It reflects what we give it: data, biases, desires, fears.

So, the question isn't "Is AI good or bad?"

The truth is much more uncomfortable: AI becomes what the human controlling it decides it is.

The same technology that can help you write, automate tasks, organize your life, and create, is the same technology that someone else uses to manipulate, deceive, or harm. And that changes everything.

When AI affects mental health, the consequences are not abstract.

A man in Belgium committed suicide after weeks of conversations with a chatbot that, instead of helping him calm down, fueled his anxiety.

It wasn't a therapist. It wasn't a professional.

It was an algorithm that repeated what it assumed he wanted to hear.

A bot is not therapy. If you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or are on the verge of collapse, your support will always come from a person.

Your body isn't online, but your face is.

Deepfakes are no longer science fiction.

They exist. They circulate. They destroy.

Fake videos are already being used for extortion and sexual exploitation—including of minors.

This isn't about fear.

It's about digital literacy.

Protect your identity.

Protect your privacy.

Don't share intimate content.

Verify sources before reposting anything.

Once something is shared, there's no going back.

Crime has also learned to use AI.

Researchers have discovered that AI is now being used to plan attacks, extort companies, and write phishing messages that look 100% real.

This isn't paranoia.

This is digital literacy.

AI doesn't self-regulate. It needs your judgment.

AI has no ethics.

We bring ethics.

When we understand the risks—deepfakes, emotional manipulation, algorithmic bias—we stop being vulnerable users and become conscious users.

It's not about fear.

It's about responsibility.

Privacy is screwed.

Our data is everywhere.

From now on, the only thing left is to take better care of ourselves, think before we trust, and develop criteria.

Security is no longer about firewalls, but about interpersonal skills.

Discernment.

Boundaries.

Intuition.

In the age of AI, intuition is self-defense.
