Researcher: thanks to AI, I can ask questions that once had a high social cost
m2saxon · x · 2026-10-28
Researcher zouharvi reflected that thanks to AI he can now ask questions that would otherwise carry a high social cost — asking a human expert something "too basic" is embarrassing, but asking an AI is not. Clarifying that his earlier question wasn't rhetorical, he noted he was equally confused and tracing where the confusion started. A resonant observation on AI as a zero-judgment entry point for learning.
