Developing Critical Thinking

Hi monkeys, I’m currently a student at a non-target and have been struggling with thinking critically in this day and age due to the constant use of AI. I’ve realized that most of the times I’m just completing tasks without doing much thinking into them.

Does anyone have suggestions or tips to start thinking for myself and develop critical thinking skills? I want to develop these skills before entering into banking and if you have any suggestions that could help me think specifically for that role, it would help a lot.
