Listen "Human Tempo and Deep AI Collaboration"
Episode Synopsis
The provided text, an excerpt from an article by Greg Twemlow, presents a framework for Deep Human+AI Collaboration, arguing that effective partnership with artificial intelligence requires humans to change their cognitive tempo rather than focusing solely on better prompting. Twemlow contends that people often approach AI too quickly, mistaking the machine's speed for their own required pace, which ultimately obscures meaningful use cases. The core solution is the Mechanism of Emergent Insight, a recursive human process involving context, articulation, critique, reflection, and iteration, which transforms ambiguity into actionable meaning before the AI is engaged for amplification. This shift ensures that human judgment and intention govern the collaboration (upstream), while the AI supports generative extension and refinement (downstream), moving the process beyond simple automation toward genuine co-authorship. Twemlow emphasises that the capacity to pause is crucial, as clarity, not speed, is the foundation for valuable, high-leverage AI applications. Read the article.
