If AI Thinks for You, Who Are You?

If your “expert” work is 100% AI, you’re not an expert, you’re a prompt.

I’m pro-AI.
I think we should adopt it fast and use it as best we can.

But there’s one thing I don’t want AI to replace: judgment.

Right now, I see a lot of “professionals” selling work that’s 100% AI-generated.
No experience behind it. No context. No responsibility for outcomes.

At that point, it’s fair to ask: 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑝𝑎𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓?

The edge was never the tool.
The edge is knowing what to ask, what to ignore, and what actually works in the real world through your own judgment.

What worries me isn’t the AI itself, but how blindly people trust it.

AI won’t stay neutral forever.
Ads are already on trial in the US as of 2026.
Paid recommendations via ChatGPT Shopping are already here.
These systems are expensive, and someone has to pay for them.

So in the (near) future, you may ask ChatGPT for advice on healthy food, and its answer may be McDonald’s, because it's got meat, lettuce, and carbs - everything you need for a balanced meal - right?

Everyone thinks they’ll notice.
But we’ve all clicked sponsored Google results without realizing it, and the mechanisms are only getting smarter.

It's everyone's responsibility to use AI to amplify their thinking, not replace it.
If AI thinks FOR you - then who are YOU?

Do you think we can use AI without switching our brains off? How?
