Using voice mode has allowed me to do this with abandon and for me has been quite the shift. My fav thing to do is to get AI to pretend to be diff people so I get various perspectives I might have missed
Spot on, Greg & Taylor! "AI’s superpower isn’t search – it’s conversation." AI, like humans, are not mindreaders if one gives vague/unclear input. Both need sufficient context and clarity to meet your expectations. I think one added bonus with AI is that as you have to write you what you want to say to AI, you are forced to be more concise. Bad managers, who give unclear oral tasks probably would be often unable to understand their own orally given sentences :D
Instructions and context matter a ton at the start, and at each stage of a process can advance the quality. Usually there are just a few very specific areas were a human expert can take over, if the overall process is well managed.
If I'm working with AI (usually Claude) to create an asset, I often find that somewhere between version 7 and 14 I'm ready to take it and do a more hands-on edit job before feeding it back in and prompting it for closer line editing.
Spot on. I found that the more I treat AI like I would a colleague, the better - that means feedback, guidance and asking more questions. Not just doing the work myself!
My fav sentence in this piece is this:

What a hot take! This is the best way to explain "how" to use AI while nudging away at mentoring leaders to be better managers.
