THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
AI is no longer the eager entry-level employee. Now it's the smooth consultant with all the answers.
Which would be great if it actually was a consultant, but it is, of course, just a computer.
So not only do you have to watch out for incorrect or made-up sources, but also be wary of believing a very smooth-sounding answer that may, in fact, be absolute rubbish.
So, what is a busy person to do? I think the main thing, actually, is to do your own thinking before you go anywhere near an AI prompt.
Even a walk around the block while you think about exactly what it is you need AI to do will get you a much better result than just sitting down and starting to type in whatever comes to mind. That way, you are in a better position to get a good result from the AI and, having done some of your own thinking, are less likely to accidentally go with whatever AI tells you without any consideration.
