I’m glad you found AI helpful for your situation and it allowed you to slow down and think, then respond as your best self. That sounds like a great outcome.
I personally struggle with using AI that way. I feel like we lose our own capacity and over a generation will we know how to deal with each other ? Will we need AI to intervene because we lost that capacity for ourselves? I ask that because I’m from a generation old enough where we had to learn to deal with people face to face vs texts. The youngest generation has always had technology and having a conversation can be difficult for them. Is depending on AI to deal with others in tough situations in their future?
Yeah, I can understand your concern and my goal was less about saying “this how how to always use ai” and more of a way to show how in certain moments it can come in for an assist without taking over.
I think that’s what it’s so important to not just go through the motions but to reflect on them and see what you’re doing and why.
I think AI making things worse is a choice we make, not something it does on its own. People who choose to grow will grow. People who choose to find shortcuts will atrophy.
Great read! I've found the key isn't just feeding the AI more context but bringing sharper discernment to the questions themselves. The more carefully I frame what I'm really asking, the more meaningful the responses become. When used well, AI is less a shortcut and more a mirror.
