SHOULD I USE AI FOR THIS TASK? Nolan Kido | https://nolankido.com/technology/should-i-use-ai/ A private-use planning worksheet, not a validated assessment or permission to act. Do not put sensitive information in this blank outline. Keep completed copies private. Task and useful finished result: Simpler method to compare: Inputs I am allowed to use in the chosen tool, and how I checked: What could go wrong, who could be affected, and how to undo it: Independent check and person responsible for it: AI may prepare: AI may not send, publish, spend, delete, or commit: My smallest reversible trial, if appropriate: Stop condition: What I will count: preparation, production, review, repair and upkeep. My decision: pause / prepare first / use the simpler method / try a bounded draft. Reason and date: Review order: permissions and consequences first; checking and purpose next; a simpler alternative before a trial. Every unresolved caution still matters. No result certifies safety, correctness, savings, or approval from another person.
