Ever noticed AI hand you a shorter plan and offer to file the rest as a follow-up?

My co-host Erin Wiggers explained why, and whose job it is to push back.

"I think it would definitely default to a smaller number of steps just because it is more confident about what those steps are. And so in order for it to be more thorough, that's the human's job."

"That's your job is to help it see the nuance and what else goes into it."

When the plan feels thin, you're the one who knows what's missing.
