How Manual Focus Lenses Make Everyone Better Photographers

Fact: if you set up a machine or something else to do something for you automatically, then you eventually forget how to do it. That's a pretty universal fact if you really think about it. Washing machines replaced people hand washing their clothes. Microwaves made people forget how to cook. Videos hinder the muscles you develop learning how to read. And similarly speaking, AI and autofocus make you forget how to actually focus a camera and a lens while thinking critically about the scene that you're photographing.
