- 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.
