10 Things NOT to Do When Using AI

AI is powerful, exciting, and a little scary- kind of like giving a toddler scissors. If you want to use it without embarrassing yourself (or getting replaced by it), here’s what not to do.

1. Don’t Expect It to Read Your Mind

   It’s AI, not your mom. Be specific.

2. Don’t Trust It Blindly

   It sounds confident… and confidently wrong some of the time.

3. Don’t Use It for Evil

   Deepfakes of your boss? Hilarious. Also: jail.

4. Don’t Forget the “Human Touch”

   Robots can’t replace your charm (yet).

5. Don’t Treat It Like a Therapist

   You’ll get advice, but also depression from a chatbot.

6. Don’t Steal with It

   Passing off AI work as your own? Shady. And obvious.

7. Don’t Share Sensitive Info.

   If you wouldn’t tell a stranger on a bus, don’t tell ChatGPT.

8. Don’t Panic About the Robot Uprising

   It’s not coming for your job… unless your job is terrible.

9. Don’t Use It Without Learning It

   Garbage prompts = garbage answers.

10. Don’t Forget Who’s in Charge

    Spoiler: It’s supposed to be you.

Final Thought

AI is like fire: powerful in the right hands, disastrous in the wrong ones. Use it wisely- and don’t forget, it’s still just a tool (for now).
