# AI Sweet Spot

## Definition

A task where generation is hard but verification is cheap. T >> 1. You can review 50 AI outputs in the time it takes to manually produce one. This is the P vs NP intuition applied to operations.

## Why this term exists

Look for tasks where the gap between doing and checking is widest. That is where the leverage lives.
