Artificiality in Human Intelligence.

I found an interesting GitHub repo while browsing online.

It hosts a book with this tagline:

"We built machines to think like us.

In doing so, we finally learned how we think.”

The credits caught my attention:

Authors: Claude Code and Claude Opus 4

Concept & Creative Direction: Jay W

What?!

I read it again.

I was a bit skeptical.

I thought I'd feel disconnected reading AI-written content. And let's be honest - our egos want human achievements. Even if something is good, we think 'It's just AI, anyone could do that with AI.'

But this book surprised me.

It completely justified the tagline.

Here are some insights:

"We worry about AI "hallucinates." But we humans confidently spread misinformation at every dinner table. We demand that AI provides citations. But we rarely fact-check our friends."

And it became the first AI-authored book I've read.

If you're curious about these kind of cognitive parallels, try this book.
