最近，MIT 的一項新研究揭示了一個重要事實：當我們過度依賴 AI 進行創意工作時，會產生所謂的「認知債務」。換句話說，我們越讓 AI 代替思考，就越少鍛鍊自己的創造力。這引發了許多爭論——有些人認為 AI 是有害的，威脅我們的智慧財產權，甚至認為使用 AI 在資料倫理上有問題等等。
但我認為這些討論漏掉了一個關鍵點。
真正的秘訣不是在選擇「用 AI」還是「不用 AI」——而是我們如何使用、何時使用、為何使用 AI。那些持續深度思考、質疑和創造的人，會把 AI 當作放大能力的工具，而非取代自己。頂尖的表現者把 AI 當作跳板，而不是替代品。
從 illumi 創立的第一天起，我們的願景就很清楚：AI 應該像鋼鐵人的盔甲一樣——增強人類能力，而不是取代穿著盔甲的人。沒有Tony的盔甲只是空殼；沒有盔甲的Tony仍然是天才。
這個理念指引著我們所做的一切。我們首先專注於捕捉和組織人類的知識、智慧和創造力——然後才謹慎地把 AI 當作增強層來應用。我們的大腦仍然是創新、洞察和進步不可取代的引擎。
從一開始，我就把 illumi 建立在一個簡單但強大的基礎上：在 AI 時代，人的價值必須保持核心地位。在一個充斥著科技的世界裡，知識管理和獨特人類洞察的策展比以往任何時候都更重要。
而且別忘了——歷史上最偉大的成就從來不是因為一個孤獨的天才。它們都源自團隊——多元的人群匯聚思想，創造出超越任何個人所能達成的成就。
這就是為什麼我們致力於讓收集和重視人類知識變得容易，然後才加入 AI 作為強大的夥伴。
最終，協作——首先是人與人之間，然後是人與 AI 之間——將是任何專案真正成功的關鍵。
讓我們記住：我們的大腦仍然是維持創新、創造意義、推動人類前進最重要的東西。
Recently, a new MIT study highlighted an important truth: when we overly rely on AI for our creative work, we create something called “cognitive debt.” In other words, the more we let AI do our thinking, the less we exercise our own creative muscles. This has sparked debates—some argue AI is damaging, threatening our intellectual property, and even call its use unethical data etc.
But I believe the conversation is missing a critical point.
The real secret isn’t about choosing AI vs. no AI—it’s about how, when, and for what we choose to use AI. Those who continue to think deeply, question, and create, harness AI as a tool to amplify their abilities, not replace them. The highest performers use AI as a springboard, not a substitute.
From day one at illumi, our vision has been clear: AI should function like Tony Stark's suit – amplifying human capabilities rather than replacing the person inside. The suit without Tony is just an empty shell; Tony without the suit is still a genius.
This philosophy guides everything we do. We focus first on capturing and organizing human knowledge, wisdom, and creativity – then thoughtfully applying AI as an enhancement layer. Our brains remain the irreplaceable engines of innovation, insight, and progress.
From day one, I built illumi on a simple but powerful foundation: human value must remain at the core of our AI era. In a world overflowing with technology, knowledge management and the curation of uniquely human insights are more vital than ever.
And let’s not forget—the greatest achievements in history never happened because of one lone genius. They were born from teams—diverse groups of people bringing their minds together and building beyond what any one person could achieve.
That’s why we are committed to making it easy to gather and celebrate human knowledge, and only then, add AI as a powerful partner.
In the end, collaboration—among people first, and then with AI—will be the key to any project’s true success.
Let’s remember: our brain is still the most important thing to sustain innovation, create meaning, and move humanity forward.
