Iterative Intelligence or Cognitive Surrender

Psychology Today | 16.05.2026 00:23
About two years ago I wrote about what I called iterative intelligence. The idea was that large language models were doing something genuinely new. They weren't just retrieving information like an internet search but participating in a dynamic exchange. In this context, knowledge became less like a static object and more like a living conversation. I believed that mattered and I still do. But I believe it differently now, and the difference is worth examining.
