Summary

The author proposes using AI as a personal coach, discovering cognitive blind spots and strengths through regular review of interactions with AI, to achieve continuous growth.

I think a very important approach to learning AI today is to make AI your personal coach. Many people now try to use AI to help them finish work or answer questions. But going further, we can also use AI to observe ourselves from the other side and uncover more value for our own growth. We interact with AI over long periods, letting it help us with all kinds of work and constantly giving it instructions. In this process, a lot of things we are not aware of actually surface: What common patterns do the problems I keep running into share? What abilities of mine have grown through the problems I solved during this period? Are there flaws in my habits and judgment? Do I have shortcomings or strengths I haven't noticed? All of these can be discovered through regular review. Hand over the tasks and conversations you've had with AI over a period of time, and let it summarize and analyze them for you. It can help us fill in our cognitive map and knowledge map, identifying important missing pieces; more importantly, it can help us see our weaknesses and blind spots, as well as the strengths we haven't yet recognized. I think this is the capability that makes AI truly valuable and genuinely helpful to us. With this method, AI can become our personal trainer: helping us close cognitive gaps, expand skill trees, find problems and keep iterating, while uncovering and amplifying our strengths. The longer we use it, the more data accumulates, and the better AI understands us, the better it can help us amplify our abilities, forming a positive cycle of using and accumulating, accumulating and growing stronger. I believe this is a capability everyone should master today: growing together with AI.

I think that when it comes to learning AI today, one very important approach is: be sure to use AI to become your own personal coach.

Many people now try to use AI to help them complete work or answer questions. But going a step further, we can also use AI to observe ourselves in reverse and uncover more value for our own growth.

Over long periods of interaction with AI, we have it help us complete all kinds of work, and we continuously issue it various instructions.

In this process, many things we ourselves aren’t aware of actually get exposed: What commonalities do the problems I repeatedly run into share? Through the problems I’ve solved during this period, which of my abilities have grown? Are there flaws in my behavioral habits or judgment? Do I have shortcomings or strengths I haven’t discovered?

All of this can be uncovered through regular review. Hand over the tasks and conversations you’ve had with AI over a period of time, and let it summarize and analyze them for you.

It can help us fill in our cognitive maps and knowledge maps, identifying important missing pieces; more importantly, it can help us see our own weaknesses and blind spots, as well as those strengths we haven’t yet realized we have.

I think this is the ability that truly makes AI valuable and genuinely helpful to us.

With this approach, AI can become our personal coach: helping us fill cognitive gaps, expand our skill trees, identify problems and iterate continuously, while also uncovering and amplifying our own strengths.

The longer we use it, the more data we accumulate, the better AI understands us, and the stronger its ability to help us amplify our capabilities becomes—forming a positive feedback loop where the more we use it, the more we accumulate, and the more we accumulate, the stronger we get.

I think this is an ability everyone should master today: growing together with AI.
