An AI enthusiast, who enjoys creating images, coding, and experimenting with LLMs, describes a personal experience where engaging with AI has led to a renewed appreciation for traditional skills. Despite working on basic tasks like Python arithmetic, the individual feels a sense of personal improvement, stating, "I am better than before," rather than attributing the success solely to AI. This sentiment prompts curiosity about whether others have had similar experiences.
I'm a huge AI enthusiast. Doing images, coding stuff, messing around with LLM's.
But all this time I've had imposter syndrome with the stuff I make. I can orcherstrate agents, make better workflows, but I've never shaken the feeling: "I didn't actually do all this".
Don't know exactly how it happened, but I have recently started learning how to draw and how to code. Which wasn't what I expected.
For me AI was supposed to be easy mode to success. But now I'm doing all this manual work, learning to get better at them, and the feeling is...different.
I feel like I'm doing something real. Something I can be proud of. I might do exercises on some super basic Python arithmetics, kids stuff basically, but after that my feeling is: "I am better than before". Not "I got AI to work better".
So it's kinda like AI has given me the courage and resources to dive into things that develop me and my skills. A gateway of sorts.
Just wanted to put this out there, curious if others have thought about it or experienced something similar.
