Definition
The core collaborative habit of the "Liminal Mind Meld." Instead of
"One-Shot Prompting" (asking once and accepting the result), the
practitioner treats the output as a draft in an ongoing conversation.
Through successive rounds of critique, adjustment, and expansion, the
human and AI sharpen the idea together. This loop is where the cognitive
offloading happens.
The Dialogue of Craft
Novices treat the AI as a vending machine. Experts treat it as a
studio partner. The magic is not in the prompt; it is in the
conversation after the prompt.
Field Notes & Ephemera
Field Note: "Make it better" is a bad instruction.
"Make the tone more somber and cut the second paragraph" is a
collaboration.
