Cognition amplifiers: The battle for your brain is here

AI should be understood as a cognition amplifier. Most technologies extend some physical or organizational ability. Cars extend movement. Computers extend calculation and coordination. The internet extends communication. But in all of these cases, humans remained the main bottleneck. We still had to decide, reason, design, debug, compare, and execute. AI is different because it amplifies cognition itself. That is what makes this moment so strange. We are not just building better tools.
