Writer Zvi Mowshowitz proposes a framework of three “pills” for understanding disagreements about artificial intelligence. He argues most people remain “unpilled,” while informed discourse requires accepting at least the “AGI pill,” the recognition that AI capabilities are advancing rapidly toward far more capable systems. Mowshowitz identifies as “ASI-pilled,” expecting AI to eventually exceed humans at nearly all tasks, and argues that “intelligence denialism” — the belief that greater intelligence offers limited practical value — is what prevents wider recognition of superintelligence as a likely outcome.
