I'm learning by doing things.
For example: AI has helped me get into restoring retro tech, specifically resoldering leaky caps on retro Macintosh logic boards. Before AI, I didn't know how to use a multimeter (I knew theoretically how it worked), I didn't know how to use flux, solder wick, heat gun. I also didn't understand how bromine radicals yellowed plastic and how to reverse it by using blue light similar to what they use for indoor aquariums.
So AI unlocked doing for me.
You realise that every single one of those things had easily accessible videos to learn from, right?
You're happy using AI instead of other material because it will constantly tell you how brilliant you are, or how quick you're learning.
