(AI)Human = Bn
- AI
- —Artificial intelligence: the eighty; analysis, processing and prototyping
- H
- —Human: the two tens; your instinct and context before, your judgement and name after

Artificial intelligence, raised to the power of the human, produces building at scale that is defined by being authentic and creative.
| Authentic (rows) by Creative (columns) | Low cCreative | High cCreative |
|---|---|---|
| High aAuthentic | Built, but ordinary | Bⁿ |
| Low aAuthentic | Slop | Clever, but AI's |
Bⁿ is the top-right corner. a and c decide the n.
Five tests for the last ten
- 01(c)
Specific. It names things: a company, a number, a date, a person, a place. Nothing that could be true of anyone in the category.
- 02(c)
Clean. The tells are gone: the default vocabulary, the triads, the “not A but B” reversals, the sentence that restates the one before it, the closing aphorism.
- 03(a)
Verified. Every claim traces to a source you have read, not a summary of one.
- 04(a)
Voiced. A reader who knows you would know it was you. Tested by a reader, not felt by you.
- 05(a)
Signed. One line: what AI did, what you did. If you would not sign it, it is not finished.
The tells
- Vocabulary
- delve, landscape, leverage, robust, seamless, navigate, unlock, elevate, underscore, showcase, tapestry, journey, testament.
- Openers
- in today's, it is important to note, crucially, ultimately, at its core, in essence.
- Structures
- three near-synonyms in a row; “not X but Y” more than once in a passage; a rhetorical question answered in the next sentence; a paragraph that ends by summarising itself; a heading restated as the first sentence beneath it.
- Registers
- a text describing its own structure; reassurance and caveats; encouragement.
The provenance line
One sentence where the work is published: “Drafted with [tool]; directed, verified and edited by [name].” Decide it before publishing, not after.
