Answer

Hi J,

Here are some ideas that will hopefully help you out -

  • Treat it like a friend or a colleague
    • Don’t expect it to be perfect and have the correct answer to every question.  Like a person, it will be wrong sometimes
  • Use it as a thought partner to augment your intelligence and brainstorm ideas
  • Use it to challenge your thinking and provide alternatives/counter-points
  • If you have knowledge in a field, ask it questions or give it tasks where you can spot and correct inaccuracies quickly and easily
    • To save time overall

Let us know how things work out
