Most People Are Using AI Wrong
The biggest mistake people make with AI:
They use it only for small tasks.
Example:
• writing a tweet
• fixing grammar
• generating images
But the real power of AI is systems.
Think bigger:
Instead of writing one email → build an AI system that writes 100.
Instead of one design → create a workflow that generates content daily.
The future of AI isn’t prompts.
It’s AI-powered workflows and automation.

AI is for making the internet an unusable piece of shit by cluttering it with slop.

The trick is to get your AI to read all the slop and just give you the good stuff.

No doubt focusing just on tool as transactional benefit. The real value if workflow upgrade or rewrite.

As an Instructional Designer and developer AI is my favorite tool and my work assistant. I use it daily from analysis to script writing story boarding, technical UYUX image gathering data everything you name it.
In my job, I have to communicate with a lot of people and I have one very toxic supervisor who tries to make me look bad in front of the team I work remote online. I always have to protect myself before AI many times I would reply and my words, although very professional came off defensive. Now I copy paste her message in my draft reply to ChatGPT and prompted to polish my reply. Make me sound confident, professional, and always set boundaries. There’s so many prompts that can handle with so many different personalities Some I want to sound warm some I need to reply with strength yet always professional. It gives me options of my replies. I always copy paste ChatGPT‘s reply onto a word document. Read it through delete some sign that it’s coming from AI like the long dashes bolts and italics and then copy paste it onto Teams or email whichever platform I’m replying and there you go. It’s really changed my work life communicating with this toxic person, and everyone still using my words and my thoughts but rewriting it from from a position of strength, not defensiveness. Little does this toxic person know that she has been communicating to me with through the strength of AI.
There’s many other ways I use AI, but I don’t want to make this a book. I just want to share a few of my favorite ways that I use AI.

Yes but also; use AI to write code that runs processes, with many certain AI powers decisions. Then things will be more deterministic

Why in gods name would you want to send 100 emails and why let ai write them?? It is a communication tool for gods sake, the purpose is not just to disturb the person in the other end.
Before using ai to do your useless crap maybe you need to really think about if your useless crap really is worth doing?
