Brains have been quietly outsourcing themselves since AI entered the room, and there is no looking back now. AI was meant to be a friend, a guide, sometimes a crutch. But that friend has overstayed, and become clingy. Or maybe we did. Be it replying to an annoying client, creating a last-minute deck, analysing a stock, generating a SM creative, writing a 'polite' email, summarizing a 97-page report, or asking, āWhy does my brain fog as soon as I wake up?ā, we have relied on AI way too much. A generation that once shied away from sharing cookies with websites is now sharing its sensitive information, bank account details, and kidās potty colour with AI. It now knows too much. What if we turn it off for a week, and dare to witness us becoming human again? The circus would be spectacular. Sentences would proudly feature classics like 'did went' and 'did ate'. Presentation decks would eat up hours. Insights and forecasts would take days. Developing apps would become the new hot thing. Humans would start hallucinating. Surprise surprise. Did AI make us lazy overnight? Or did it simply expose how much of our work was already copy-paste with confidence? AI did not enter our world of ādeep thinkingā and corrupt it. It entered a world already drowning in mundane work masquerading as 'thinking'. But that boredom had a purpose. Blank slides, messy code, half-baked ideas, and unanswered questions forced our brain to sit, struggle, and connect dots. We embraced the boredom and let the empty spaces in the brain be filled with nostalgia, empathy, thoughts about nature, and how the thought about the gulab jamun we had yesterday would still make us drool. Maybe AI did not just save us time. Maybe it quietly made us dependent and killed our boredom. And the most uncomfortable truth is that boredom was doing its work too. AI has always been ready; but have we been? Umm, not sure. Let me ask Claude. If you spot any grammatical mistake in the piece then please ignore because I did went human again for a while.
