The same tool that\u00a0made the\u00a0homework\u00a0better made\u00a0actual\u00a0learning\u00a0and information retention\u00a0worse\u00a0in many cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially,\u00a0AI\u00a0is helping\u00a0students\u00a0complete assignments without actually processing and retaining\u00a0the material those assignments were designed to teach. Homework is not the point. Homework is the mechanism through which learning happens. When AI does the homework, the learning gets skipped, and the exam, which tests the learning rather than the completion, exposes the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick draws\u00a0a\u00a0calculator\u00a0comparison.\u00a0At some point, everyone\u00a0was required\u00a0to learn arithmetic without a calculator. That foundational work is what makes calculator use functional rather than dangerous. If you never learned the underlying math, you cannot tell when a calculator is giving you a wrong answer. The same logic applies to any skill: AI can accelerate and augment what you already know, but it cannot substitute for the foundational development that makes you capable of evaluating its outputs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geoff&#8217;s\u00a0cites\u00a0Zynga founder Mark Pincus: AI gets you to a B+, but it will not get you to an A, and if you have never done the work to understand what an A looks like, you will not know you are settling for less. That is the compounding risk for employers who hand AI tools to early-career employees without building in the developmental guardrails that produce judgment over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-talent-development-problem-nobody-has-solved-yet\">The Talent Development Problem Nobody Has Solved Yet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick&#8217;s honest admission is that no one in HR or leadership has articulated a workable solution yet. Companies are broadly pushing AI adoption for everyone, and no CEO or HR leader Nick is aware of has publicly described a policy that accounts for the different risks AI poses at different career stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geoff&#8217;s practical prescription mirrors what he and Nick have discussed in prior episodes: the co-working model. Rather than individual employees using AI in isolation, building a culture where AI is used in group settings, where more experienced employees can model evaluation and judgment alongside less experienced ones, creates the developmental context that solo AI use strips away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-four-day-work-week-and-what-employers-can-do-right-now\">The Four-Day Work Week and What Employers Can Do Right Now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New research\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.benefitnews.com\/opinion\/the-4-day-week-could-be-the-next-big-obesity-intervention?lang=en_US&amp;lang=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported on\u00a0in Employee Benefit News<\/a>, drawing on data across 33 OECD countries, found a clear correlation between reduced annual working hours and lower obesity rates: a 1% reduction in hours is associated with a 0.16% decrease in obesity rates. A four-day work week\u00a0represents\u00a0roughly a\u00a020% reduction in working hours, implying a population-level health impact that is meaningfully larger than most individual wellness interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fewer working hours mean\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellable.co\/employee-wellness-challenges\/stress-less-challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">less chronic stress<\/a>, which is a significant driver of weight gain. More time available during the week means more opportunity for physical activity, better meal preparation, and less reliance on processed foods grabbed between meetings. Geoff notes that on summer Fridays or long weekends, the first things\u00a0people tend to do\u00a0are what they\u00a0cannot fit into a compressed work week\u00a0(like going for an extra walk or grocery shopping),\u00a0things that directly feed the health behaviors employers are otherwise trying to promote through wellness programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick is clear-eyed about the gap between the research and the reality: most employers, especially in the US, are not close to implementing a four-day work week at scale. His framing is more actionable: look at what a four-day work week&nbsp;actually delivers&nbsp;and ask what interventions can approximate those benefits within a five-day structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stress management programs and mental health support address the chronic stress dimension. Healthy food access in the office addresses the processed food substitution problem. Structured breaks during the day address some of the physical activity&nbsp;gap. Flexible scheduling, particularly around pickup times, school commitments, and personal errands, addresses the life admin compression that makes the current five-day structure feel unsustainable for many employees. None of these individually replicates the full&nbsp;effect, but&nbsp;stacked together they can close a meaningful&nbsp;portion&nbsp;of the gap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick also flags an emerging irony: AI, which was supposed to create space by doing more work in less time, has in many organizations produced the opposite result. The always-on culture enabled by AI agents running overnight and the expectation that employees should produce more because the tools make them more capable has left workers more stretched than before, not less. The four-day work week research is a reminder that time, not just tools, is a fundamental input into health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"faq-section\">\n      <div class=\"faq-accordion\">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"faq-item card card-faq\">\n          <button \n            class=\"faq-question\" \n            data-target=\"faq_1\"\n            type=\"button\"\n          >\n            What did the study find about AI's impact on student learning?            <span class=\"icon\"><\/span>\n          <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"faq_1\" class=\"faq-answer\">\n            <p><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW71052752 BCX0\">A study of tens of thousands of students found that 80%\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW71052752 BCX0\">used<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW71052752 BCX0\">\u00a0AI for homework.

