AI doesn't have to think like humans to fundamentally reshape society. Look at history: whenever a technology reorganizes how we process and share knowledge, everything shifts. The printing press didn't think—it just scaled information. The internet didn't reason—it decentralized it. These weren't conscious minds, yet they rewired civilization.

The same principle applies today. Technologies that restructure knowledge systems—whether AI, blockchain, or other innovations—don't need consciousness or human-like reasoning. They just need to do one thing: change how information flows and who controls it.

That's where the real power lies. Not in mimicking human thought, but in fundamentally altering the architecture of knowledge itself.
