The most disrespectful thing you can do to yourself and any other person is bring your AI-generated work, be it an essay, resume, video, website, project, or anything.

This way, you are telling two things:

• I don't respect you because I deem it okay if you check my AI-generated essay (I don't respect your effort whatsoever)
• I don't respect myself for showing you AI-generated work because my own cognitive output is shamefully low.

The second most disrespectful thing you can do is to use AI on your work and lie about not using it.

I don't want to say we should avoid AI completely and go back to the primitive era. No.

What I am trying to say is simple: we are using AI for the wrong things.

Current models are smart. They can do a lot of tasks. You can automate entire campaigns, accelerate workflows, and scale things that scale. But if anything, they cannot think. And any act of thinking requires cognitive output. You don't expect original cognition from these models.

The best usage of AI is when the task doesn't involve cognitive output. For example, correcting only the grammar of your essay that YOU have written yourself. Or researching. I think AI is perfect to scale your research.

These processes are scalable because they don't require cognitive output. But thinking is not scalable. You can't go around and tell AI to accelerate your "brainstorming" session.

So, when you use AI for tasks that it is not really made for, it will give you bad results.
