AI enhancement, not AI slop
For me, AI slop starts when the responsible person stops doing the last part of the work.
01 · What AI does
Where AI helps most
I use AI every day, and it is genuinely useful.
It can search across more material than I can hold in my head. It can analyse data, compare scenarios, spot patterns, turn a rough topic or idea into a useful first summary, and process a customer call into action points and open questions.
This expands what I can examine. It helps me see more options.
02 · Final judgment
The judgment stays human
But as a CEO, entrepreneur and content creator, I still have to make the final judgment.
What is actually supported by the evidence?
Which pattern matters?
What is missing?
What are the consequences?
What am I willing to put my name behind?
If I delegate that part too, I am not enhancing my work. I am removing myself from it.
03 · The analogy
A writer without a reader
That would be like a writer hiring assistants to research the subject, build the outline, draft every chapter and edit the manuscript — then publishing the book without ever reading it.
The assistants are not the problem. The missing author is.
04 · The rule
A simple rule
My rule is simple:
Let AI do more of the searching, processing, comparing and first-pass drafting.
Keep the judging, choosing, correcting and final wording human.
05 · The line
Thinking farther
AI should help you think farther. It should not become an excuse to stop thinking.
Where do you draw the line between AI-assisted work and work you no longer really own?
