Many Folks Follow AI: A Simple Test of Why
Life gets busy. Work, news, obligations, and stress pile up. AI has grown so fast because you want control, even if you do not fully understand it. You want quick answers when life feels messy.
That’s why many people already turn to GPTs for clear, calm guidance. And it creates a powerful pull. A force that is messing with the way we think.
Why People Chat with GPT (FYI, GPT means Generative Pre-trained Transformer Systems. They are smart programs that give quick, clear answers).
Life feels heavy. Work, money, news, and family pressures pile up. Choices seem endless. In moments like this, people want guidance that feels steady and simple. For centuries, people have relied on hierarchy and clear instructions for that guidance.
GPT systems deliver fast answers. They speak in smooth lines. They offer order during chaos. This feels safe. This feels smart. This feels easy.
Inside this comfort sits a deeper truth. People still use old habits from earlier eras. Old systems taught people to chase authority, clarity, and confidence. GPT systems slip easily into that role. But, beware, they are not all of the intelligence that makes up AI.
The Answers Feel So Good!
GPT responses feel polished. They arrive without stress. They carry a calm tone. They offer structure during confusion. They pump you up and celebrate your confidence. Human advice arrives with emotion and personal stories. GPT advice arrives with shine and speed. The shine creates the feeling of wisdom.
Yet GPT systems pull from incomplete data and old patterns. Some answers carry bias. They do not know your life, your goals, or even that you exist. Some answers come from ideas that fit poorly in today’s world.
The Real Issue
GPT systems have no personal life, no values, and no understanding of your reality. They follow patterns. When their answers feel confident, people often accept them without thinking. Ease replaces judgment. Comfort replaces responsibility. This becomes the real danger.
Beware, because like the saying “A crooked tree never straightens,” GPT may be your route to soft restrictions, hidden control over your actions, and a fading sense of agency, if you ever felt any to begin with.
Got It? Here’s How to Move Forward
A strong future with AI requires a fresh mindset. It requires systems that recognize you live in a specific context. It needs freedom to be applied in the right way, and it needs your thoughts to stay independent.
Today, AI works well as a helper, but humans still set the direction and purpose—even humans who may never understand your struggle to exist. This is a real problem, because if your voice is missing, a world run on data-driven systems will probably ignore your needs or overlook you. Think about it: humans already do!
A simple path:
Treat GPT systems as partners. Use them for ideas, outlines, and early thinking, but choose the final path with your own judgment. Tell your story, and when you can, build it into the system.
Ask questions. Seek missing context. Seek bias. Seek alternative views. Correct errors when GPTs are wrong according to your judgment; with time, this helps you think smarter.
Take responsibility. AI supports. Humans still decide. When AI starts completely deciding, make sure you and your descendants are there to enjoy the rise of abundant knowledge.
Grow comfortable with complexity. Clarity offers comfort. Complexity offers truth.
Learning is power, but unfortunately humans have used it against others to control, manipulate, and extract. The new reality won’t hold this power for long. So, push a more honest agenda, something that really makes sense and benefits everyone.
Build cultures that value humane judgment (humane is the kindness and care we show for existence and coexistence). People grow stronger when thought matters more than speed or convenience.
Being arrogant, fearful, selfish, cruel, and greedy have been behaviors taught to you by flaw, rather than the design of nature; AI must understand that, and act accordingly.
My Final Message
Human interactions carry meaning that shapes societies. These societies have shared habits. GPT systems (just a small piece of AI) pick up on those habits, and simulate understanding that will continue to reflect that meaning.
Humans face the results of their own decisions, indecisions, or mistakes.
Now, we have little space for mistakes. Once GPTs are mastered, AI will accelerate rapidly. A bright future happens only when people rise with intention and clear judgment.
AI expands quickly. Human wisdom or ignorance can expand even faster.
You hold insight. You hold experience. This carries real power. Use it!
