“AI is your assistant. Not your authority.” – Bruhad Buch

The Paradox of Progress

A marketing head I worked with recently said,
“I don’t write anymore. ChatGPT does.”

He sounded proud.
But something in his eyes said otherwise.
“I just tweak the tone,” he added, like a disclaimer.

In chasing speed, he’d lost his original voice.
And he knew it.

When tools think for you, you slowly stop thinking for yourself.

AI is a Mirror, Not a Brain

AI can summarise, optimise, even hypothesise.
But it cannot feel.
It can’t access your lived experiences.
It can’t translate your failures into wisdom.

When we let machines become the mind, we lose the muscle of meaning.

Use AI to sharpen your thinking. Not to substitute it.

Dependence Looks Like Delegation

At first, it’s harmless:
Letting AI write your emails, prep your decks, generate your insights.

But over time, you forget how to structure an argument.
You forget what your tone used to sound like before algorithms.
You forget that creativity isn’t about speed — it’s about soul.

Delegating to AI without boundaries is outsourcing your essence.

Redefining AI Literacy

Real AI literacy is not how fast you use prompts.
It’s knowing when not to.

It’s pausing to ask:

  • Is this task calling for efficiency or empathy?
  • Can AI assist, but not replace, my human insight?
  • Am I adding perspective—or just publishing faster?

AI should be a co-creator, not a copywriter of your identity.

The Human Edge is Still Yours

What AI can’t do:

  • Struggle
  • Feel awe
  • Have a gut instinct
  • Transform pain into purpose

That’s your zone. Your edge. Your human advantage.
Use the machine, but stay the meaning-maker.

Let AI amplify your ideas. But let you define them.
