What is BAD vs. GOOD AI judgement?

by•

Would love to hear thoughts.
Here's my perspective.

I'm against AI slop, but I'm not against AI. I believe AI is a great tool but it also needs greats pilots to use it well. This is what I'm working on. AI Fluency.

Biggest marker of AI fluency is AI judgement. Where and when to use AI and where and when not to.

BAD AI JUDGEMENT

  • AI avatar job interviews. A robot face asks you scripted questions and scores your vibe. No human in the loop. You're not being interviewed — you're being processed.

  • AI-generated "thought leadership." Copy, paste, post. Zero lived experience, zero original thought. It's just AI slop in a blazer.

  • AI-written emails to people who matter. Your client can tell. Not because the grammar's off — because the warmth is.

  • VS

GOOD AI JUDGEMENT

  • Using AI to actually look at what a candidate did. Not keyword-matching a CV — pulling apart their portfolio, cross-referencing their claims. You still decide. You just decide better.

  • Using AI to draft, then making it yours. AI beats the blank page. But the final thing sounds like you and says only what you'd stand behind.

  • Using AI to poke holes in your own plan. Feed it your strategy and ask it to break it. Not to decide for you — to make sure you're not being lazy.

What do you think?

The poke holes in my plan example is one of the strongest. using AI as an adversarial thinking partner feels much healthier than asking it to make every decision.

The real skill is not getting AI to answer. Its knowing which questions you should not outsource.

I think the interface matters too. if a product makes AI feel like the default answer to every problem it subtly trains users to delegate things they probably should not.

The poke holes in you plan, example really resonates. Ai is most valuable when it improves our judgment , not replaces it.

I use AI constantly for drafts, but i have noticed the moment i stop editing and just accept the first version, my writing starts sounding like everyone else.

I am not sure AI written emails are always bad judgement. sometimes the best use is getting the structure right then putting your own voice back into it.

i think AI judgement really shows up in the moments where using AI feels convenient but is actually the wrong choice Testing those edge cases could reveal more than simply measuring how well someone uses AI.

For me the biggest signal is ownership. if you are willing to put your name behind the final decision and can explain how you got there, AI can be incredibly useful.

Bad judgement can also be using AI for something where the cost of being slightly wrong is huge. the tool might be capable but the stakes still matter.
