Personally, I believe the key is collaboration: using AI to manage repetitive or data-heavy tasks, while humans focus on creative and strategic thinking. This combination can lead to innovations that are both effective and meaningful.
How do you see this balance working in your own experiences or projects? 🤔

I agree @bilalasif. AI is a great way to speed up research intensive tasks to build hypotheses. The key is to keep a human in the loop and avoid mistakes. Hallucinations are real and when spotted externally, can be very embarrassing.
Exactly! Using AI for repetitive tasks frees up time for creative thinking and innovation. It’s all about using the tools effectively
In my work, AI takes care of the data-heavy parts, while I focus on creative solutions and strategy. It’s a balanced approach
I use AI heavily for creative inspiration. I don't like the current capabilities of AI for fully creating things, however to give me a wide range of ideas is great. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with my thinking and can't see beyond my own thoughts, AI is that wealth of ideas that is not bound by my experience of limited thinking.
I totally agree with you. Using AI for the repetitive stuff while humans focus on creativity and strategy can lead to really great innovations. It’s a key idea that many of us need to understand in this AI era.
I think the key is balancing machine learning capabilities with human intuition & creativity. AI is great for speeding up research, analyzing data, generating initial ideas/prototypes. But humans are still needed to provide strategic direction, validate outputs, spot issues, and add the creative spark. Symbiotic human-AI collaboration leveraging the strengths of both is the sweet spot for product innovation. Tools like GPT-4/Claude can help a lot but shouldn't fully replace people in the process.
