摘要

This paper examines whether Large Language Models can reliably distinguish genuine insight from plausible confabulation. Through analysis of constraint hierarchies in textual generation, it demonstrates that pattern recognition without world-contact cannot generate its own criteria for truth. Drawing on Wiener’s cybernetic principles and contemporary epistemology, the paper establishes eight principles showing why algorithmic exploration requires grounding that only embodied cognition provides. A new philosophy of human-AI collaboration is proposed wherein neither party possesses sufficient resources alone, but their interaction enables knowledge generation impossible for either independently. The paper concludes that profound insights arise not when AI approximates human cognition or humans defer to algorithmic authority, but when both maintain their distinct limitations while learning to communicate across the boundary separating them.
