Viral pseudo-academic chart shows machine intelligence soaring as human cognition declines
sull · x · 2026-10-19
A mock-academic chart is going viral: a fake "Standardized Intelligence Index" for machine systems climbs exponentially from 78 (2010) to 144 (2030) while "Human Functional Cognitive Capacity" slides from 100 to 75, complete with pseudo-formulas, annotated inflection points like "attention fragmentation threshold" and a fabricated DOI. A satirical take on the narrative of humans outsourcing cognition to AI.
