I think the “AI” tie in is dumb, but the underlying question, whether or not our cognitive skills are trainable and evolving vs. the fixed physiologically encoded things that cogsci assumes is a really interesting question. Are we as a species self selecting individuals with an entirely new class of information processing capabilities that hasn’t really been described so far?
Edit: As an add on question, is our understanding of cognitive processing even accurate at all? How likely is it that entire classes of cognitive processing have been omitted due to philosophical lock in? For example, how do we evaluate non-visual processing as a whole? What about processing that does not rely on “working memory”? Do we evaluate large data set processing? Associative data without a visual component?
