The power of AI is it rewards due diligence.

The weakness of AI is that it is really easy to fall into lazy habits.

Something about having to talk to a machine like it's a human makes me fall for treating it like a human. I want to treat it as a probability engine that collapses to an answer based on input, but that input explicitly needs to be one that has it collapse to something a reasonably knowledgeable person would respond with, which more-or-less means talking to it like it is that kind of person.

I feel like it activates the social part of my brain and then I stop working with it properly. I'm still building the habit, though, only recently started taking the LLMs seriously as a tool.
