The skills we’ve spent decades pushing kids to master—factual recall, information synthesis, fast analysis—just got automated overnight.
Dr. Dana Suskind’s essay raises a chilling point about what happens next: as #Artificial Intelligence commoditizes cognitive tasks, the real "hard currency" of the future will be soft skills—empathy, critical thinking, and relational depth. But those skills aren't built through optimized algorithms or endlessly patient AI companions. They’re forged through imperfect human connection and real-world micro-frictions. #ScholER
The real danger? Human presence is becoming a scarce resource. Wealthier families are choosing low-tech, relationship-rich environments for their kids, while overstretched parents are left relying on cheap, automated alternatives.
If human interaction becomes a luxury good, we aren't just looking at an economic divide anymore—we’re facing a biological and neurological one.
Are we designing AI to free up time so we can actually be present with our kids, or are we offloading the very interactions that make us human? #Digital Wellness 📱🧘
