The 'one good tool' rule for AI beginners

The Deep Dive by Jake Shinto

Episode notes

Episode summary: The people getting the most from AI aren't using the most tools. They're using one or two really well. Today we talk about what that looks like, and introduce the concept of Original Intelligence.

In this episode:

  • What "Original Intelligence" means and why it matters more than ever
  • Why one reliable tool beats ten flashy ones
  • How to build a genuine AI habit vs. just experimenting endlessly
  • The 10% improvement challenge for this week
  • Why your judgment is the real asset, not the tool

Your homework this week: Pick one AI task you already do. This week, try to do it with 10% more intention, better prompt, better review, better judgment on what to keep. That's the whole exercise.
