“Skills, not scores” is phrase that I repeat often to my students to try to get them to focus on their learning and not just on the grade they receive.
I have been looking for a phrase to use to explain why they should not use generative AI to do their work for them. A slight rewrite of your: “Skip the struggle, skip the meaning" to “Skip the struggle, skip the learning” fits the bill.
I believe this post is for subscribers only. Would you be willing to allow me to share it with the students in the MS program that I run?
The struggle to accomplish something (or even get halfway there) is the reward. I could just get in my car and drive 26 miles, or I could train for several months to actually run a marathon. (I added the “halfway there” part because I only run half-marathons. Well, I’ve run a couple of 15-milers, so I guess I’m an ultra-half marathoner.)

Of course! I’ll remove the paywall now.
Thank you!

Figuring something out instead of relying on generative AI is like exercise for the brain.
The saying, "It's the journey, not the destination" comes to mind....(But your destination was great!)
Nailed it!
Great one, including the drawings...
Living life as an artist is a practice.
You are either engaging in the practice or you’re not.
It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it.
It's like saying, I m not good at being a monk.
You are either living as a monk or you’re not.
We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.
The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.

Thank you, Jason. Five hours a day, every day, for six years. Daunting. But I'd rather die trying than take credit for an AI "win."
