Opportunistic Tasks vs Prescriptive Tasks

Tasks can be categorized into opportunistic tasks, where generating multiple possibilities is preferred even if some are incorrect, versus prescriptive tasks, where accuracy and precision are crucial. In the context of generative AI, focusing on generating possibilities is more efficient than striving for perfect accuracy. This differentiation is crucial in various fields such as creative design, politics, and education, to determine when to opt for opportunistic solutions and when to demand well-defined prescriptive solutions.
