Copy-ready prompt
Decide the right role for AI in this task. The options are: do, prepare, challenge, observe, or stay out.
TASK: {{TASK}}
WHO IS AFFECTED: {{PEOPLE}}
INPUTS AND SENSITIVITY: {{INPUTS}}
ERROR CONSEQUENCE: {{CONSEQUENCE}}
REVERSIBILITY: {{REVERSIBILITY}}
HUMAN EXPERTISE OR TRUST INVOLVED: {{HUMAN_VALUE}}
AVAILABLE REVIEW TIME: {{REVIEW_TIME}}
Assess ambiguity, context depth, verification cost, privacy, authority, relationship impact, and whether automation removes learning reps. Recommend one AI role and define the human role explicitly.
Return a responsibility map: AI may, AI must not, human must decide, evidence required, and stop conditions. Include a smallest safe trial using synthetic or reversible inputs. Name the seductive wrong choice and why it would create hidden work or trust damage. If review would cost more than doing the task, say so.
