Quick Answer
For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".
Don't let AI make you lazy; let it make you sharp. Use AI to challenge your ideas, debate your strategy, and try to outperform your own drafts. If the AI can do it better, you need to level up.
Key Takeaways:
- AI sharpens founders or makes them obsolete.
- Run internal Red Teams against your ideas.
- Let AI argue the 'Devil's Advocate' position.
- Expose comfort-based thinking.
- The goal is to be distinct from the average output.
Playbook
Draft your best idea, then ask AI to critique it ruthlessly.
Ask AI to generate 10 alternatives to your plan. Can you beat them?
Use AI to simulate a competitor trying to disrupt you.
Regularly test: 'Could AI have done this task?' If yes, delegate it.

Common Pitfalls
- Falling into despair/imposter syndrome.
- Competing on tasks you should delegate (grunt work).
- Ignoring the critique because it hurts.
- Losing your own voice by merging too much with AI.
Metrics to Track
Differentiation score (how unique is your output vs. generic AI).
Growth in personal strategic capability.
Quality of ideas generated.
Speed of improvement.
