Dr. Noah St John argues that our 200,000-year-old caveman brain is still winning against AI, despite artificial intelligence being the fastest technology ever invented. Our ancient, instinct-driven cognition outmatches even the most advanced machines.
Because what do I mean by caveman in the brain? About 200,000. That's the number that most people agree on. So, it's an ancient brain, about 10,000 generations we humans have been around. Now, in that time, the brain itself hasn't changed very much. All right? It's about the same as it was back in the day. And so, that is what you have on the one hand. Now, on the other hand, you have the fastest technology ever invented by humans. AI, artificial intelligence. So, you have a 200,000-year-old caveman fighting the fastest technology ever built, and who do you think is winning that battle? All right, the caveman in the brain is winning.
