We're seeing a lot of students, teachers, and scientists produce more, and worse, outputs because of improper AI use. It's possible to use it better: Have it imitate a critic. Learning and creativity come from getting criticism and experiencing friction.

We found that when knowledge workers intentionally use AI to challenge their ideas – to generate friction – they can significantly improve their performance. Previous research on human-AI collaboration for loan evaluations had similar results.

A study I was not involved with found that creative writers produce better copy when they use AI as a sounding board rather than to ghostwrite.

Yeah, right. I've tried to do this everywhere I've worked.

Why do we think managers are suddenly going to appreciate being told that they're wrong just because a robot does it?
