The article discusses how the rise of AI prompts a reevaluation of human cognition. The author advocates for 'BEAM' thinking, highlighting the interconnectedness of body, environment, action, and mind. This approach counters the notion of algorithmic supremacy, which reduces human thought to mere computational functions. By embracing a more holistic understanding of cognition that includes physical and external factors, individuals can leverage their unique capabilities against AI's algorithmic strengths and maintain irreplaceable value in the cognitive landscape.
The AI era gives us a unique opportunity to reimagine the very act of thinking. Our cognitive powers are drawn from many sources, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of human thought.
BEAM thinking encourages awareness of how we utilize our body and environment in our thinking processes, recognizing underutilized cognitive resources distributed throughout our bodies.
