The AI Effect
Captions available
The idea
The AI effect is the reflex that reclassifies every task a machine masters as "not really intelligence after all."
In practice
Checkers, chess, translation, essay drafting — each was called intelligence until a machine did it, then became "mere computation."
Where people slip
Run for seventy years, the reflex makes intelligence whatever machines have not done yet — a definition that can never be met.
