The real danger isn’t that AI is meme.

The real risk is that AI becomes useful enough to shape our lives, yet captivating enough to make people idolise it or blindly follow its lead.

When used thoughtfully, AI can streamline tasks, support learning, improve accessibility, and accelerate analysis.

However, if misused, AI can undermine critical thinking, spread misinformation, centralise power, and encourage dependence on independent judgment.

The key issue is not whether AI is a passing trend.

The real question is whether you are using AI as a tool or letting it shape your decisions.
