At this point, that is like saying you use Excel. The real advantage is not access to the tool and using it like a google search.
It is context and judgment.
AI can produce:
A polished answer that is strategically wrong.
A beautiful model built on bad assumptions.
A ten-point action plan when the real issue is that no one wants to make a hard decision.
The barrier to producing analysis, ideas, summaries, and strategy is collapsing. That is powerful and exciting for internal progress.
It also means intelligence and strategy are becoming a commodity. Judgment is not.
Knowing what problem actually matters.
Knowing what context is missing.
Knowing when the output is useful and when it is just well-formatted nonsense.
Knowing how to turn insight into a real decision, process, or outcome.
That is where the value moves. AI will reward people who can direct it.
