Hypothesis:

The AI vampire—the loss of flow state—is going to be something about our mirror neurons not getting the opportunity to model a problem sufficiently before it gets solved.

Intelligence is meh, cognition is pleasure.

Analog modeling of the world in our brains must be one of those evolutionarily selected things that feel good. Taking away that opportunity to model by interacting with problem kinda sucks.
