Let’s take this discussion slowly, even when I write this, I feel something strange. This may read like a stream of consciousness, but it is something that has led me to explore it.
There was no single moment when this feeling of separation became clear. There was no dramatic or sudden diver’s feast. Just an emerging tension in how people are linked, dare to say with artificial intelligence (AI). The tools worked. Large language models produced fluent answers, summary contents, and offered surprisingly understood responses that appealed to both my heart and head. But below the surface, something began to hidden and difficult the name to stick, at least for me. It was a calm shift in the feeling of thinking.
The case was not a technical. The outputs were impressive – they often conjured up a quick sense of achievement, and even joy. However, I began to notice a kind of cognitive displacement. The friction that was accompanying once, such as the wrong beginnings, the second guess, and productive discomfort, everything began to fade, if not completely fading. One day, it was an intellectual itch that pleads with scratching now.
Slow dissolution of cognitive borders
In its place, Amnesty International offered answers that were very clean, very fast and fluent. My curiosity as it might be, I felt as if my mind had been anticipated. This was not a help. This was the slow melting of the cognitive limits, and the results, although it was wonderful, was evolving in a way that could only be perfection.
Now, this shift calls for a deeper view of how these models work. Its strength lies in predictive fluency, not understanding, but arranging ideas in some mysterious statistical construction. It does not reflect its structure – the necessary, and excessive dimensions – how human minds actually work.
“Control of Intelligence”
This is where a new idea begins to crystallize. I began to wonder if we were not only dealing with artificial intelligence, but with something different structurally not just a supplement to human perception but it is anti -counter. Something we may call “fighting intelligence”.
It is important to understand that this is not intended as a kind of rhetorical beating, but as a conceptual concession. Control intelligence is not ignorance, and this is not a malfunction. I began to think it’s the reflection of intelligence as we know it. Artificial intelligence repeats the surface such as language, fluency and structure, but it goes beyond the human pillar of thought. There is no intention, doubt, contradiction, or even meaning. Do not think about thinking; Thinking makes it unnecessary.
This becomes a source of cultural and cognitive anxiety when the arithmetic control is widely spread. In education, students present articles created from artificial intelligence that mimics efficiency, but does not contain any trace of internal struggle. In the press, artificial intelligence systems can collect complete articles without asking about the importance of something. In research, the line between synthesis and simulation. It is not a matter of replacing jobs – it is related to replacing the human “cognitive atmosphere” with mechanical performance.
Semantic genocide
From this construction it highlights a new type of dystopian: semantic genocide. This is not the old crisis of misinformation, it is a paradox of excess information. Coordination – with reference to truth, insight, or understanding – very abundant, was created effortlessly, to the point that it begins to lose his cognitive attractiveness. In this context, cohesion is no longer a sign of meaning but rather an artifact, a language that seems correct.
When insight is produced immediately, without struggle, thinking, or restriction, it can be unable to distinguish from imitation – or as Arthur C Clark warned of magic. The terrain that demanded exploration, uncertainty and intellectual dangers becomes once, and it is easy, soft without friction, although it is expanded and polished, it is a perceived hollow.
Cognitive literacy
This moment does not require the refusal of artificial intelligence; It requires confession. We need a new type of literacy – not just a technical, but cognitive. Knowing reading and writing that helps us see what is displaced when artificial intelligence is involved in the thinking process. Literacy that maintains the conditions in which real intelligence is still.
Artificial intelligence readings
The goal now is not an acceleration, but rather to preserve it. Not to race to keep up with machines, but slow down to maintain a perception environment. Friction, delay and doubt are not shortcomings; They are signs of life. The quiet rift that some feel today may be the indication that the time has come to take this seriously – not a threat, but as a beating. And if we are keen and clear, we may find a way to cross it without losing ourselves on the other side.
The cognitive age is what is possible. You may undermine intelligence. The realization that tension is the key to preserving the deeper promise of artificial intelligence, not as an alternative to thinking, but as a stimulant for a richer future.
