The content explores the complex relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence, questioning whether machines can truly replicate all aspects of human cognition. While AI companies aim for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), philosophers like Hubert Dreyfus argue that human cognition involves elements that cannot be reduced to algorithms. The paper also discusses the Clever Hans effect, highlighting how AI systems, like large language models (LLMs), can appear intelligent but actually rely on guidance from users. The interplay between AI systems and human interaction challenges traditional views of intelligence and emphasizes the importance of collaboration in shaping intelligence.
