Not so Fast, ChatGPT: How the Swarm Unlocks our Superintelligence. Go Humans!

Agent K delivers his cynical observation in Men in Black with the weight of truth, not because it is absolute, but because history has often made it seem so. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.”

Mobs that rage. Crowds that destroy. Chaos that erupts from the many, undoing the order of the few. But like many truths, this one is incomplete, a fragment of a larger, more complex story.

Now imagine instead a different kind of crowd—not driven by fear or frenzy, but by connection. A crowd that thinks, breathes, and evolves as one. This is not fantasy; it is the reality emerging from new research by Unanimous AI. In the right conditions, humans connected through technology can rise above their limitations, transforming into something extraordinary. Not a chaotic mob but a coherent, collective mind—a superorganism capable of brilliance no single individual could achieve alone.

The evidence defies the conventional narrative of human groups as dangerous and unpredictable. Instead, it invites us to reconsider what collective intelligence can mean. Real-time feedback systems, designed to mimic the natural choreography of swarms, have shown that human groups can outperform even the brightest individuals. These systems amplify intelligence, refining raw human thought into something sharper, something more. If a single mind is smart, then a swarm, working in harmony, can be genius.
