Use AI to Think with You, Not Think for You
I have finally integrated an AI agent into my daily work. It helps me to perform daily prioritisation and strategy brainstorm. I have been experimenting with AI for many months; it is only until today that I integrate it into my workflow. I kept it at armlength because I am concern on hallucinations and I become overly rely on it.
I had a change in mind when someone explained to me that I should treat AI like an intern. I can delegate jobs to the intern, but I still need to check the work. I am 100% responsible for the intern's job quality.
I should also treat AI like a good smart friend whose is always willing to share its thoughts. This is a friend who is also open minded and does not have an ego. I should challenge its thoughts and allow it to challenge my thoughts. As we both challenge each other, we all be smarter.
In a nutshell, I should not passively accept AI's answer. I have to challenge and check its work.
