Kyle Balmer argues that getting better at AI isn't about taking courses. It's about building one habit: asking "can AI do that?" and testing it immediately. Make AI your first instinct when you hit a problem.

How can you get better at using AI? This is probably one of the best answers I've seen. Basically, it's a behavioral change in us. Ethan is saying a good instinct to cultivate is to ask yourself, can AI do that? Whenever you encounter a problem and then just try it? It takes about a second or two to put in a query and see if it works. It just takes a bit of time to turn this into a habit where if you encounter a problem instead of trying to work your way through it yourself, you might think, let's see if ChatGPT can do it. And yeah, sometimes it will be able to do it, sometimes it will not, sometimes it will need extra work to get you there. But the more you get into the habit of trying it out and seeing what works and what doesn't, the better your instinct of what AI can help you with becomes. This advice, more than any fancy training course, is going to get you better results. Making AI the first port of call when you have a problem or a query is how you're going to learn best how to use it.
