THE #HOWNOTTOUSEAI CHALLENGE

WEEK 2 · THE SOVEREIGN EAR—Receive before you transmit.

Because you rested, something has surfaced. Today you name it — and write the second section of theCode of Useyou finish on Day 30.

Week 1 gave you boundaries aboutwhat you hand over.This week gives you boundaries abouthow you ask.Both go in the same document.

Today’s session:

The exact phrase that stopped you.The words the Brief Builder flagged are your command habit, named — and it will turn up again next week if you don’t write it down.
The gap between what you predicted and what came back.One of those was a finding. The other was a mirror.
Naming the thing that has no word yet.If it already had one, somebody else would have found it first.
Three commitments about how you ask questions from now on— straight into the Code.

You walk out withone sentence nobody handed you, and a section of a Code of Use document that will still be true in five years.
