Terence Tao says that the age of AI is forcing us to confront a deeper issue than technology itself: our definition of intelligence may have been wrong all along. For a long time, humans treated intelligence as something vague and almost mystical, an elusive mental quality that could not be reduced to clear mechanisms. It was seen as a special spark that separated human thinking from any mechanical process. Yet the rapid progress of artificial intelligence has exposed an uncomfortable paradox. As AI systems solve increasingly complex tasks, from mathematical reasoning to language understanding and decision-making, they rarely look “intelligent” in the way we imagined. What we see instead are neural networks, statistical patterns, engineered tricks, and next-token prediction. This contrast raises a fundamental question: if systems can produce intelligent outcomes without appearing intelligent, then perhaps the flaw lies not in the machines but in our concept of intelligence itself. Tao suggests a more provocative interpretation: what we are discovering in AI may be a reflection of how the human mind actually works. Much of what we call human intelligence could be built on layered patterns, learned heuristics, and continuous prediction, rather than on some mysterious inner essence. In this sense, AI does not diminish human intelligence; it demystifies it. The real shift is not that machines are beginning to think like humans, but that humans are finally realizing that their own thinking may be far less magical, and far more structured, than they once believed.

He's correct, and I think AI is also going to point out that a lot of historical thought and philosophies that we regard as magical, are in fact quite logical.
I'm saying the flip is going to be true.
And this is critical theory: turn on its ear.
I'll say it differently: with AI, ignorant scientist might finally be demystified enough to see the logic. That's right under their noses.
Ai is going to help us interpret.
In other words, if if modern technology is using statistics to generate language, the reverse is using language to generate statistics and axioms, and calculations.

Intelligence is process — the Socratic and scientific methods — not just results or data sets. Your brain is a muscle; use it or lose it.
