Working with AI tools can be an isolating experience, as the immediate and responsive nature of AI means that the learning process and any struggles encountered are not visible to others. This lack of observation prevents the sharing of knowledge and best practices, similar to how Pair Programming in software development facilitated collaborative learning. While discussions about AI models and prompts are common, they often amount to sharing recipes rather than engaging in the deeper, collaborative problem-solving that occurs during an AI session. This individual learning curve can lead to an overestimation of one's abilities, as demonstrated by a study where participants using ChatGPT for logical reasoning tasks performed better but also overestimated their performance, especially those with more AI knowledge.
