Cognitive psychologist Don Norman argues that today's large language models are technically wrong because they ignore how human cognition works, and he compares human episodic memory and fast learning with current AI systems. The newsletter suits readers who want a cognitive scientist's critique of AI, with personal essays that mix his own reasoning and some AI-drafted material.
