Autopilot Mode
Over-reliance on AI without critical engagement, leading to diminished personal skills and potential errors. Basic AI proficiency is now a baseline (like Microsoft Word); to advance, develop specific skills to avoid autopilot.
Core Skill: The Cockpit Rule
A mental model for intentional AI use:
- Delegate: When AI handles tasks reliably (e.g., data processing).
- Collaborate: When AI refines outputs (e.g., writing, coding).
- Avoid: When human judgment is essential (e.g., ethical decisions).
