The Nature of AI as Collaboration
The assumption that AI is simply a tool to provide answers is fundamentally misleading; understanding AI as a collaborator can unlock its full potential. Many people treat AI like a search engine, expecting a one-way flow of information. In contrast, effective use of generative AI requires recognizing it as an intelligent partner that enhances creative processes rather than a magical solution to problems. Embracing this mindset encourages users to invest time and effort into working alongside the AI to achieve better outcomes.
