2026-10-08 — Thinking will become a hobby
El autor sostiene que la IA desplazará gran parte del trabajo cognitivo porque supera a las personas en más tareas, cuesta cada vez menos y puede operar continuamente. Considera improbable que la regulación detenga esa transformación y prevé que pensar pase de ser una actividad económica necesaria a una actividad de ocio, por lo que será esencial adaptarse y construir una vida con propósito más allá del trabajo.
These lines are very difficult for me to write because I feel like digging my own grave. AI systems are improving by leaps and bounds. From the early 2022 fumbling release of ChatGPT, which couldn’t correctly count the number of a’s in my name (it claimed two), we reached OpenAI’s release of math papers where an internal AI model solved many hundreds of previously open math problems. Aside from philosophical arguments, practical claims regarding the superiority of human thought, on grounds such as hallucinations or bias, increasingly appear to me like rearguard defence. For the bulk of today’s cognitive work, the writing’s on the wall: AI will take over.
