The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.
AI Output as Wireframe, Not Final Product
Treat AI-generated content as structural foundation (wireframe) that provides layout and basic content, requiring human refinement for final quality (mockup/polish).
Decision Rule
Use AI for rapid first drafts and content structure, but always plan for human editing and refinement phase before considering work complete.
How It Works
AI excels at generating comprehensive content quickly but often lacks nuanced design judgment, brand consistency, and contextual refinement that humans provide in final stages.
Failure Modes
Using AI output directly without refinement
Expecting AI to handle complex design aesthetics
Skipping human review for important presentations or communications
Not budgeting time for post-AI editing phase
Example Decision
“When AI slides tool generates a fundraising deck, treat it as a wireframe containing all necessary content and basic structure, but plan to spend additional time in Google Slides refining design, adjusting messaging, and customizing for specific investor audience.”
