How does Melanie Mitchell view analogy-making in intelligence?

Answered in Melanie Mitchell's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

This ability to see deep structural parallels is what allows for understanding, learning, and creative thought, both in humans and potentially in advanced AI.
