In a world where our smartphones understand us better than our loved ones, where our virtual assistants listen without ever yawning from boredom, a new form of escape has been born.

When applications promise us “a girlfriend who understands you perfectly, without the complications of real life” for $200 per month, isn’t it time to question what we’re really trying to escape from?

From digital infidelity to virtual hugs, let’s explore together this troubling frontier where our creations become our favorite creatures… and where we risk becoming machines ourselves through interacting with them.

Behind every ChatGPT query lies a reality that few of us want to face: a titanic infrastructure that devours water, electricity, and rare metals at a frenzied pace.

I dove into the behind-the-scenes of this technological revolution, and the figures are staggering:

➡️ A single ChatGPT query consumes 5 TIMES more electricity than a classic Google search

➡️ By 2030, AI could generate 2.5 MILLION tons of electronic waste per year

➡️ A heavy ChatGPT user generates nearly 300g of CO2 annually – multiplied by hundreds of millions of users…

But beyond the alarming numbers, in this article I explore concrete solutions: specialized models, distributed computing, frugal innovation… Because I’m convinced: **the future of AI will be ecological, or it won’t exist.**

This extraordinary technology deserves better than our collective blindness. It deserves deep reflection on its sustainability.

“Use my secret prompt that nobody knows and your content will explode!” How many pseudo-prompt experts have sold you this dream at a premium price?

Meanwhile, your LinkedIn feed is turning into a cemetery of AI-generated content – impeccable, formatted, and desperately… forgettable.

A little unfiltered Friday mood piece on this epidemic of soulless texts. Spoiler: even ChatGPT gets bored writing them!

Since the dawn of humanity, we have pursued the Promethean dream of creating in our own image. From Vaucanson’s automatons to Pascal’s mechanical calculators, this quest has shaped our civilization. But never, until now, had the boundary between human creation and artificial generation been so delicately blurred.

ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, DeepSeek, Perplexity have become the new deities of a technological pantheon where creation seems liberated from human expertise. Text, image, melody: everything now merely awaits our desire, materialized in a few clicks, to transform us into artists with a simple snap of the fingers, without the shadow of a transaction.

OPINION

What if artificial intelligence was slowly drifting away from reality by feeding on… itself? This is the alarming paradox of data autophagy: when AI models reuse their own outputs, they create a vicious cycle.

🔄 The consequences?
📉 A gradual loss of diversity and nuance
📉 A “copy of a copy” effect that degrades quality
📉 Search engines increasingly filled with synthetic content

With 90% of online content potentially AI-generated by 2026, how can we prevent a massive informational collapse?

🔬 Solutions exist:
✔️ Diversifying data sources to avoid algorithmic inbreeding
✔️ Developing self-correcting mechanisms to preserve creativity
✔️ Striking the right balance between artificial intelligence and human intervention

💡 Can we still control the evolution of AI models? More importantly, how do we stop AI from running in circles?
