• AI’s strength is compression: large→small
  • Generation (small→large) is the weaker direction
  • Query your accumulated knowledge instead of asking AI to create from scratch
  • The value comes from pattern-finding across material you couldn’t read yourself

“No human could read all of this in a lifetime. AI consumes it in seconds.”


This reframes how to use AI well. Stop asking it to write for you. Start asking it to read for you.
