The human brain evolved over millions of years to handle a specific type of environment. Our ancestors faced dangers, certainly. They made crucial decisions about food, shelter, and survival. But these decisions came in manageable quantities with clear outcomes and immediate feedback.
When Grok the caveman saw berries, his decision was binary: eat or don't eat. If he chose wrong, he'd know immediately (stomach ache or worse). His brain developed elegant systems for handling these survival choices: - Quick pattern recognition - Emotional shortcuts for danger - Social proof from the tribe - Clear feedback loops
But Grok never had to choose between forty types of berries, each with different antioxidant profiles, organic certifications, and sustainability ratings. He didn't read reviews of berry-picking locations or optimize his berry consumption for Instagram.
Our brains still run on Grok's operating system, but we're asking it to process Jennifer's world. It's like trying to run the latest software on a computer from 1985. The hardware simply wasn't designed for this workload.
