And honestly it’s the same with how people often relate to coaches and consultants they hire - people outsource their own discernment far too often in that context too but with ai it’s like instant gratification

This is an excellent reminder that your best advice and answers lie within yourself. No one, and no AI, knows you as well as yourself and no one has your best interests at heart as much as yourself.

Exactly Phil. “ Your most powerful ideas are already within you”.

I’ve even heard that people are now doing responses on comments with AI, which I was shocked.

If people are going to use it in this way that it does everything for them, even thinking, they will lose their thought process and whatever you don’t use you lose 🤔

There is definitely a place for AI and am a person that said I would never use it. It’s going to take over the world. Only if we let it 🚫

I totally agree with you. AI should be used to enhance and polish the ideas we have not dictate them. I don't see an inconvenience in using AI to brainstorm ideas as long as we know how to properly adapt those ideas to what we want to do. AI models are a powerful tool, but like most predictive models they make errors so we should not blindly take their words for the grand truth. We should take their output as suggestions just like what an inexperienced person would say around a coffee break.

I was just having this conversation with a business partner. He's an a-list copywriter and email marketer and doesn't use AI. He said "My thing is, and this is just me personally, the strain of finding the angles is where my magic gets released". I think that AI can be a great helper, but when we rely on it to do the work, especially for creative work, we risk losing the magic.
