INC. —  It turns out that the cleverest users of AI don’t merely use it as an aid to productivity. Think of some simple AI uses, like letting it smooth-over a rough draft email, or to fill in a simple timesheet automatically. 


Instead sophisticated AI users treat AI more like an intellectual sparing partner, a general cognitive aid that they apply to help them tackle their most ambitious tasks. And they don’t just fire off a question to AI in a one-and-done maneuver—they set boundaries and parameters to shape the AI’s answers, and they iterate their AI prompts to steer the replies in meaningful ways.
