&lt;p class="inline-image-caption"&gt;The more AI assists with the thinking process, the more humans must demonstrate the ability to check and complete assigned tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have entered an age when AI produces answers quickly. Finding information, writing sentences, organizing ideas, and making drafts have become much easier. But faster answers do not automatically make work better. If anything, as a large part of intelligence gets outsourced to AI, the human role becomes clearer.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>What Matters More Than Study Smarts: Four Fundamentals That Matter More as AI Gets Better</title><link>https://seunghoonchoi.com/column/six-fundamentals/</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://seunghoonchoi.com/column/six-fundamentals/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://seunghoonchoi.com/images/col-six-fundamentals.jpg" alt="A climber chalking their hands in front of a difficult rock wall"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="inline-image-caption"&gt;The faster AI gets, the more basic skills matter. A person still has to check whether the AI answer is right, what it missed, and whether it can be used as-is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AI now summarizes, translates, drafts reports, and even writes code. Does that make study smarts less important? I think the opposite is true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Memorization and repetitive calculation may matter less. But the ability to read sentences, understand how work moves, organize multiple pieces of information into structure, and handle invisible concepts matters more. The faster AI produces outputs, the more important the human fundamentals become for judging whether those outputs are right or wrong.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
