Don't Outsource Thinking: Where AI Stops and You Start | Deep Geeks ep06

What is the one part of a job you should not hand to AI? For this data leader, it’s the thinking: https://www.weka.io/podcast/one-size-fits-none-what-retail-reveals-about-ai?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social The question is direct: What do you personally choose not to outsource? The answer draws a clean line through the data workflow. Understanding the problem, designing the solution, and troubleshooting are all thinking work, and that stays with humans. Once the problem is understood and the solution is designed, handing it to your favorite local LLM to write the code is fair game. The caveat is where it gets interesting. Even when the model produces working code, the instinct to skip the review is the thing to resist. It’s easy to see that it runs, decide it works, and push it out. Reading through the output, understanding what it actually does, and learning anything unfamiliar along the way is how the skill stays sharp. Losing the ability to reason logically through a problem is the real risk, and no volume of generated code makes up for it.
