A mature AI user knows when not to use AI. The most common failure is not technical. It is judgment failure: using AI for a task that should have stayed with a human expert or an approved process.
Even when AI is not the final decision-maker, it may still be useful for drafts, checklists, brainstorming, or summarizing source material. The key is to keep the decision itself where it belongs.
If the task is high-impact, ambiguous, or outside your expertise, escalate to the right person. AI should lower the cost of preparing for expert review, not replace it.
