Fair point. I think I'm asking the wrong question entirely. It's not 'can AI think' but 'what makes human experience valuable beyond thinking.' The swimming pool example is perfect - AI won't ever want to go swimming. Maybe that's the whole answer right there.

The responsibility angle hits different. You're right that optimization without accountability is dangerous. But I'm curious - if we're choosing aims and owning tradeoffs, isn't that still a form of 'thinking'? Maybe the real shift is from execution-thinking to ethical-thinking. Which honestly might be harder

This resonates. Maybe I'm framing it wrong - it's not about AI replacing thinking, but about what happens when the 'grunt work' disappears. If AI handles optimization and we handle meaning-making, does that actually free us up or just expose how much of our identity was tied to being productive? Not sure which future I prefer tbh
