Recently, I’ve been working a lot with AI on my own computer—running models like Gemma and building small tools.

While doing that, I read a paper by Terence Tao about how human thinking should evolve in the age of AI.

One point stood out.

Until now, technology helped us share what we create.
But AI is starting to create itself.

That’s a big shift.

Tao also talks about the “smell test”—
that intuitive understanding humans have, which AI often lacks, even when the answer is correct.

I’ve felt that too.
AI can be accurate, but sometimes it doesn’t fully connect.

So the question becomes simple:

Where do we think for ourselves,
and where do we let AI take over?

That balance feels more important than ever.
