I have been finding I spend more time writing when working with AI. While I do let it generate docs, it does not always do a great job and I end up reorganizing, reframing, or changing vocabulary. Those passes end up require rigorous thinking.
There has been some occasions where I cannot use AI as a thinking partner. It doesn’t have the imagination, intuition, or judgement. I have been relying more on my team in those cases.
This article reminds me of another method: grabbing paper and pencil and start doodling around to work out some ideas.
