Strong disagree. The "AI-Assisted Cognition" phrase is loaded.

Would you attempt to, for example, simultaneously modify for available ingredients, number of diners, and time-optimize the prep method for a recipe you've never cooked before if you were following an old-school cookbook? No. You'd have to be a pretty solid chef to try all that on at once.

Using AI, you might branch out confidently in to new areas, executing all of these modifications simultaneously, and even adapting the output for a specific audience or language.

This toy example shows an important property of AI as decision support systems, which are well studied in the military domain: using these systems, we build confidence to act in unfamiliar domains, thereby extending our reach. From this experience we can learn more. The fact that the learning may then occur through, ie. during or after the experience, rather than beforehand, is secondary. It's still there. The fact we didn't know the language the AI translated to for our chef is totally irrelevant.

Sitting comfortably at the effective apex of millions of years of human cognitive and technology development with the entire world's knowledge at our fingertips, every day we can extend confidence in novel domains through AI, and enjoy it. We should be feeling pretty damn "developed".

Rote formalism and fixed paths in pedagogy are gone: good riddance. This is the hacker age.
