Anyone not using AI to achieve their goals, aims and objectives risks being left behind. I use AI every day. I use AI to do lots of thought experiments. What if this … Just suppose that … Let’s try again etc etc.
Also, to help draw insights from academic research, gather interesting articles and relevant studies, explore new ideas, analyse data, generate alternative viewpoints, do x10 thinking (do a GBB), improve writing, create images and presentations, and provide background research for our School of Thinking mission: to get neuroscience, as a school subject, taught in primary schools in Australia.
If I only used AI to write articles from beginning to end, they would be second-rate articles. But if I did not use AI at all, it would take much longer to write, cover less ground, and be less well-researched.
AI need not be a replacement for thinking. It can be a multiplier of thinking.
