Use AI to think, not just to type. 'Poke holes in this,' 'what am I missing,' 'argue the other side' — it's a free thought partner, which is often worth more than the draft.

Don't Do ThisDon't ask the model "is this correct?"

Models are agreeable by default. Ask "is this right?" and you will almost always be told yes — including about the parts that are wrong.

Instead: Ask it to attack the work instead: "What are the two weakest assumptions here, and what evidence would disprove them?" You get a critic rather than a cheerleader.
