RESEARCH, BOOKS & PRACTICE.

Technology & people · Draft

AI does not ask the question for you.

Tools can accelerate the work. A person still has to choose the direction.

Illustration for this article

Before opening a new tool, I like to write down what I am trying to understand. Sometimes that alone makes the problem smaller.

When using AI, try separating three roles: proposal, critique, and verification. Do not let one answer do all the work for you. Important information still needs to be checked against suitable sources.

The final question is not how much the tool did. It is what you now understand and how you will take responsibility for your decision.
