The recent successes of generative AI models have convinced some that AGI is imminent. While these models appear to capture the essence of human intelligence, they defy even our most basic intuitions about it. They have emerged not because they...
This article showcases the intersection of AI and cognitive science in the creation of an AI ensemble designed to generate and evaluate visual artifacts, such as early writing systems. The study's findings suggest that AI can simulate the invention of early writing systems, potentially offering insights into the cognitive processes involved in human writing system development. However, it is essential to consider the limitations and ethical implications of such AI advancements.
