AI as a tool versus a coworker
One user draws a distinction based on how well AI handles a task, favoring a coworker approach for work it is only “merely good at.”
TLDR
For tasks AI is “extremely good at,” one user says they can treat it as a tool or prosthesis—almost an extension of themselves. When AI is only “merely good at” something, they favor treating it as a coworker: continually trying to understand its psychology and checking in on its understanding of their shared project.
