I think most people are using AI wrong.

Not because the tools aren’t powerful —
but because they’re applied to the wrong problems.

From what I’ve seen, AI actually becomes useful when you use it to remove friction, not replace thinking.

The only areas where it consistently helps:

• turning messy ideas into something structured
• automating repetitive tasks (emails, docs, summaries)
• speeding up research
• adapting content for different audiences

Everything else feels kind of overhyped.

The biggest shift for me was this:

instead of asking
“what can AI generate?”

I started asking
“what part of my workflow is repetitive or slow?”

That’s where it actually made a difference.

Curious how others are using it —
what’s something AI genuinely helped you do faster or better?
