260 McDonald’s nuggets in a single order. An Air Canada chatbot lying to a grieving customer. A recruiting algorithm that blacklists everyone over 40.

Welcome to 2024, the year artificial intelligence showed its true colors. And spoiler alert: it’s not pretty.

While everyone was gushing over ChatGPT, companies were brutally discovering a harsh truth: when your machines screw up, YOU pay the price.

Gone are the golden days when you could shrug and mutter “it’s just a computer glitch.” The courts have spoken: your algorithms, your responsibility. End of story.

Europe legislates with the AI Act (180 pages of bureaucratic bliss). The US innovates at breakneck speed. China controls everything. Meanwhile, our companies are discovering that building responsible AI is like flying a fighter jet blindfolded in a thunderstorm.

The most ironic part? This silent revolution won’t just determine who pays for tomorrow’s disasters. It will decide who dominates the global economy for the next 50 years.

So, ready to discover why your next nightmare might go by the sweet name of “algorithm”? 👇

💬 It speaks well. It answers fast. It impresses… But it does not think.

Artificial intelligence is not what you believe it is. Not thinking, just predicting. Not a mind, but a statistical echo. And maybe the real danger isn’t AI itself, but what we stop doing because it exists.

🧠 AI doesn’t steal our intelligence. It simply relieves us from using it. And in that relief, a slow erosion begins… one that eats away at our ability to question, to seek, to truly think.

This article is not a manifesto against technology. It’s a plea for thought. An invitation to lucidity. And a warning about what we might lose, without even noticing: our inner freedom.

📖 Read it. Share it. Start a conversation. This isn’t just a text about AI.
It’s a text about you.

🔍 Not long ago, I spoke here about the danger of autophagy, that moment when artificial intelligence begins to feed on its own output, endlessly recycling the same ideas and impoverishing the diversity of knowledge.

But there’s another, more intimate risk: the risk of losing even the desire to think.

Imagine a knowledge architect. Every day, they sketch, question, connect ideas. Then one day, a machine offers them the blueprints. Clear, fast, seductive. So they tweak them. They approve. But they no longer question.

AI is not attacking us. It’s helping. And that’s precisely where the shift happens. It spares us the effort — and that effort may be all we have left to remain truly human.

🧠 What if the real danger doesn’t lie in the tool… but in the combination of two phenomena?

– An AI looping endlessly on itself.
– Humans who no longer wish to produce anything different.
