• Nate B. Jones advocates for a mental shift when using AI with sensitive files: instead of asking if AI is allowed, focus on what the AI actually needs to see to help, which is rarely the whole document.
• The core “trick” is to create a “smaller, stripped-down copy” of the file, containing only the useful, non-sensitive parts, and send that to the AI.
• A key principle is that “safety and convenience have to be the same path, not a trade-off,” otherwise users will either risk data leaks or revert to manual work.
