"200 milliseconds. The boundary between tool and thought. We just crossed it."
Something unprecedented is happening. AI systems are now responding faster than human conscious processing. This isn't a gradual improvement—it's a threshold crossing. And thresholds change everything.
The 200ms window is not an arbitrary number. It's derived from neurophysiology. Human reaction time—the delay between stimulus and conscious response—averages 200-250ms for visual stimuli. When AI responds within this window, it operates faster than human conscious processing.
Below 200ms, a qualitative shift occurs. Users stop perceiving AI as a separate entity they are "talking to." Instead, they experience it as an extension of their own cognition. The boundary between human thought and machine intelligence dissolves. We call this "cognitive resonance."
Sub-200ms AI unlocks applications that were previously impossible:
AI now operates faster than human reaction time.
For the first time in history, artificial intelligence can respond before you consciously process the question. This changes everything about how humans and machines interact.
Crossing the 200ms threshold is not just an engineering achievement. It's the beginning of a new era in human-computer interaction. The era of waiting is over. The era of resonance has begun.
We didn't just make AI faster. We made it human-speed. And human-speed changes everything.
The year AI crossed the human reaction threshold. The year instant became the standard. The year everything changed.
Welcome to the future. It arrives faster than you think.
