What is your level of AI proficiency ?
We are looking to see how our community uses AI in everyday tasks. This is not only related to content creation on hive but to your work and your behavior in everyday life. We have here established 7 categories and we would like you to rate which category fits your proficiency with Ai best. Feel free to complete your answer with remarks and precisions.
Which of these best describes your current technical proficiency with AI-assisted tools?
| Level | Persona | "I can..." |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Purist | I avoid AI entirely and don't intend to use it anytime soon |
| 2 | The Observer | I've heard about AI and seen others use it, but I haven't really typed anything into a prompt yet |
| 3 | The Explorer | I use AI like a search engine. I ask it basic questions or use it for simple tasks like 'Summarize this' or 'Write an email to my boss. |
| 4 | The Pilot | I know how to 'talk' to the AI. I use techniques like indirect prompting or Role-Prompting (e.g., 'Act as a marketing expert...') to get much better results. |
| 5 | The Architect | I design structured environments. I use Custom Instructions, Projects, or Knowledge Files so the AI always operates within my specific logic. |
| 6 | The Operator | I deploy Autonomous Agents. I set a goal and let the AI perform multi-step tasks, browse the web, or use tools on its own |
| 7 | The Engineer | I work with Code & APIs. I write scripts, fine-tune models, or build my own software that integrates AI logic from the ground up. |

I’m in the pilot level. 👩✈️

It's nice to see your progress! Well done!
What a superb mission! Those categories must have taken ages to develop. Except help with that kind of stuff is so much easier today (😉).
I'm an Explorer on the Pilot cusp with plans for a new semi-retired Architect project. And loving it. 😍
I tend to get some help for such categorisations ;-). Nice to see you working on that project.
I feel like I am 3.5, in between 3 and 4. Lots of room for improvement. Hehe!
Once you go over level 3, it's a fast progression towards level 4 I believe.
I guess this is my level:
It took me quite some time to understand the gif lol
I think I’d be somewhere between a 4 and a 5. I started out using AI just to clear up doubts and ask questions, but now I’m using it more for structures, programs, apps, and things like that—more complex and better ones.
Nice to see that you start to building stuff with Ai!
A lot of great things are happening
3 only use it for graphics that i can't make with my camera
Cool, thanks for sharing!
I think I'm somewhere on stage between explorer and pilot
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Well I evolved quite fast, I was just a explorer using it to talk and discuss about questions in life in general, including searching products for multiple parts of my life and now I am a code and api adict lol
Nice, are you vibe coding mainly ?
Yeah mostly using for that nowadays!
I'm just a beginner, somewhere around level 3 or 4. I use it for music, and quite a bit for generating images I need. Lately, I've been trying to make some short videos from my photos, and I've also tweaked the code for some of my websites, but nothing too serious yet. But I think AI projects need more people to collaborate on them, not just individuals, because everyone has a slightly different approach.
It's interesting to see how you discover different facets of AI.
Mostly an explorer, on the way to becoming a pilot 😊
Nice, slowly but surely towards the next step!
I'm at level 4 but also upload files that show what I want sometimes, or refer it back to previous conversations or instructions - not quite the full level 5 though.

Passing from level 4 to 5 has been the toughest progress for me.
I would say that I am at level 3 (Explorer).
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Between the observer and explorer.
Nice to see that you are taking the first steps!
Always learning, for example there was a "Learn Mode" in AI I didn't know about.
Probably somewhere in between level 4 & 5, or rather, dipping my toes into level 5. I'm really loving AI as a tool.
Once I discovered level 5,I realised that there was a lot to learn until managing it...
Did you let AI prepare the levels table? !LOLZ
At work, I am somewhere between 5 and 6.
At home, I am 4.
Why the difference? Because of ethics/honesty which should be a higher priority at home. And because of fees, naturally.
To be honest, three days ago I started using AI, with specific prompts, and use output/results for my @actifit reports.
These posts are piece of sh...anyways so no harm there. It's just that I need them as a proof for #poprzeczka challenge.

And now the same answer, improved by Perplexity. It didn't change much, actually.
I had some help lol

BEER.I see myself more at level five, trying to reach level six.
Nice, that's where I see myself as well. It still feels a different thing to let AI rewrite my files and create stuff by itself...
I'm number 3 and 7. I'm a Dinoussaro with AI. I use it to polish texts or emails, or to ask questions and get advice. But I also use it to generate code that helps me with my studies.
Interesting. For me I think it's easier to get good results at level 7 after going through level 5 first but there are no rules :-)
I think my current level would be 4, the driver's.
I am comfortable interacting with AI tools, using more elaborate and specific indications to obtain quality results.

Cool, thanks for sharing!
I am just at a lowly level 3. :)
That's the first step :-)
Interesting mission for this week I'm loving being an explorer,and equally a bit of a pilot, especially when I have an idea but find it a little bit difficult to convey it by writing, I'll just share it on voice. 😂
Cool thanks for sharing!
