[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] But AI tools are highly sensitive to:

How specific the prompt is

Whether you give context

Whether you refine the output

Whether you iterate

The people who get the most value treat it like a collaborative tool, not a magic oracle. [/quote]

The problem with this is that if you're reasonably intelligent, it's much easier to just do it yourself. I imagine AI is helpful for people who can't think for themselves or write at all, which is a sizable enough cohort.[/quote]

I have to say I disagree with this. Uniformly, the very smartest people I know are the ones most impressed by, and most able to get value out of, interacting with AI.  It’s not always right; the prose usually leaves something to be desired; you have to double check anything materially important.  But:  it’s fast, fast, fast; it basically has memorized the entire internet and vast quantities of other data; it has a different perspective on a lot of issues that can shake loose important insights in the back and forth (a simulated perspective, yes, but that doesn’t make it not useful); and just interacting with it often forces a person to frame their own thoughts more clearly than they otherwise would, in an interface many times faster than interaction with a human colleague and without the need to manage the many other issues that are in play when you talk to a real person.

DP. The “entire internet” is riddled with errors. If humans can’t take the time to write something, it signals to me that it’s not worth my time to read it. When I read something and detect AI (and I can tell), I stop reading. [/quote]
