People don’t realize what’s really happening.

AI isn’t just taking jobs.
It’s taking over the mind.
It’s eating away at our skills, our confidence, our identity — and we’re handing it everything willingly, in exchange for speed.

We used to think. Now we prompt.
We used to build. Now we paste.
We used to create. Now we watch AI create for us.

And the worst part?

It feels amazing.
It feels so good that you don’t even notice when your mental muscles start dying.

Developers don’t code from scratch anymore.
Writers don’t write from their heart.
Designers don’t trust their own vision.
Everyone says, “I’ll just ask AI.”

And yes, before you ask — I used AI for this post too.
Even I asked AI before I started writing this.
That’s how deep this addiction runs.

But here’s the brutal truth:

The more you depend on AI, the more it erases you.

You stop learning.
You stop failing.
You stop growing.
And slowly, you stop being human.

You become just another user.
A prompt machine.
An observer of the world you once helped build.

We are raising a generation of developers who’ve never written a function without help.
Of students who can’t solve problems without copying.
Of creatives who can’t create without permission from a bot.

AI isn’t replacing humanity.
We’re surrendering it. Line by line. Prompt by prompt.

This isn’t just a warning.
It’s a scream.
A wake-up call.

Use AI.
Understand it.
Master it.

But never let it own you.

Or soon, there’ll be nothing left to call your own.
