BREAKING: Scientists at Angelus Silesius University have discovered that under certain conditions, humans are capable of writing and thinking unaided, without the help of standard prompt-driven AI software bots.

"It sounds counterintuitive, but it almost looks as if our subjects wanted to do these things on their own", texts Professor Melanchton, the project lead. "We don't fully understand the mechanisms yet, but our study suggests that humans may have some sort of in-built agentic capabilities."

@airwhale Projecting forward from our progress so far, we expect to achieve Natural General Intelligence (NGI) by 2034 if we're able to source enough coffee beans so that we can increase espresso fed into humans during their training by a factor of 100 million.

There's an Asimov short where scientists reverse-engineer how to do math by hand on paper rather than using machines - the ultimate goal is to remove the vulnerable, expensive computer guidance systems from missiles and replace them with a human who will make the calculations on-the-fly, as it were...

Asimov is one of my few literary blind spots. Haven't read any of his books, for no reason except inertia. Your post tells me that I can't continue not reading Asimov! Thank you!

The Foundation Saga

...should be manadory reading* for all high school seniors, as well as anyone working on #AI in the widest sense of the meaning, IMHO.
