Is Human Cognition on the Obsolescence Chopping Block?

Summary

67% Informative

As AI grows, it introduces both wonder and fear—offering solutions while threatening cognitive relevance.

For the first time in history, human cognition itself is at risk of obsolescence.

We may be entering what could be called a post-neortical era, where human cognition is the central driver of innovation and progress.

Our future lies not in competing with AI but in leveraging what makes us distinctly human: creativity, empathy, intuition.

While AI handles technical and repetitive tasks with unparalleled efficiency, it is up to us to ask deeper questions, envision new ideas, and engage in higher-order thinking.

Ultimately, AI doesn't necessarily define the subjugation of human cognition but its redefinition.
