View: our brains are not suited to cope with AI

Neuroscientist Paul Cisek proposes that the brain is not a Turing-style information processor, but a feedback control system that continuously extends into the external world through evolution, and this model better fits observable neural structures such as the hippocampus and episodic memory. Author Benjamin Riley accordingly believes that AI is like cognitive junk food, which is attractive at present but damages the cognitive system that humans have evolved over thousands of years.
