> a Junior (in ANY subject) has the ability to LEARN so much faster with an AI research assistant

I’m not seeing this. And based on what we’re seeing at the university level, I’m not expecting to.

Yes, I agree, the skills are orthogonal. Digital typesetting is vastly quicker than manually putting down metal type, and since you’re exposed to more type you have the opportunity to learn faster. But getting good at typography with digital tools will help you very little if you need to lay out type manually.
