How to Collaborate with AI, Not Just Use It (feat. BM)

Lately I've been making several pieces of software through AI.

Various media outlets are also showing AI-leveraged businesses one by one, and they are projected to grow further.
And then a thought suddenly came to me: should I treat AI as a smart tool, or as an agent?

Personally, I came to think it's more sensible to treat AI not as a giant, more convenient, more perfect, new individual tool (application), but as a partner who collaborates with me in the process of making a new tool.

For example, just because someone (a teammate) is better at speaking (communication) than I am, I don't keep them by my side all the time. Conversely, it felt more sensible to save their phone number or add them as a friend on KakaoTalk so we can talk to each other.
