Day 65/100 Musings of the Week: You’re still smarter than AI As an avid user of large language models (LLMs), I believe the biggest risk we face isn’t the AI itself, it’s cognitive laziness. It’s easy to forget that AI is just a powerful tool and that it still needs wielding. Yes, LLMs may have the ability to generate impressive results, but they don’t possess our human insight, creativity, or judgment. Over time, we’ll begin to see a clear distinction between those who blindly follow AI outputs, and those who skillfully guide AI to bring their own unique vision to life. It’s tempting to let AI do all the thinking but now, more than ever, we need to think deeply, question critically, and apply our own perspective to steer these tools. If we don’t, we risk becoming just another echo in a sea of generic, bot-like outputs. So the next time you use Generative AI, remember: you’re still smarter than AI. Wishing us all a great weekend, and as always, remember that resting is as important as working hard #100DaysofLinkedIn #GenerativeAI
