Aside from the clickbait title, I pretty much agree ;)

I don't think it's that people use AI *wrong*. It's that they use it like it's a tool (a software application), instead of treating it like a human.

As I say often, AI isn't human, and never will be; but it's the first tool we humans have created that we can treat *as if it was* human, and that's it's true revolutionary feature. So, AI's power is less about its *capabilities* and more about how amazingly easy it is to *access* those capabilities (and as we increasingly integrate AI, to access the capabilities of almost every application there is, just by having a conversation).

After all, big data and GPT existed years before ChatGPT came on the scene. It's the "Chat" in ChatGPT that has transformed our world.

AI gives amazing answers - way better than most humans in most subjects. So, the more we can treat AI as our own dedicated cross-functional consultant, the more it multiplies our efforts.

But where AI is weak - and where we humans add the most value to this equation - is in knowing what questions to *ask*. The good news it that most people, once they really "get" that they can ask AI about almost anything, start asking it about almost everything. And the real skill to develop to get the most out of AI is to learn how to asking really good questions.

I'm totally agree with you here, the “treat it like a human” point makes total sense.

I think the problem is that most people still use AI like Google. They type a quick query, get a quick answer, and that's all.

That's why I said that people are using AI wrong. And I want to keep it simple to reach a wide number of audience.

Also, loved your statement and fully agree on that as well: "And the real skill to develop to get the most out of AI is to learn how to ask really good questions".

Lastly, from now onwards, I won’t write any clickbaity titles. Thanks for the suggestion.

Please don't take it as a criticism - I don't begrudge anyone their clickbait! X-p

And in fact, I generally use titles which are contrarian or suggest a contradiction, because they definitely get more attention.

I do suspect, though, that there are some people (at times including me) who won't bother to read the article if the title seems a little too over-the-top. So, keep using titles that grab attention - it's a necessity in our world; just be careful not to turn people off.

No worries at all, I'm not taking it as criticism, don't worry about that.

I totally get your point.

I'm even thinking to focus on writing more quality posts without writing some clickbaity titles.

So, I'm just taking it as a suggestion. That's all, and thanks for providing me with honest feedback.
