We stand at a new intellectual threshold—one shaped not by the solitude of the desert or the agora, but by the strange companionship of large language models.
Peter Danenberg argues that LLMs and our usage of them must evolve. To preserve human judgment, AI must not just assist, but challenge—provoking the kind of thinking that can’t be outsourced. What emerges is a vision of AI not as a replacement, but as a crucible for transformation.
