Using AI for inefficient tasks while preserving deep thinking

Don't use AI to do the hard stuff for you. Use it to do the things you're inefficient at because computers are designed poorly.

What are the things where you end up spending a lot of time just clicking boxes, copy-pasting things back and forth, or looking through piles and piles of information? Make it bring you your own thinking. Make it bring you other people's thinking. Make it lay it out for you.

Then you get to do the putting together of puzzle pieces. You get to do the deep thinking. That's where you excel. That's where you've built your experience and your career. That's where you get a lot of joy from. I know I do.

So how can you build systems where AI scaffolds the deep thinking process for you, but you still have to do the thinking? It might do some background research. It might surface somethings. It might pull out specific sections from an article, from something you wrote earlier, from rough notes, so you can recompose them.

Don't fall for the promise that you don't have to do the thinking anymore.
