The Illusion of Intelligence: Why AI’s Deterministic Efficiency Fails to Capture True Cognition Rahul Ramya 07.02.2025 Patna, India AI’s limitations in achieving true intelligence by emphasizing its deterministic efficiency syndrome, simplistic intelligence model, and lack of contextualisation and ethical considerations are very subtle. It also raises essential questions about the role of emotions in intelligence and whether AI’s computational power can compensate for its lack of human-like cognition. AI and the Deterministic Efficiency Syndrome The emphasis on speed and efficiency as primary indicators of intelligence reflects AI’s deterministic efficiency syndrome (DES). This approach reduces intelligence to a quantifiable metric—the ability to process vast amounts of data rapidly. However, intelligence is not merely about processing speed but about meaning-making, adaptability, and lived contextualization. For instance, AI may outperform humans in a game of ...
