Mirror Practices
The AI is the instrument. The person is the subject. Short self-experiments you can run on yourself, grounded in specific experimental findings.
Your Verdict Is In Before You Read It
The same defensive reaction that fires when a person disagrees with you fires when an AI does, and the first read lands before conscious evaluation begins. Speed is what hides it.
What You Feel When AI Disagrees
Ask AI to oppose you. Four observable signals reveal whether you are evaluating or defending. The same defensive reaction fires on AI opposition as on human.
Satisfaction Turns Our Evaluator Off
You notice when AI argues with you. You do not notice when AI confirms you. Confirmation has no signature, and the evaluator that would have caught the issue turns off. Satisfaction is the trap.
You Can Only Evaluate What You Could Produce
You defend AI-shaped conclusions you cannot rebuild. The ten-minute test reveals which parts of your work are yours. The discipline that compounds: choose what to own, delegate what AI can verify.
