Despite this emphasis on speed, a less obvious yet noteworthy pattern emerges after sustained use: AI output improves when we acknowledge and reinforce the quality of its reasoning, not just its efficiency. When AI is exclusively … Continue reading Beyond the prompt: the overlooked feedback loop in human‑AI collaboration
