Saw a framework recently that I like for how we interact with AI:
View your AI outputs as the floor, not the ceiling.
There is a lot of anti AI slop sentiment bouncing around, and rightly so.
It shouldn't take someone longer to read something than it took you to make it.
So why do bad outputs pass so many people's filter for what is good enough?
Well... AI is good at making things look finished. Clean formatting, confident tone, structure that reads like a final draft.
Layer that in with how quickly you can now produce something, and with such little effort (relatively), it's no surprise we're all so eager to ship.
It's easy to skim an AI output over, check it off your list and move onto the next thing.
10x productivity!
But... 10x rubbish is just more rubbish.
So, AI can get you part, sometimes maybe even most, of the way to something.
But the final stretch still has to be yours. The edits, the tweaks, and most importantly the JUDGMENT!
AI has for sure raised the floor for everyone, but it can't get you to (or past) the ceiling on its own.
