AI and the 'Many–One' Inversion

Psychology Today | 14.10.2026 02:54
Today's idea is about a curiously simple relationship between human and artificial intelligence. It's almost too simple, and captures something that might align with "first principles" thinking. A human mind begins as one, a singular experience. We enter the world from a particular point of view and gradually discover that other minds exist. We do this by reading books, learning from teachers, arguing with friends, and along the way, absorbing a culture. These "vital encounters" become part of us. And the mind does it so completely that years later we may not even remember where a self-defining idea came from.
