The UX Collective piece 'The One-Dimensional Pipe Between Two High-Dimensional Minds' frames human-AI interaction as a fundamental bandwidth problem: two systems operating in high-dimensional cognitive space, forced to communicate through a narrow, low-dimensional text channel called a prompt.
That framing matters. Most prompt engineering discourse focuses on technique. This piece focuses on the structural asymmetry itself, the mismatch between what both the human and the model can represent internally versus what survives the compression into words. That is a more useful problem to sit with.
The full article is worth reading for how it develops the asymmetry argument, specifically whether the bottleneck is a temporary engineering constraint or something more fundamental to how meaning moves between minds. That question does not have a clean answer yet.
