Beyond Anti-Intelligence: Where AGI Might Live | Psychology Today

As seen online:

“This paradox resonated because it exposes a deeper issue about how AI mimics thought without actually thinking. It dazzles with its outputs yet lacks the architecture of a mind. A visual always helps, so I created a cognitive map that showed how LLMs and human cognition are fundamentally different. The grid placed the two in quadrants that one can argue are "antithetical" and supported my initial idea of "anti-intelligence."

Source: ChatGPT modified by NostaLab.

But this raised another important question. What happens in the other two empty quadrants? And more specifically, if today’s AI occupies this anti-intelligence zone, where else could cognition exist? What does the broader landscape of “thinking” look like when we push into that curious upper right quadrant? To answer that, we need a more complete cognitive map.”
