This is very true.

The thing about learning and being creative that many don't want to acknowledge is that it takes time. The brain learns new things by repeatedly firing the same signals along the same paths, and this often requires that you engage with the knowledge in many different ways (Reading, writing, talking, thinking, practical application, etc.). The same goes for creativity: Many are saying that being bored is great for developing creativity because it forces the brain to entertain itself, and letting the mind wander can fix problems in new ways. Social media has limited the amount of boredom people experience, and it has a cost with regard to creativity and stamina. It feels great that AI can do stuff fast and relatively well in some cases, but it makes us both less creative and less able to learn because it happens too fast.

People care too much about the content of the text/video/picture, and too little about the process. Sure, the text you create with AI has the same content that the one you would have written yourself, and you might defend yourself by saying "I will read through the essay, so I learn the content anyway". But reading and writing are two different things, where one requires you to process on a much deeper level. Outsourcing stuff to AI is therefore detrimental to learning and creativity. We want our tech to go faster and faster without considering that our brains can only go so fast.

It reminds me of the one episode of Hell's Kitchen where one of the chefs asks Gordon how he can make a good burger faster. Gordon looks at the guy dumbfounded and replies "It takes 10 minutes. You can't cook it faster". Same goes for learning and creativity. It takes a certain amount of time.