The investment bank example illustrates this directly: polished deliverables from an intern class, paired with an inability to explain or discuss the content, led to a significant drop in return offer rates. Employers who hand AI tools to junior employees without building in developmental guardrails are likely to face a similar gap between output quality and actual capability.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n        <div class=\"faq-item card card-faq\">\n          <button \n            class=\"faq-question\" \n            data-target=\"faq_3\"\n            type=\"button\"\n          >\n            What is the Zynga founder's B+ framing about?            <span class=\"icon\"><\/span>\n          <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"faq_3\" class=\"faq-answer\">\n            <p><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW119287348 BCX0\">Zynga founder Mark Pincus stated that AI can get you to a B+ but will not get you to an A.

The result is a more stretched workforce, not a more rested one, which is directly relevant to the stress and obesity mechanisms that make the four-day work week research compelling.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n    \n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"full-episode-transcript\"><strong style=\"color: transparent; visibility: hidden; opacity: 0;\">Full Episode Transcript<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"faq-section toc-helper-accordion\">\n      <div class=\"faq-accordion\">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"custom-accordion-item\">\n          <button \n            class=\"faq-question\" \n            data-target=\"transcript_1\"\n            type=\"button\"\n          >\n            <h2><span class=\"TextRun SCXW145257824 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW145257824 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\">Full Episode Transcript<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n            <span class=\"icon\"><\/span>\n          <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"transcript_1\" class=\"faq-answer\">\n            <p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0Welcome to the Wellable Weekly Podcast, where we talk about key topics and trends at the intersection of wellbeing, technology, and HR.\u00a0I&#8217;m\u00a0Nick, along with my good friend Geoff.

The first one is an AI\u00a0one\u00a0and\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0one of those where the data from a study confirms what you might expect, but\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0still valuable to see it quantified. Some context: 80% of what they call rich world countries \u2014 industrialized countries \u2014 have undergraduates using AI. In Britain\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a094%, in Germany\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a093%. A new study focused on a younger cohort, sub-18, studied AI use and its impact on test scores and homework. Tens of thousands of kids were in the study. 80% were using\u00a0AI,\u00a020% were not. Of the 80% using AI, their homework scores went up by 18%. Good, right? Higher homework scores.\u00a0But homework is a tool to get you to perform well on exams and demonstrate competency.\u00a0That same cohort of 80% who saw improvements in homework saw a decline in exam scores of 20%. My guess\u00a0is\u00a0AI helped them do the homework so well that they\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0learn as much as they should have.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Geoff:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0I was trying to think of how this type of analysis would have been done when we were in grade school. The closest comparison I could come up with was kids who actually read the book in English class versus those who used Cliff Notes or Spark Notes to do the homework, and then came test time, didn&#8217;t quite have the full context. This is clearly\u00a0demonstrating\u00a0what\u00a0we&#8217;ve\u00a0probably realized\u00a0is happening in the workplace \u2014 doing tasks with higher efficiency and potentially higher quality in certain situations, but\u00a0maybe not\u00a0developing the same critical thinking.\u00a0The charts from the Economist article are really compelling here.\u00a0You can see the homework scores sliding\u00a0roughly 20\u00a0percentage points higher for AI users versus non-users, and\u00a0they&#8217;re\u00a0getting homework done faster \u2014 dropping about 21 minutes. But then when you look at exam performance, the non-AI users are performing at a higher rate by about 20%. As a former student and current parent thinking about raising a kid in an AI world, this is the concern: the prep work gets done better, but the real-life application suffers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0This reminds me of the calculator. At some point you had to learn to add and multiply with pen and paper, and then at some point you got a calculator. Nowadays\u00a0I&#8217;m\u00a0never trying to divide numbers manually. But\u00a0that&#8217;s\u00a0okay because at some point I was forced to learn it. The problem with AI is that\u00a0maybe it\u00a0has great utility, but we had the benefit of having to\u00a0write\u00a0our own papers first. Using AI to augment your writing is fine because you went through the\u00a0hard work\u00a0of learning it. My guess is that the skills that showed up on the exams were skills students had not developed because they learned them in the context of AI rather than working through them themselves. How this translates to work: if you hire someone fresh out of college, everything is new to them. AI has made all these tools better, but if you are really concerned about talent development, you\u00a0have to\u00a0force people to do things on their own at some\u00a0stage\u00a0or they will be underdeveloped. And at some\u00a0point\u00a0you cannot review AI work unless you know how to do the work yourself.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Geoff:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0You have to know what good looks like.\u00a0You have to go through the work\u00a0and\u00a0effort to be able to recognize it. There was a quote from the Zynga founder Mark Pincus: AI can get you to a B+, but it will not get you to an A. And you do not even know what an A looks like if you have never owned the work and taken the time to understand how you get there. The principle\u00a0probably applies\u00a0to\u00a0a whole range\u00a0of life and work skills that are just not going to develop in the same way for a generation that had to figure a lot of it out on their own.