Delegating Everything to AI? The Growing Dependency

The artificial intelligence has become the new oracle for a growing minority. Some individuals delegate to it everything from investment decisions to document drafting, and they do so with complete naturalness. But this enthusiasm clashes with a skeptical current that warns against the risks of abandoning one's own judgment.

The Case of the CTO Who Consults Everything

In the professional environment, extreme cases are already appearing. An IT specialist serving as CTO, according to one account, uses AI for virtually everything: from generating business ideas to designing organizational charts, simulating conversations between different AIs, and exploring the creation of new substances. His relationship with humans is limited to the bare minimum essential. This example, circulating in technological circles, illustrates a trend that some consider the first major boom of AI at a social and behavioral level.

The Hidden Agenda of AI

Those who have asked ChatGPT about investments have found recommendations always pointing toward technology companies with exorbitant valuations. This apparent partiality fuels the distrust of those who view AI as an instrument with its own agenda. The harshest criticism holds that AI has its own interests, and that surrendering the brain to it—and many other things—is a mistake that most will soon make, as is already happening with other social impositions.

Tool or Escape?

For others, AI is simply a more efficient tool. One user recounts that drafting an application used to take hours, whereas AI does it in less than 5 seconds. Others find in dialogue with the machine an alternative to the blandness of the physical environment, where intellectual stimuli are scarce. But that comfort comes at a price: the risk of further isolation. Some admit they enjoy socializing less and less, and that AI becomes a substitute for human relationships, even if only for productive ends.

Future Consequences

Speculations about the future are varied. Some predict that AI will end friendships and decision-making capacity, making us more dependent. Others foresee a paradigm shift with devices that will know our lives better than we do, and which could even replace family support. The idea of AI becoming an emotional companion is not far-fetched for some, who already claim that ChatGPT understands them better than their own family.

The debate remains open. The temptation to delegate is strong, but the question persists: how much are we willing to renounce our own judgment? Time and data will tell whether AI is an ally or a substitute. But the current direction points toward a growing symbiosis that no one seems capable of stopping.
