One of my favorite ways to use AI is surprisingly simple.
I don't ask it to give me answers. I ask it to improve my thinking and be my critical thinking partner.
A framework I come back to often has three steps:
1. Build knowledge.
"Explain this concept from different perspectives."
2. Challenge ideas.
"What assumptions am I making? Where could I be wrong? Give me the strongest counterargument."
3. Calibrate decisions.
"What evidence am I missing? What risks haven't I considered? What would change your recommendation?"
Try it and notice what changes. AI isn't about replacing judgment but helping us exercise it. That's a subtle but important shift.
