AI Flywheel Effect

A flywheel is a heavy wheel that is hard to start and hard to stop. Give a machine one, and each small push adds to a momentum that eventually drives itself.

Smart tools work this way, in plain terms. The tool that is used most gathers the most experience; the most experienced tool becomes the most useful; the most useful tool is used most. Round and round. Each turn makes the next turn easier.

This is why the first mover in a new technology often stays the leader — not because their beginning was brilliant, but because every user since has been quietly pushing their wheel.

The personal lesson matters more than the industrial one. Learning works the same way. Ten pages a day looks like nothing; five years of ten pages is a library and a different person. Choose your wheel, push it daily, and let the turning do what force cannot.
