What AI Is Good (and Bad) At

8 min 100 XP

AI is exceptional at: language, pattern, synthesis

Writing, summarising, explaining, translating, brainstorming, structuring information, generating ideas, coding drafts, image creation. These are AI's strong zones.

AI struggles with: facts, numbers, recent events

Precise calculations, real-time information, very recent events, and anything requiring verified facts. These require you to check. AI can be confidently wrong.

The question to always ask

Before using AI for anything, ask: 'Does this task require creativity and synthesis, or does it require verified accuracy?' The answer tells you how much to trust the output.
