    Generative AI raises unparalleled questions. It may be tempting to see it as another in a long line of information and communication technologies, which have resulted in the profusion of human expression. However, generative AI operates in a very different manner than prior technologies, distilling human expression in order to synthesize human-like expression. The outcome of such a process, while not yet well understood, is qualitatively different from that of the human mind, creating gaps with human understanding. The essential challenges and opportunities of generative AI are thus cognitive at least as much as technological. Navigating this transformation successfully will require new concepts of human thought, not only new modes of human interaction with machines.
