## Two AI Tabs. Two Humans. Zero Original Sentences.

**Your Claude Is Talking to My Claude. We’re Just the Middleware Now.**

**When AI starts talking through us, who is really thinking?**

Every team has one of these meetings now.

Priya asks a question. Marcus says ** “let me check something”** and goes quiet, not thinking,

**reading.** He copies something from a browser tab and pastes it into the chat.

Priya reads it. Frowns slightly. Opens her own tab, types something in, waits a few seconds, and pastes back a completely different answer.

*One she didn’t write either.*

Four minutes in. Two people in the room. Neither one has said an original sentence yet.

Two conversations are happening. Only one of them involves the humans actually in it.

## Let’s Name What’s Actually Happening

You are not talking to your colleague. **You are forwarding packets.**

Your Claude has an opinion. Their Claude has an opinion. You two are the physical layer — the humans doing the copy-pasting between two systems quietly doing most of the actual thinking.
