How Will AI-Driven 'Visualization of Thought' Affect Human Evolution? [Cognitive Evolution of the Brain Series 10]

Until now, 'thought was internal'

Up until now, thinking could only be done 'inside the head.'
AI was a tool for experts,
and was far removed from our daily lives.

Therefore, thinking and learning were primarily
necessitated by 'self-reflection' and 'dialogue with others,'
and it was a world where we thought
'only with our own brains' based on the biased thinking of ourselves or our consultants.

From now on, it is the 'era of externalized thought'

Now, high-performance AI has become
a 'daily companion' that anyone can use.
Through dialogue with AI,
we can bring our thoughts out, organize them, and reconstruct them.

For example,

'Talking about your thoughts to AI'
becomes the best training for the brain.

Thoughts are organized through verbalization,
and can be re-verified from the multifaceted perspectives of AI.

AI is no longer just a search tool,
but has become a 'cognitive mirror' that visualizes and re-edits thoughts.

I myself have awakened dormant logical thinking
through dialogue with AI.
As a result, in quantitative evaluations by AI, multiple abilities such as 'logical consistency'
and 'critical thinking'
have grown to be judged as being in the top few percent
among Japanese business professionals.

The gap between those who can and those who cannot will widen

Furthermore, this is a story about the wave of the times.
The unavoidable reality that high-performance AI is available to everyone.

Those who can collaborate with AI will polish their thinking skills,
and their information literacy and logical thinking
will be continuously strengthened.

On the other hand, those who do not use AI
will remain in the old style of thinking,
and will be swept away by the flood of information without growing.

Those who do not use AI and cannot face themselves
are highly likely to have low thinking skills at that point.
Moreover, they will proceed down a path of further regression from there.

The gap in thinking skills
will widen more than ever before, when AI was a distant existence.

This difference will eventually appear in society
as 'cognitive polarization.'

Those who are growth-oriented versus those whose thinking is stagnant or declining.

This gap will continue to widen in every field.

In the field of education,
'education where everyone is taught by a teacher' (undifferentiated)
rather than
'whether one can grow alongside AI' (clear differentiation)
will become the era of growth.

In the business world,
'using AI that everyone can use' (undifferentiated)
rather than
'whether you can do something different from others with AI that everyone can use'
(clear differentiation)
will become the era where superiority is established.
