Three levels of AI usage

When researching a topic, there are three levels of AI usage:

  1. Ask "what" (better Google search)
  2. Ask "why" (requires curiosity)
  3. Ask if a specific alternative could be used (requires experience)
Examples:
  1. What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore?
  2. Why would I choose a microkernel architecture over a monolithic one for this specific embedded system?
  3. I'm currently using FreeRTOS for this task, but would an Event-Driven State Machine be more power-efficient for this specific low-power MCU?
