只有当AI能'建造山脉'——自主构建全新理论体系并重塑学科思考方式时，这种智能水平才可能渗透到经济各领域，其影响远超IMO金牌。

“如果它能建造出（理论的）山脉……清晰地重塑我们思考一个学科的方式，那代表了如此高的智能水平，以至于它若不能渗透到经济其他领域反而会令人惊讶。（英文原话：If it's capable of building mountains... that just crystallizes how we should be thinking about a subject, that's just such a level of intelligence that then it starts to feel like it would be surprising if that didn't perme”

平克认为智能系统的核心是综合权衡多重约束（如汽车设计兼顾速度与安全装刹车），真正智能的AI不会单目标狂奔而忽略附带影响。

“如果它真的是智能的，它就不会一心一意地追求某个目标，而忽略所有其他考虑和附带影响。—— If it's genuinely intelligent, it's not going to pursue some goal single mindedly, omitting every other consideration and collateral effect.”
