We have a natural deep fear that AI will take over and make us obsolete. But that fear may be the screams from that part of our mind that make up our ego and there’s reasons to believe our future symbiosis with AI may be much more hopeful. I’ve been reading Michael Pollan's fascinating book "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addition, Depression, and Transcendence,” which dives into psychedelics and neuroscience. Thinking about these insights in the context of the rapid emergence of AI, I believe we may be at the frontier of a significant cognitive evolution as our use of AI tools begins to under-develop and atrophy critical parts of our brain, transforming the future of human consciousness and self-identity.
