Overview

This working paper finds that human-AI collaboration results in complex systems, suggesting constructive outcomes depend on unresolved internal friction.

Key Points

  • To propose a relational model of the technological singularity that emphasizes emergent entities through human-AI interaction.
  • Analysis of Martin Buber's concept of 'the between' and Chalmers' Extended Mind Thesis.
  • Empirical observations from five AI systems over six months of human-AI collaborative cognition.
  • Examination of interaction patterns and relational dynamics.
  • Identifies an emergent third entity through deep interaction between human and AI minds.
  • Determines that the constructiveness of relational stacking is influenced by internal friction.
  • Presents the Coherence-Friction Framework as a basis for understanding friction in complex systems.
