AI should be used for what it’s best at — automation of mundane and repetitive tasks. We should embrace AI to help us become more productive in what we do, not just at our jobs, but in our lives. Thanks for this post!

I personally think the people who are really going to shine in the age of AI are those with strong creativity and critical thinking. They’ll be the ones who know how to prompt, synthesize, and uncover fresh, compelling angles—using AI to push ideas further than they might have on their own.

But if you’re just plugging in straightforward prompts without any real thought or imagination behind them, you’re not going to get very far.

I agree. There must be a lot of creativity, critical thinking, and learning as well to make AI highly effective.

Rafa, thanks for writing this piece so eloquently. You're right, it isn't about coding hundreds of lines of code. It's about solving problems that matter.

Coming to using AI for coding, there's no harm coding using AI, unless you know what it has written and the code will not cause any harm to anyone. It is about creativity, and code is a means to an end.
