you keep alive.
