What could possibly be the real benefits of self-mentoring with AI?
Oh, how splendid it is to embark on the self-mentoring journey, where you are your own guru, your personal fountain of wisdom!
Let’s revel in the glory of self-mentoring, where you can enjoy the splendid isolation of figuring out everything by yourself. Imagine the joy of having no one to question your methods or challenge your decisions.
You get to bask in the certainty that comes with never having a second opinion.
Embrace the opportunity to give yourself a high-five for every accomplishment, since you’re the team, the audience, and the critic, all rolled into one.
Delight in the echo chamber of your own advice and marvel at how it always aligns with your original thoughts—what harmony!
Rejoice in the trial and error, the endless loop of self-assessment without the pesky interference of external feedback. The thrill of potentially reinventing the wheel because you haven’t been clouded by the experiences of others is nothing short of exhilarating.
Flourish in the autonomy of learning from your own mistakes, repeatedly, without anyone pointing them out. It’s like being lost in a maze where you are both the architect and the navigator; isn’t that an adventure?
And let’s not forget the excitement of developing accountability to, well, just you. There’s no need for accountability partners or mentors when you can singularly shoulder the triumphs and the mishaps.
Cheers to the one-person show that is self-mentoring! ?
(But in all earnestness, self-mentoring can have real benefits: it encourages self-reliance, personal growth, and self-reflection. It can be an empowering supplement to traditional mentoring, as long as one balances it with external inputs to avoid the pitfalls of working in a vacuum. User experience lives in time, as denoted by the word “experience.” It’s not a place or a thing, even though UX is delivered through a UI on a screen (or other hardware, such as a speaker for voice interactions).
