Key Insight: AI as Teammate, Not Tool

  • Using LLMs like Google Search wastes their potential
  • Use voice instead of typing for freer thinking
  • Treat AI as a team member: give feedback, coaching, ask it to question you

National Park Service Case

  • 60 rangers learned AI basics; one employee built a tool in 45 minutes
  • Result: 7,000 person-days saved annually across 430 parks

The Realization Gap

  • Only 10% achieve meaningful productivity gains from AI
  • AI as tool = creativity decreases; AI as teammate = creativity increases

Practical Tips

  • Use voice to interact with AI
  • Have AI interview you and ask questions
  • Ask AI: "How can I best use you in my work?"

Creativity in the AI Age

  • "Creativity means going beyond what first comes to mind" (7th grader's definition)
  • AI makes 'good enough' easy; real creativity is pushing further

"I don't use AI. I work with AI."
