Artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming the way we work. While some perceive it as a threat to employment, it acts above all as a throttle productivity and creativity. But by relying too much on it, isn't there a risk of losing essential skills? How to find the right balance between powerful tool and risky addiction ?
Two scenarios are emerging in the use of AI:
🔹 AI as a lever → She boosts our actions, helps us to structure our ideas and optimize our work, while leaving us masters final decisions.
🔹 AI as a crutch → We use it without understanding how it works, which makes us Dependents and can make us lose fundamental skills.
Let's take web development as an example:
👨 💻 In the past, coding required in-depth technical expertise.
🤖 Today, models like DeepSeek Coder can generate powerful code in seconds.
❓ But if a developer relies exclusively on these tools, will they still be able to understand, debug, and improve their code themselves?
AI should not be a substitute, but a optimization tool. The one who knows how to use it saves time and improves the quality of your work. Conversely, the one who delegates without trying to understand risk of losing control of your job.
The challenge is therefore touse AI intelligently :
AI is a great driver of transformation. But for it to remain an asset and not a constraint, it is essential to keep a critical approach and not to lose sight of human expertise. Artificial intelligence will not replace skills, it is redefining how we mobilize them.
When do you use AI to improve yourself... and when do you start relying too much on it?
