The higher your executive function the more use you will get out of LLMs. This is really the skill you should be testing for in interviews now. Not letting a candidate use AI for their interview is not a useful evaluation anymore. I want to see how you use it. Do you prompt well, how much are you trusting and verifying what it outputs

Is "executive function" the thing you mean here? You need a lot of self control to write good prompts?

It takes good self control to not go down rabbit holes writing the wrong prompts, or prompts that produce interesting or pleasing results without necessarily solving the problem you intended to solve. Sycophantic LLMs are an addiction engine, in addition to being a guess-based autocomplete for thoughts.

Executive functions just means exerting control over things. It can be self-control, but that can mean control over one's focus
