AI should *improve* our thinking, not replace it. But many fear it will.(See the many comments to my post yesterday exactly on this issue: https://lnkd.in/eDYdFD9E)
According to FiscalNote's survey, 57% of professionals fear AI will undermine strategic thinking and expertise.
That’s the top concern: bigger than privacy, job loss, or regulation.
I don't think AI is the *enemy* of thinking. Lazy (or uninformed) use of AI is.
Instead of outsourcing your thinking to it, experiment using it as a tool for deeper, faster, and better analysis ("help me reveal blind spots", "does this job ad have any hidden biases?", "what sort of read-between-the-lines insights can you discover in this speech?"). That requires mastering the techniques and understanding the creative uses of it.
Do you agree...?
