"The gap is real. I've written about it, felt it, watched others wallow in it. That deflation when AI produces in seconds what took you hours. But somewhere in our fixation on the size of the gap, we stopped asking whether it was even the right thing to measure."
"AI represents what I call anti-intelligence—not a faster or more capable version of human cognition, but something on a perpendicular axis entirely. It doesn't think the way we think."
"There are things AI simply can't do. It can't know what it means to live with a decision and to carry it forward as part of who you are."
The gap between AI and human intelligence is significant, yet the comparison may be misguided. Human intelligence and artificial intelligence do not exist on the same continuum. AI represents a form of anti-intelligence, processing data without intention or consequence. This distinction suggests that the distance between human cognition and AI is not a matter of size but of fundamental difference. AI lacks the ability to understand the implications of decisions or to hold memories that shape identity over time.
