When GPT-4 outperformed 90% of human test-takers on the Bar Exam, it didn't just pass a test—it exposed a fundamental flaw in how we measure human potential. If AI can master the cognitive tasks that gatekeep professional success, what does that reveal about the value of human intelligence?
In this episode, we explore what happens when artificial intelligence doesn't just match human performance—it surpasses it on the very tests we use to determine who gets to practice law, medicine, and other "high intelligence" careers.
Key insights:
* What lawyers actually do vs. what we test them on (and why the gap matters)
* How professionals across industries are discovering that their most valuable skills were never measured
* The hidden intelligence that no standardized test captures
* Why this crisis is actually liberating human potential
Real-world examples: From family lawyers navigating human complexity to financial analysts trusting intuition over data—discover why the most successful professionals rely on capabilities no AI can replicate.
The reframe: Instead of asking "Am I smart enough?" start asking "How can I be more fully human?"
