Protecting your ability to think does not require avoiding artificial intelligence. Used deliberately, AI can become one of the most useful tools available for research, learning, creativity, and productivity.

In When You Should Use AI: The Smart and Honest Case, TJ Walker explains when reaching for the machine is the right decision. Use AI for administrative work that does not develop a valuable skill, after you have formed your own position, when assistance helps you begin something you would otherwise avoid, or when you need a tutor to explain a difficult concept.

The essential rule is order: think first, then use AI to expand, test, organize, or improve your work.
