Description
Greg Twemlow's article explores the rise of AI that can "think" and reason, like humans. It raises concerns about the potential for humans to become overly reliant on these AI systems, leading to a decline in critical thinking skills. Twemlow suggests engaging with AI as a "thinking partner" through structured questioning to avoid cognitive atrophy. He provides examples of prompts designed to validate AI reasoning and promote co-reasoning. The article also cites experts who worry about automation bias and the need for AI literacy. Ultimately, Twemlow posits that AI presents a "Kairos moment" where humanity must choose to use AI to elevate intellect rather than surrender to it. Read the article.
