my current take on using AI to "solve problems" or "do tasks": 1) AI is made to produce statistically average output, often making the process more complex if you care about quality 2) output can be completely false, often making the process more complex if you care about truth 3) if you are better than average at something: don't use AI, since you can probably do it better 4) and if you are worse than average at something: don't use AI, because it is probably dangerous, especially if you can't double check it 5) if you are willing to put in effort and aren't afraid of "sucking" first, you can learn to be better than average at skills. you can get over your imperfections and re-learn to just have fun actually learning stuff 🪷
