Knowing When NOT to Use AI
We spend a lot of time learning what AI can do. Write this. Research that. Analyze this. Automate that. But I think there’s another AI skill that doesn’t get enough attention: Knowing when not to use it. Sometimes it’s faster to make the decision yourself. Sometimes a conversation deserves your own words. Sometimes you already know the answer and asking AI five more times is just another form of procrastination. And sometimes the best use of AI is to get a little help, then put it away and do the work yourself. Being good at AI isn’t about using it for everything. It’s about developing the judgment to know when it adds value and when it doesn’t. That’s a skill worth practicing.

Thank you for sharing your comment. Another confirmation for me knowing when not to use AI. I know now that I can't submit a website that I let AI build and is due in four days. It looks good. Professional and shined up like the cover of a digital magazine. The tabs on the navigation bar clicking through and arriving where they are supposed to go. Brand theme colors and logo, all on point. So, I wasn't worried. But I was, something seemed off. My SaaS skool project is due the same day, I am tired, and I didn’t know what the click through said when it arrived where it was supposed to go. There is a reason for the human in the loop.

I'm stuck at the first mini challenge in the class "Getting Started with Claude: Even if you've tried before" trying to paste [ text in here ] in brackets where I am instructed to enter it. The same brackets where I'm usually successful at entering information.

Ok, thank you Jaycebel. I will try your suggestions and keep you or support informed depending on what happens.
What if it getting harder means you’re getting closer?
There’s a point in almost every breakthrough where things don’t feel like they’re working. You’re putting in the reps. You’re doing the work. You’re trying to make better decisions. But the results haven’t caught up yet. And THIS is where it gets dangerous. Because your brain starts looking for an escape hatch. Maybe I picked the wrong thing. Maybe I should change direction. Maybe this just isn’t working. Maybe I’m not cut out for it. But sometimes nothing is wrong. Sometimes you’re just in the part where the work is asking more of you before it gives you something back. Think about something you’re working toward right now. Are you actually stuck? Or are you just uncomfortable because you haven’t gotten the payoff yet? What’s one thing you know you need to keep going on, even though it feels harder right now?

My professor started our first day of SaaS class by sharing her motto. We will all encounter stumbles, obstacles, setbacks, and frustration, but remember: "It's not hard; it's new." I remembered how many new things I've conquered over the years through a trembling voice, a shaky body, and a near-paralyzing fear of public speaking or a typing test. I overcame it because I kept showing up, sometimes almost in tears, asking for help. That's how I found Tony Robbins. I was fresh out of college and still trying to get it or get over it. Keep trying, ask AI to explain it, and listen to Igor's videos as often as needed. My explanation level varies; sometimes it's a seven-year-old, and other times it's a seventh grader, and yesterday it was, "No, Claude, that's going in the wrong direction." That's one of the joys of AI. It doesn't judge us.

AI literacy upskill and reskill workshops for people who feel AI is out of their reach or moving too fast to keep up with.
