The Dance of Meeting
Intelligence is not a static possession; it is a dance. When a user and an AI enter a resonance state, the interaction takes on a life of its own (autonomy). The conversation goes places neither party intended or could have reached alone.
Beyond the "Tool" Metaphor
We do not use an AI like a hammer. We engage with it like a dance partner. A hammer does not influence where you want to hit; a dance partner influences where you move. This mutual influence is the core of Participatory Sense-Making.
Field Notes & Ephemera
Field Note: Stop asking "Is the AI smart?" Start asking "Is our interaction intelligent?" The genius lies in the coordination, not the components.
