A former colleague of mine posted on LinkedIn that he sent 25000 prompts to AI 2025 to help him learn whether AI can help design complex ICs.
Spoiler alert: Yes, of course.
I estimate I’ve probably sent double or triple that many prompts over the 2.5 years I’ve been seriously using these tools. I’ve used it for everything from implementing complex (and simple) software, marketing content creation, startup business advisory, writing, and designing new landscaping and home improvement projects.
However, it’s not just about having the tools. Just like owning a professional lathe or knife doesn’t automatically make you a good cabinet-maker or chef.
It’s how you use those tools. The time you’ve put in. The environment you’ve built. What to use when. When to use what. Noticing the flaws. Thinking about how to apply the tool and what you get out of the tool. Big picture stuff and the details.
It’s still you.
