It involves using AI to refine structure, improve clarity, organise ideas, or speed up execution while still keeping the original thinking human-led.Personally, I use AI more as a support tool than a replacement. It helps me communicate ideas more clearly, but it doesn’t create the ideas for me.The thinking, experience, and perspective still come from the person.That distinction is important, because dismissing everything as “AI slop” ignores how most modern tools are actually being used in practice.</blockquote>
