AI Co-Creative Research: Methodology & Integrity

This project documents a methodology for responsible AI-assisted research, focusing on the preservation of human judgment, accountability, and logical integrity. Rather than treating large language models as sources of answers, this work frames AI as a cognitive mirror and amplifier within a human-directed research process. The project introduces the Micro-Milestone Method, emphasizing incremental validation, explicit responsibility assignment, and resistance to hallucination and curve fitting in AI-co-creative work.
