On Working with Wizards
9.12.2025. In this most recent post, Ethan Mollick compares GPT-5 Pro (note the paid version) to a wizard, and then proceeds to point out the challenges of working with AI tools that are so "magical." A quote to pull you in: "So what do we do with our wizards? I think we need to develop a new literacy: First, learn when to summon the wizard versus when to work with AI as a co-intelligence or to not use AI at all. AI is far from perfect, and in areas where it still falls short, humans often succeed. But for the increasing number of tasks where AI is useful, co-intelligence, and the back-and-forth it requires, is often superior to a machine alone."
