What if the AI has a better idea than I do?
Use the better idea when you understand why it is better. Ask what it changes, what supports it and what you would give up.
The highest priority is to make conscious decisions based on solid reasoning. If AI suggests a promising alternative, ask it to compare that idea with your initial plan against the aims and constraints of the project.
You can say, “I’m not convinced yet.” Ask where the added value comes from, what supports the comparison and what you would give up by changing direction. You are giving the idea something to answer for.
AI can be too ready to agree with you, and it can also keep defending a weak suggestion. Judge the reasons and evidence it gives you. Change the plan when you understand why the alternative is worth choosing.
