AI is providing people with the fastest way we've ever had to solve the wrong problems

AI is providing people with the fastest way we've ever had to solve the wrong problems.

It will give you confident, well-structured answers that miss the point and eagerly solve the symptom you described instead of the problem you have.

The people furthest ahead here aren't the ones who know their domain best. They're the ones quickly identify when AI missed the mark, understand why, and know how to redirect it. That takes two things: deep familiarity with your problem space, and enough hands-on time with LLM based systems to know where they're strong and where it consistently falls short.

You can't get the second part from reading about it. You get it from pushing the boundaries, breaking things, and getting the feel for where you and AI best cover each other's weaknesses.
