How can AI support human creativity Here is what a new study found
The leading opinion is that AI cannot generate fundamentally new ideas on its own but that it can support humans to do so so by catalyzing human creativity. What’s easy to overlook, however, is that AI can also inhibit human creativity because as AI gets more intelligent, it becomes more helpful and distracting. Therefore, we should know how AI can support human creativity and where it does more harm than good.

We believe learning is a long game.
It is not about fitting learnings into a time box, it is about remaining curious and adding a little every day. No matter what you are going to get older every day, so why not also get a little smarter every day? It's not about having to learn a lot every day, it's about learning what you can towards personal learning goals, and if you stay with it you will end up with the skills and knowledge you want.
All sources of learning can feed the brain.
Curiousity is the key. If you can focus for a period of time everything can teach you something. We like to think that we never know when you will find a diamond on the beach. It is a good idea to keep walking on the beach and looking for the lessons that can be seen in everything (if you look hard enough).

The Protégé Effect: How to Learn by Teaching Others
One of the best ways to learn is by teaching others. This is called the protégé effect, a psychological phenomenon where teaching, pretending to teach, or preparing to teach information to others helps a person learn that information. The protégé effect helps you learn information better as a result of several psychological mechanisms stemming from the differences between how we learn information when we learn for ourselves versus how we learn when we expect to teach others.
