The good and the ugly

critical thinking

Most teams use AI in private. The wins stay private, the misfires definitely stay private, and nobody builds a shared picture of what AI actually does and doesn't do well. Over time that means the team's collective judgment about AI never develops. This experiment makes those interactions visible, without it becoming a debrief or a debate. Try it when AI use is common but unspoken, or when you sense people are either over-trusting or quietly embarrassed by how they use it.

Ideas before AI

creativitycritical thinking

When AI joins a brainstorm from the start, it sets the frame. People riff on what it suggests rather than where their own thinking goes. Try it when you suspect AI is quietly narrowing the range of ideas rather than expanding it.

Two minds, one prompt

collaborationcritical thinkingconnection

Most of us use AI alone, prompting from our own mental model and never seeing how colleagues approach it differently. Building a prompt together makes that thinking visible, and starts to shift AI from a solo habit into something the team shares. Try it when the team is using AI a lot but separately.

Ask AI to teach you

critical thinkingskill atrophy

When AI does the work and you just take the output, you get the answer but miss the learning. Over time that compounds quietly: AI gets more capable, your own skills plateau or drift. This experiment is about prompting differently, adding a question that forces understanding alongside the output. Try it when you notice you're using AI a lot but couldn't fully explain the work it helped you with.
