How AI is reshaping human intelligence
We’ve just seen a big week of AI developments. Musk launched Grok 3, Google introduced AI Co-Scientist, and rumors about OpenAI’s GPT-5 release are picking up.
One of the most notable aspects of these launches is how Musk described Grok 3—calling it “scarily smart”
To be fair, Grok 3 is truly impressive. It quickly outperformed most AIs in multiple benchmarks, including math, scientific reasoning, and coding, closing the gap with OpenAI’s lead.
Still, the speed of these advancements makes it hard to believe progress will slow down anytime soon. Naturally, that has a lot of people excited.
But despite all the breakthroughs we’re seeing, the same fundamental issues remain. Many LLMs still struggle to precisely interpret what we’re asking.
Some people might overlook this, assuming AI-generated hallucinations are accurate. And while plenty of companies have adopted AI in some form, the results haven’t been game-changing.
So, it makes me wonder—does AI development depend …
