If an intelligence explosion ever comes, it compounds on the machine’s side of the ledger. You have a ledger too, and one entry on it compounds the same way. That entry is your judgment. This drill runs one real task through a loop that improves your judgment, not just your output. Work it honestly. The uncomfortable answers are the ones that teach.
Seed
Name the task and what it proves
About 15 minutes
Pick one task you own and repeat. Not the exciting project. The recurring one AI is most likely to help with first.
One recurring task you personally own. Name it in a single line.
Finish the sentence: doing this well proves that I can…
Honest clock. How long does it take you today, without AI?
Sprout
Run it once, then interrogate it
About 20 minutes
Do the task once with AI on the real work. Then cross examine what it gave you.
One line. Good enough to ship? Be blunt.
Find one place it was fluent and incorrect. If you cannot find one, look again.
What did you notice that a beginner would have accepted? That noticing is the asset.
Grow
Build the verification habit
About 30 minutes
Turn the catch you just made into a standing check you run every time, before you trust the output.
A primary source, a rubric, a known good example, a colleague? Name the thing that is actually true.
Of the last handful of times AI helped, how often was it wrong in a way that mattered? The embarrassing number is the useful one.
Before I trust this, I confirm ___ against ___. Fill the blanks for your task.
Point the reclaimed time somewhere before it arrives. Name the better use.
Harvest
Compound it, then hand it off
About 40 minutes, plus shareable
Judgment compounds only when you name what changed and expose it to someone who will push back.
Not faster. What can you now catch, or decide, or trust, that you could not before?
A single portable rule you would give a student or colleague facing the same task.
Name the person, and write the one line of it you most want them to challenge.
