Where to get help from AI

In a personal essay, the author advises thinking carefully about where to get AI help, using the analogy of a job versus a gym: AI is fine for moving heavy things in manual labor, but writing is 'gym work' that trains the brain and cannot be delegated because writing supports thinking.

Where to get help from AI

Think very carefully about where you get help from AI. I think of it as Job vs. Gym.

  • If we’re working a manual labor job, it’s fine to have AI lift heavy things for us because the actual goal is to move the thing, not to lift it.
  • This is the exact opposite of going to the gym, where the goal is to lift the weight, not to move it.

Für mich ist Schreiben “gym work”. Es trainiert mein Hirn. Völlig sinnlos, dass von einem Automat erledigen zu lassen. Schreiben unterstützt denken. Erst wenn ich den Gedanken sehe, ist er fertig. Das kann ich nicht delegieren.
