The lesson

Good starting tasks include drafting, rewriting, explaining and brainstorming.

AI can help prepare questions without making the final decision.

A useful answer should reduce work or open access, not create more checking than it saves.

Choose one small task you would otherwise postpone. Ask for a first draft, plan or explanation, then edit the result yourself.

You have a usable result and can say what work remained yours.
