## Caption

AI is useful. I use it all the time.

But sometimes it’s worth checking: am I using AI because it helps me think better… or because I don’t want to think?

One small thing you can try: before asking AI, spend 30 seconds coming up with your own answer. Then use AI to challenge it, improve it, or show you what you missed.

That way, AI becomes a second brain to bounce ideas off—not the brain doing everything for you.

Take the challenge and see where you land.
