The Invisible Classroom
Anthropic's Education Lead says the gap between average and elite AI users is not technical. It is social. Using AI well is a social skill, not a coding skill.
Drew Bent leads education at Anthropic. He says something most AI discourse misses entirely.
Using AI well is a social skill. Not a technical one. The best AI users treat the tool as a collaborator, not a subordinate. They bring problems, not solutions. They challenge, not delegate. They load context before asking questions.
He describes classrooms where you “walk in and don’t even see the technology.” The AI is invisible. What remains is the learning relationship.
This inverts the standard framing. The question is not “which AI tool should I use?” It is “what posture should I bring to the conversation?”
The tool is invisible. The posture is everything.
