Some argue we finally understand intelligence because AI now seems to 'think'. But renowned developmental psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik argues this is a profound misunderstanding. Large Models are an important new cultural technology, summarizing information generated by humans, much like print or writing in the past. But, drawing on decades of research on children, learning, and imagination, Gopnik suggests that human intelligence, particularly in childhood, is very different. We are not prediction engines trained on vast datasets, but explorers who learn by experimenting, playing, and caring.
