In the past, I often saw many people sharing their frameworks online, but between their frameworks and my actual application, I still had to think about how to combine my own experience with these frameworks. So there was bound to be a process of adjustment and the experience I had to think about.
For example, with a framework like PARA, I have to try it myself and realize that it might not be suitable for me before switching to another framework.
It suddenly occurred to me that, given the current prevalence of AI, more and more people are directly sharing their skills and workflows. Of course, I think these people are amazing, willing to selflessly provide this information. But this also makes me wonder: when we directly apply these ready-made frameworks, doesn't the friction between us and the framework decrease significantly?
In the past, we still needed to work things out to some extent because the frameworks written in books or online might not be very specific and could not be directly integrated with our workflow.
But suppose we directly use the skills and AI frameworks provided by others, combine them with what we need to do, and directly use their thinking patterns and frameworks to transform our work structure.
If it's easy to use, then of course there's no problem. However, if this person's framework isn't really suitable for me, and I blindly apply it, wouldn't there be some blind spots that I haven't noticed?
Because when people are creating a product or workflow, they will inevitably start from their own values and past experiences.
For example, when I do project management, my approach is different from others. Part of it is my personal trait. I don't like to follow tasks, so I don't necessarily plan any project in great detail. I tend to do the minimum feasible and quickest way to achieve the goal.
So, if I share my skill, wouldn't it potentially pose a risk to those currently using it, especially those who need to manage their affairs with finesse?
This also makes me think that when we use other people's skills or frameworks, we still need to seriously consider whether they are relevant to us.
This is something I've been thinking about lately, and it's quite interesting. I really feel that in the age of AI, our own thinking abilities must also improve in tandem, so that we don't get led astray by AI or even by other people's frameworks.
