The AI Era: When the 'Human-Dog Gap' Shrinks to the 'Human-Human Gap'

In the AI era, the gap between humans is narrowing from what was once likened to the difference between "humans and dogs" to a more comparable "human-to-human" difference. The author uses a hypothetical scoring system: a child scores 10 points, a PhD 60, a professor 75, and Einstein 100. With AI estimated at 40 points in cognitive value (effectively 80 when considering its generalist nature), a child with AI reaches 90 points, while Einstein with AI reaches 180—reducing their relative gap from 10x to 2x. Some argue that AI proficiency varies—novices may only leverage 20% of AI’s potential, while experts extract 100%, widening absolute gaps (e.g., child+AI novice=30 vs. Einstein+AI expert=200). However, the author contends this is temporary. As AI evolves, it will become smarter and easier to use, reducing the skill threshold. Future AI might score 240+ points, with humans consistently utilizing 80-120% of its potential. Eventually, a child with advanced AI could reach 1010 points, and Einstein 1100—a negligible 1.1x difference. The core idea: while current AI proficiency disparities may temporarily widen gaps, AI’s inevitable progress in intelligence and usability will democratize access, diminish human cognitive inequalities, and make individual expertise less impactful—like everyone having access to the same powerful tool.
