Most people are using AI wrong—and it’s capping what they can do

1 is a fluke. 2 is a coincidence. 3 is a pattern. Lately I’ve been noticing something. The problems I’m solving are getting complex… while the time it takes to solve them is getting shorter. At first I thought I just got lucky. Then it happened again. Now it’s consistent. Here’s what changed: Most people treat AI like a tool - something to prompt, extract from, and move on. That approach works… up to a point. But it also creates a ceiling. The output feels shallow, disconnected, or incomplete. I started approaching it differently.
