AI can write code. It can’t read your mind. If you’re fuzzy on the problem, the AI just produces a polished version of your confusion. I’ve seen this trip up a lot of people who are otherwise great with AI tools. submitted by /u/TamilFella

This is spot on. I work on a project mapping public opinion where AI ranks and synthesizes human responses. The same pattern: AI amplifies whatever clarity you bring to it. Fuzzy input just gets a fancy coat of paint.
What I find interesting is that “problem clarity” isn’t really a technical skill—it’s the practice of actually listening to people. You can have the most sophisticated AI tool, but if you haven’t sat down and heard what someone is struggling with, you are just automating your own blind spots.
