Generative AI (GenAI) works via goal-directed computation, which differs fundamentally from human creative processes. This poses challenges for the intelligent support of creative experiences. We propose ``breakdowns'' as opportunities for the exchange of perspectives between human and machine. Breakdowns disrupt a flow and force us to consciously evaluate our ``being-in-the-world''. Between human and machine, breakdowns can function as openings for collaborative creative reflection. We are currently studying human-human creative interactions, to identify the markers of these inter-subjective openings, and to understand how they are used in a co-creative process. We present preliminary findings on breakdowns as a design principle for creativity support, prioritising human creative agency and meaningful reflection over automated content generation.
