Computers can compute, AI can compute; it can compute better than us.
We are not compute-ers (one who computes). We are thinkers.
AI can't reason abstractly or reason across domains like humans. That requires curiosity and insight → learning how to think: how to ask questions, how to process information, how to synthesize information, how to articulate one's thoughts.
Philosophy teaches how to ask questions, evaluate common-held beliefs, articulate oneself, process information, synthesize information. This is why I'm doing philosophy.
