AI as a Thinking Mirror

Why This Practice Exists
AI is increasingly capable of generating polished answers. The risk is subtle: when we ask AI to produce thinking for us, our own thinking can quietly step back.
This practice helps you experience the difference between outsourcing thinking and amplifying thinking.
How to Begin
Choose a question or idea you are currently thinking about.
Not something purely informational — something you are still forming an opinion about.
Practice Prompt
Instead of asking AI to produce an answer, ask it one of these:
Help me challenge my assumptions about this.
Ask me better questions about this topic.
Show me patterns in how I’m thinking about this.
Notice what happens to your own thinking as you respond.
Gentle Close
The goal is not to get a perfect answer.
The goal is to stay present in the thinking.
