Where to let AI be your assistant and when not to.

MIT researchers found there’s a “Mind Melt” that happens when people rely too much on generative AI.
My takeaway is to use generative AI for the low-hanging fruit tasks like emails or organizing your notes.
This week’s Brief breaks that down in sixty seconds.

Use generative AI for the low-hanging fruit. The repetitive, logistical tasks that drain your focus, like organizing notes or drafting routine emails. Use it as an assistant that handles those tasks which normally take hours to complete.

But when it comes to the deep work that you care about, whether that’s working with customers, crafting copy, supporting people, developing strategy, storytelling, design, or even teaching, trust yourself. Do that work without AI, think through the challenge, and enjoy the process. That’s where our true enjoyment from doing the work comes from!
