Writer, educator, creative explorer—and a lifelong learner at heart. PixelPia’s Perspective is my personal corner of the web, where I reflect on how technology, creativity, and curiosity shape the way we live and grow. After decades of teaching and experimenting with emerging tools, I’ve learned that writing isn’t just how I share my thoughts—it’s how I find them. Sometimes it’s methodical, sometimes it’s playful, but always honest. This blog began as a quiet place to make sense of the world—and maybe offer a little encouragement to others doing the same. I still write like I did back in the online diary days: to understand, to connect, and to keep learning out loud.

Do the use of AI make you less creative?

Does using AI make us less creative—or does it simply change what creativity looks like? I’ve noticed that when I bring AI into my process, I don’t stop being creative. Instead, my role shifts: from building everything myself to shaping, questioning, and remixing. It feels different, but no less real.

Beyond the Step-By-Step: Learning Without Tutorials

Tutorials are no longer the destination—they’re trail markers. With AI and self-trust shaping how we learn, the journey is less about following steps and more about making discoveries.

Why Tutorials Are Fading

Lately I’ve been noticing something: tutorials aren’t landing the way they used to. I don’t mean the bad ones—those step-by-step lists that never quite work as promised. I mean the good ones, too. The kind that once felt like a lifeline when I was learning a new tool or skill. Maybe it’s because the way we learn is shifting. We don’t always want a pre-set path anymore. We want to […]
