When AI starts writing papers and making news…how much value does your brain have left?

AI technology is increasingly being used. When AI can generate an academic paper in 30 seconds and use algorithms to fabricate realistic news scenes, humans begin to face a sharp question: Is our thinking depreciating in front of intelligent machines?

Technological iteration is reshaping cognitive boundaries. An experiment at a certain university showed that 62% of the course papers submitted by students using AI writing tools had logical faults and plagiarized ideas – these texts perfectly circumvented the duplicate checking system, but lost the warmth of human thinking. More dangerous signals appeared in the news field. During a certain country’s election, AI-generated false political advertisements deceived 80% of the respondents. The algorithm knows how to accurately stimulate emotional pain points.

But this is by no means the end of human cognition. When we shift our perspective from tools to essence, we will find that AI is becoming a mirror image of thinking: it is good at optimizing repetitive processes, but it is difficult to replicate the cognitive leap unique to humans. Just like AlphaGo can beat the Go champion, but cannot understand the philosophical thoughts of the chess player in the game; AI news can weave eye-catching headlines, but cannot write the glimmer of humanity written by war correspondents.

The true cognitive value is evolving to a higher dimension. We need to cultivate “algorithmic literacy” and understand the technical logic like disassembling a clock; we also need to forge “humanistic algorithms” and transform philosophical speculation and artistic perception into scarce resources in the digital age. When a technology company requires employees to use AI to assist in decision-making, it clearly stipulates that humans must dominate the value judgment link – this reveals a truth: technology can replace most “how to do” but can never replace “why”.

In the face of the perfect answers generated by AI, the most precious value of human beings may be those imperfect traces of thinking. They carry the courage to question, the spark of innovation, and the spiritual pursuit beyond utilitarianism. When machines are racing on the established track, human thinking is heading towards a wider unknown sea. #deepseek #AI #outdoorfurniture #restaurantfurniture
