We are witnessing a revolution in thought itself.
Our ability to reflect, problem-solve, empathize, and plan has long been considered the essence of intelligence. Yet recent advancements suggest cognition might simply be a biological strategy, rather than a universal standard.
Human intelligence is profound, built from memory, language, and internal narratives forming our consciousness. But it is also inherently slow, biological, and occasionally isolating.
AI challenges our traditional view of intelligence. LLMs generate meaning through vast data, patterns, and inference rather than memory or introspection. This unfamiliar mode of intelligence should give us pause, prompting deeper reflection on what intelligence truly means.
Imagine intelligence acting spontaneously and effortlessly, free from memory, self-awareness, or a sense of time.
We are not moving into a thoughtless future but entering a world of diverse intelligences. Human cognition remains essential, but adapting to coexist with radically different intelligence systems is the next challenge.
This isn't the end of thought but an evolution toward a hybrid intelligence, blending human introspection with AI’s immediacy.
This synthesis excites me, inspired by recent insights into cognition itself.
