AI with Allie: AI first vs AI last approach
Fragment from the last email I got from Allie K Miller I thought worth sharing. Really like the “AI last vs AI first” approach:
Are you stuck in the AI Tutorial Trap?
Last week, Allie spoke with a Fortune 500 CMO who said, “How the hell do you keep up with AI? I feel like I’ve watched 47 tutorials this month, and I’m still drowning.” She’s not alone, every month brings more videos, but not necessarily more clarity. Here’s the problem: Watching endless AI tutorials keeps us chasing the latest how-to, but rarely builds the foundational thinking that truly changes how we work It's the difference between:
• AI-last professionals: Memorize prompts, copy others, watch tutorials, but rarely innovate or discover new use cases on their own—like tourists following a guidebook.
• AI-first professionals: Develop mental frameworks and systems that work across any tool—like locals who know the shortcuts and hidden gems.
Bottom line: Tools and tutorials will always change, but the mental models behind effective AI use stay constant. Let’s focus on those, and not just the next how-to video.
What do you think, how do you see yourself on this AI-first vs. AI-last spectrum, and what do you think are the best ways to shift toward being truly AI-first?
