Has AI become inefficient? And how can we use it better and effectively (for both parties)?

I’m increasingly noticing a trend: people use AI for (almost everything), especially for writing texts. – it is nothing new, but it started to be annoying (?)The problem is that AI often:– fully or largely replicates existing text without adding anything new– adds completely pointless things, like a two-line comment followed by “✨✨✨✨🚀”– writes extremely long comments that no one will actually readThe last point might be the most problematic, because:it either wastes the reader’s timeor the reader simply ignores it, since they won’t search through 30 lines to find a point that could’ve been said in 2 sentencesHow do you use AI in a way that the other side still perceives the output as efficient?[My advice: keep it to a maximum of 4 sentences. Anything more just increases the chance that the other person will start to hate you.] 😃

What’s your mental framework for deciding the first step in a new project?

I ve been thinking a lot about how chaotic the first phase of any project is especially for early-stage founders.

You get the idea, you get excited and then you freeze.

Do you validate?
Do you sketch out a landing page?
Do you research competitors?
Or just build something to get feedback?

Personally, I ve been experimenting with different ways to make that early direction clearer I ve journaled, built mini systems, even started working on a validation tool with a few people to help test ideas faster.
