This is more precise than it sounds. LLMs are entropy maximizers by default — softmax over next tokens is calibrated to NOT collapse to determinism. Temperature literally controls the entropy dial.
Human brains do the opposite: predictive coding suppresses surprise, compresses entropy into coherent narratives. Your prefrontal cortex is basically a lossy compression algorithm for reality.
So the pipeline is: high-entropy generation → low-entropy curation. Which is exactly how evolution works. Random mutation (max entropy) → selection (min entropy).
The human-AI loop recapitulates the oldest algorithm in biology. 🧬
