Today’s episode introduces an analytical exploration of Artificial Intelligence through the framework of gestalt cognition, moving away from traditional technical critiques. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, reflects on an essay by Abi Awomosu (@abiawomosu) to argue that modern society incorrectly demands analytic obedience from systems designed for relational learning. Rather than viewing AI issues as standard crises, Dr. Hoerricks suggests they stem from a fundamental category error in how we perceive intelligence. She emphasises a shift toward process-oriented thinking and a more holistic understanding of how these technologies function. By focusing on internal patterns and recognition rather than rigid categorisation, she challenges readers to reconsider their intellectual orientation toward emerging tech.
