The Most Underrated Mindset Shift AI Has Sparked-its how we think about progress

I feel one of the most powerful changes AI has brought into our lives isn’t just about automation or speed—it’s how we think about progress.

Before AI became mainstream, we mostly expected software to work 100% of the time. If it didn’t, it was broken. But AI isn’t deterministic. It’s conversational, contextual, and, most importantly, iterative.

Now, more people are willing to try—even when they know the first attempt might not be perfect. We’re okay with rough drafts. We know how to refine. We’re getting better at asking sharper, more contextual questions. We’re learning to co-create.

This shift—from expecting perfection to embracing progress through iteration—is quietly transforming how we work, create, and think.

AI has made us better drivers of our own ideas. And that’s a big deal.
