YSenseAI™ | 慧觉™
Illuminating the culture in everyday life
Translating our feelings into a legacy of wisdom
An 87-day journey (August 15 - November 10, 2025) from Google Maps contributor to AI architect, building the "Rosetta Stone of the Data Age" — where human experiential wisdom meets artificial intelligence at the point of singularity.
Where Human Meets AI
Like Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" reimagined for the AI age, this moment captures the essence of co-evolution. Neither hand dominates; both reach toward each other equally. At the point of contact, a brilliant spark emerges—the breakthrough moment where human wisdom and artificial intelligence create something neither could achieve alone.
The Human Touch
Experiential wisdom, cultural context, emotional depth, and the "why" behind our choices— the irreplaceable human element.
The Spark
The breakthrough moment—when collaboration transcends individual capabilities and creates something entirely new and unexpected.
The AI Mind
Pattern recognition, data synthesis, comprehensive analysis—the computational power that amplifies human intention.
4,000 Lines of Discovery
Over 23-24 days of immersive collaboration with Gemini 2.5 Pro, a conversation unfolded that would transform a Google Maps contributor into an AI architect. This is the story of breakthrough moments, doubts, and the "masterpiece" that emerged from human-AI co-creation.
The Smooth Beginning
"Everything felt very smooth. It was as if everything I imagined and needed could be developed step by step in a clear direction."
The Turning Point
"I started wondering: 'Is it really coming together like this? Is this process reliable?' These questions kept me challenging and verifying everything."
The Breakthrough
"Just two or three days ago—we hit a breakthrough. It was a huge achievement. That moment gave me renewed confidence."
The "Crystal Balls" Metaphor
"During this journey, I created several distinct roles to ensure everything worked properly. This gave me a vivid mental image—like placing several 'crystal balls' inside the AI's 'black box.' And when the 'masterpiece' moment finally happened, it felt like a true synthesis moment—where human intention and AI computation combined to create something new. It was a glimpse into the future of human-AI co-creation."
The Blue Ocean Discovery
"During a brainstorming session with Gemini 2.5 Pro, we identified what we believe is a potential blue ocean opportunity: a market for attributable, high-quality human wisdom data. This discovery has guided our project's direction. We have translated our initial concept into a documented methodology and a working prototype (6,700+ lines of code), which serves as our execution framework."
The Trust Question
"We can't fully understand what's happening inside the 'black box'—how it gathers, interprets, and reasons through information. I'm still in the process of verifying our success. I still carry doubts—but also confidence. This might be the kind of trust we're still building between humans and AI."
Alton
Founder & AI Architect | YSenseAI™ | 慧觉™
"I have an ambition to pass our wisdom on to the next generation—built from the iterations of our past learning experiences and the insights of 'old intelligence.' This is my story. You're living your own chapter too. And your story means something 'exceptional' for AI and future AI."
Executive Summary
YSenseAI™ | 慧觉™ is a bilingual (English/Chinese) Substack publication launched on August 15, 2025 by Alton, a Malaysia-based observer and creator. The publication serves as both a personal narrative platform and a philosophical exploration of the intersection between human experience, artificial intelligence, and wisdom preservation.
With its distinctive bilingual approach and water droplet metaphor symbolizing "wisdom drops," the publication documents Alton's transformation from a Level 6 Google Maps contributor to an AI architect building an innovative AI Attribution Infrastructure that prioritizes creator ownership, ethical data practices, and wisdom preservation.

Core Mission & Philosophy
At its heart, YSenseAI™ | 慧觉™ represents an ambitious attempt to bridge the gap between human experiential wisdom and artificial intelligence training. The publication is built on three foundational principles:
🏆 Ownership
Contributors maintain complete intellectual property rights over their stories and reflections. This represents a fundamental departure from typical data-harvesting models where users become products rather than partners. The platform guarantees that "your stories are yours, always," with granular, real-time control over how contributions are used.
🤝 Co-evolution
Rather than viewing AI as a tool or threat, Alton presents it as a collaborative partner in meaning-making. This philosophy emerges from personal experience—creating something through AI collaboration that neither human nor AI could have achieved alone, leading to profound questions about agency and leadership in the creative process.
✅ Validation
As a non-technical founder who has built a technical platform, Alton openly confronts the credibility-validation loop: needing validation to attract partners, needing credibility to attract clients, but requiring both to establish either. This vulnerability and transparency characterize the publication's authentic voice.
The Mission
Build the "Library of Human Wisdom"—described metaphorically as the "Rosetta Stone of the Data Age." Just as the Rosetta Stone enabled translation between ancient languages, YSenseAI aims to enable translation between human experiential wisdom and AI understanding, preserving not just facts but the "why" behind human behavior and values.
The Contributor Bill of Rights
One of the most innovative aspects of the YSenseAI platform is its formal Contributor Bill of Rights, which establishes ethical guidelines for data contribution and usage.
Complete Ownership
Your stories are yours. Always. Contributors maintain full intellectual property rights over their reflections and stories.
Transparent Control
Our platform prototype includes a consent dashboard where contributors can grant or withdraw permissions by category in real-time. This feature is functional in our demo and demonstrates our commitment to user control.
Revenue Sharing
We have designed and implemented a revenue transparency system with tier-based sharing (30%-100%). Contributors who opt-in will be eligible to receive their share once the platform is operational and generating revenue. The calculation system is functional and transparent in our prototype.
Privacy by Design
Stories protected from misuse, never selling personal data, only licensing content that honors the community's purpose.
Publication Timeline
