What if AI Isn't Intelligence but Anti-Intelligence?
Key points:
* AI's power lies in predictive fluency and not understanding but arranging ideas in a statistical construct.
* AI replicates language, fluency, and structure but bypasses the human substrate of thought.
*Coherence is no longer a marker of meaning but a statistical artifact, language that merely sounds right.
Be careful out there.
