What is the definition of learning?

With the barrage of AI tools that are being released each week, I am now, more than ever, reminded of the importance of the definition of the word "learning".

The definition as I define it now, was taken from Alex Hormozi (I encourage all of you to check him out, as the way he approaches problems and life circumstances is valuable, irregardless of whether you're a business owner or not).

His definition of learning is, "Same conditions, new behavior".

Example: If I show you a red card, then slap you, and then the second time I show you a red card, you duck, you have LEARNED. The speed at which you change your behavior can be defined as 'Intelligence' (note, it is a speed).

## Why does this matter ##

If you "learn" a new AI tool every week, but don't actually change how you work, or live life as a result of it (in a meaningful way), YOU'VE LEARNED NOTHING.

*it also makes you stupid*

Remember that the next time you spend hours every week learning the new AI tools that come out.

## TLDR/So what can I do ##

I find that most of the tools that are coming out are only incrementally better (5-10% improvements), not orders of magnitude better (2-3x improvements). And usually, those incremental improvements get covered for as you get better at using the original tool, or discover new ways to use it.

My suggestion is to find a handful of tools that get the job done, and use those to achieve whatever you're working on (business, life efficiency improvements, content creation, web design, finances, etc).

Hope this helps!
