It’s very sad all these breakthroughs in technology are not being used to build up humanity but rather to tear it down. Technology can be used to help so many yet is being used to monitor and enslave almost everyone.
Do we really want to have a society run by a machine and artificial entity which doesn’t think but just reacts and produces a speedy conclusion? Something which has no ethics but it’s every outcome is based upon a bottom line. A fascinating read below within the link.
We are raising a generation which is unable to think critically and is being taught that gaining personal wealth and inflating one’s ego is a top priority. No ethics or virtue need apply as long as you stick to the hive mind script.
What if AI Isn't Intelligence but Anti-Intelligence?
Personal Perspective: AI’s power may be distancing us from our own intelligence.

[ The Slow Dissolving of Cognitive Boundaries
In its place, AI offered answers that were too clean, too fast, and eerily fluent. Curious as it may be, it felt as if my own mind had been pre-empted. This wasn’t assistance; it was the slow dissolving of cognitive boundaries, and the results, while brilliant, were vapid in a way only perfection can be.
Now, this shift invites a deeper look into how these models function. Its power lies in predictive fluency and not understanding, but arranging ideas in some mysterious statistical construct. Its architecture—atemporal, and hyperdimensional—doesn't reflect how human minds actually work.
"Anti-intelligence"
And this is where a new idea begins to take shape. I began to wonder if we're not merely dealing with artificial intelligence, but with something structurally different that is not simply complementary with human cognition but antithetical. Something we might call "anti-intelligence."
It's important to understand that this isn't intended as some sort of rhetorical jab, but as a conceptual distinction. Anti-intelligence isn’t ignorance, and it isn't malfunction. I'm beginning to think it's the inversion of intelligence as we know it. AI replicates the surface features such as language, fluency, and structure, but it bypasses the human substrate of thought. There's no intention, doubt, contradiction, or even meaning. It’s not opposed to thinking; it makes thinking feel unnecessary.
This becomes a cultural and cognitive concern when anti-intelligence is deployed at scale. In education, students submit AI-generated essays that mimic competence but contain no trace of internal struggle. In journalism, AI systems can assemble entire articles without ever asking why something matters. In research, the line between synthesis and simulation blurs. It’s not about replacing jobs—it’s about replacing the human "cognitive vibe" with mechanistic performance.]
