When thinking becomes a hobby in the future
“Thinking will become a hobby in the future”
TL;DR
AI is rapidly outpacing humans in many cognitive tasks—better, cheaper, and always on—so most knowledge work is headed for takeover. Human thinking won’t vanish, but it may shift from necessity to hobby.
Summary
The article argues that AI is rapidly overtaking human cognitive work due to improving performance, falling costs, and constant availability. It says AI now surpasses humans in more tasks while human information-processing skills remain limited or are declining. The author expects strong resistance, but sees AI replacing or augmenting much of today’s knowledge work, making human thinking increasingly optional in many jobs.