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0So\u00a0what is the\u00a0solution practically? If you are a company like Wellable, you hire experienced and less experienced people. Do you tell experienced folks they can use AI and younger folks they cannot? Because many companies out there say to every employee: here is a Claude account, use it. I have never heard a company try to segment that population.\u00a0Maybe it exists, but I have never seen an HR person or CEO talk about it that way.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Geoff:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0The simplest answer is what we have talked about before: the co-working concept. Not minimizing AI use but minimizing AI use in a vacuum by individuals working alone. What would have been interesting in this study is if children had been asked to use AI as part of a group project rather than for individual homework and an individual test. Internally at Wellable, the most effective approach has\u00a0been:\u00a0do not go down rabbit holes of prompting AI yourself. Try to solve a problem with a coworker or multiple people who bring different perspectives and experience levels. Between those collective experiences, you are more likely to have a sense of what good looks like and\u00a0get to\u00a0a better outcome.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0I see increasingly concerning patterns in my own day-to-day. I get things to review where someone runs stuff through AI and sends me four pages. No one has ever sent me four pages of pre-read material before a meeting. And when I read the full thing, there is often no real takeaway \u2014 a lot of words, not much substance. I see the same in Excel, where I get models with deeply nested formulas that might technically be correct but are so complicated that they are hard to audit. That raises a flag: it could be wrong, and the only way to verify it is to check manually, which defeats the purpose.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There was a Financial Times article about an investment bank&#8217;s 2025 intern class. The work product was polished \u2014 great decks, strong-looking deliverables. But when managers dug in, interns could not explain what was in the documents or defend the analysis. The percentage of that class receiving return offers dropped significantly, and the bank is rethinking whether to hire more humanities majors, on the theory that they may have developed stronger foundational skills because their fields have been slower to adopt AI. Six to twelve months ago, &#8220;AI native&#8221; was a hiring advantage. Now in some contexts it is becoming a yellow flag.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Geoff:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0The pendulum has swung fast. And as token caps and usage limits kick in at more companies,\u00a0maybe we\u00a0will all be forced to be more thoughtful and efficient with AI use rather than churning out prompts indiscriminately.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0That is a good segue\u00a0into\u00a0our second article. One of the things I think about with AI is the always-on culture it is creating \u2014 especially in San Francisco and the Bay Area, but\u00a0really globally. Even though AI can do a lot of work for you, people are expected to be more on than ever because they can do more. An agent runs overnight, so I need to check in on it. It is making the problem of overwork worse rather than better. And it connects directly to our second article: the four-day work week and its connection to lower obesity rates.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Not surprising in principle: what contributes to obesity? Stress, lack of physical activity, time pressure that pushes you toward processed food and away from cooking. If you work four days a week, you have more time, less stress, better opportunity\u00a0to exercise and eat well. The research is across 33 OECD countries and found that a 1% reduction in annual working hours is correlated with a 0.16% decrease in obesity rates. A four-day work week is\u00a0roughly a\u00a020% reduction in working hours, which scales that number significantly across a large population.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Geoff:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0I am a big four-day work week believer, more as an aspiration than an immediate policy change.\u00a0To see an article positioning the four-day work week directly as a physical health intervention was interesting.\u00a0From personal experience, on summer Fridays or long weekends, the first thing people do is life administration \u2014 grocery shopping, a longer walk with the dog, errands \u2014 all things that directly feed the health behaviors we are trying to promote through wellness programs. I just do not think we are\u00a0practically close\u00a0to a broad shift to four days in most organizations. But until that happens, there is a\u00a0lot\u00a0companies can do to move toward the same goals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0Whether we are there yet or not, the lesson from this article is to look at what a four-day work week\u00a0actually delivers\u00a0and ask what you can offer within a five-day structure.\u00a0Less stress:\u00a0stress management programs and mental health support. More physical activity: encourage breaks, build movement into the day. Better food: healthy snacks in the office, reduce the incentive to grab processed food in a rush. Flexibility: let people handle personal commitments without treating every absence as a performance issue. Stack those small wins and you can close a meaningful\u00a0portion\u00a0of the gap without changing the work schedule.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Geoff:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0It is about removing barriers to the behaviors we know\u00a0contribute\u00a0to better health and wellbeing. Finding small wins across company values, policies, and programs adds up to real changes in how employees feel and, by extension, their physical health. If we went to a four-day work week and gave everybody GLP-1s, we would really be solving most of the world&#8217;s problems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nick:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0And before we wrap up \u2014\u00a0I believe this\u00a0is your last episode for some time.
