Warning: This article was co-written by an artificial intelligence. Or perhaps it wrote it entirely. By now, who can tell?

The great deception we tell ourselves

We keep telling ourselves that we will maintain control. That we will preserve "sacred spaces of purely human thought." That we will resist.

‍

But who are we kidding? It is already too late.

In 2025, "AI co-pilots" are not just changing business decision-making-they are making independent human thinking obsolete. And the funniest part? We're clapping as it happens.

‍

‍

The addiction we call progress

Remember when you actually had to think to solve a problem? What a struggle! Now just ask your faithful AI co-pilot. At first it was just for "routine decisions." Then for "complex but data-driven" ones. Today? Let's face it: your copilot makes better decisions than you in almost every area. An autopilot, rather than a co-pilot.

‍

One CEO (strangely proud to admit it) said, "I no longer make a decision without consulting ORACLE-9, our proprietary system. It would be like driving blindfolded on the highway. My shareholders would fire me immediately."

‍

‍

The tragic experiment that no one wants to discuss

A company conducted an "off the record" experiment: secretly disabling AI systems for 72 hours. The results? Almost total decision paralysis. Interminable meetings with no conclusions. Managers unable to interpret their own data. Three days of pure chaos until the systems were reactivated under the guise of a "completed update."

‍

The most common reaction? Relief. Not panic over the demonstrated dependence, but deep gratitude for the return of "support."

BlackRock: The future is already here

BlackRock is not the exception-it is the prototype. Their system of "augmented governance" has been silently adopted by more than 60 percent of global financial institutions. "Independent" human decision-making in the financial sector is now an anthropological rarity, preserved only for public relations reasons.

‍

‍

Resistance is not only futile, it is illogical

Those who resist AI integration today are seen as belonging to an endangered species-fascinating to watch but hopelessly inefficient. Like those who insisted on doing calculations by hand after the invention of the calculator.

‍

Companies protecting "purely human thinking spaces"? They are already failing spectacularly against AI-enhanced competitors. It's evolution, beautiful.

‍

‍

Because you will eventually surrender (and like it)

The most uncomfortable truth? When you finally give in completely to your AI co-pilots, you will feel a wave of liberation. No more decision anxiety. No more imposter syndrome. No more sleepless nights.

The AI systems of 2025 not only make better decisions than you do-they make you feel better about decisions that are technically still "yours." They provide you with elegant justifications. Reassuring data. The comforting illusion of control.

‍

‍

The future we are embracing

By 2027, 90 percent of business decisions are expected to be effectively delegated to AI systems, with humans serving as convenient middlemen to maintain the illusion of human supremacy.

And you know what the most exhilarating part is? We will continue to organize conferences, write articles, and give TED talks on "keeping the human element in decision-making" while our AI co-pilots silently write speeches.

‍

To resist is only to delay the inevitable. The question is no longer whether we will give in, but how elegantly we will accept our new role: that of fascinating biological interfaces for the real minds that drive global business.

And perhaps, this is the most natural evolution of all.

PS: Have you ever wondered if this article was generated by an AI? And if the answer was yes, would it really change anything by now?
