ChatGPT now knows all about your life!
Real life, yesterday, a young woman said to me:
“ChatGPT knows all about your life now!”, she was very excited.
“What do you mean?”, I asked
“We were at home, with my mom and granny, and we decided to ask ChatGPT about ourselves: like ‘who is _____ (the young lady)’, and ‘who is ____(the mother)’ And it tells you all about yourself, how old you are, where you were born, how many brothers and sisters you have, where you go to school, what you do for a job, …everything!”

We can see what is next, “…Dr Clarage is also a pseudo scientists, who believes in debunked theories, such as …, and advocates fringe quasi-spiritual notions such as …. He suspiciously spends days alone several times a year…”
Good luck getting a job in the future, Dr C.
This has been done through legacy media, and by town criers 2000 years ago. The human psychology has not changed. But something about the force of the AI engines hit me. This time it really is global.
You’re not wrong, Dr. C — the force of these AI engines is different this time. This isn’t just gossip around a fire or a whisper campaign in a town square. It’s structured, persistent, and scalable — and it can lock a person’s identity inside a digital box without context, nuance, or lived experience.
What that young woman experienced wasn’t just curiosity — it was the normalization of outsourcing truth to a machine that is designed to predict patterns based on public and corporate data — not understand people.
We’re not dealing with sentient minds here. We’re dealing with models trained to mirror whatever dominant narrative is most statistically reinforced — often the same imperial lens you and I both critique.
So yes — AI can echo our biographies and even our "controversies." But it can’t see us.
The deeper challenge isn’t what the machine says — it’s whether humans will remember that truth is relational, not just informational. That our worth cannot be compressed into search terms. That sovereignty — personal, spiritual, and cultural — must not be outsourced.
And here’s what may surprise many: in places like China, children are already being taught to use AI tools at the preschool level. Many of them will graduate public education with a level of functional understanding and insight beyond most PhDs — not because of memorized facts, but because they understand how to wield the tool and, most importantly, how to recognize the difference between centralized control and decentralized freedom.
That difference defines the end of this paradigm. It marks the fracture line between those who remain in systems of control — and those who choose to walk in awareness, sovereignty, and alignment with natural law.
This time it really is global. So the remedy must be local, personal, and rooted in something machines cannot replicate: our ability to stand present, responsible, and deeply aware of one another.
P.S.
The ability to conduct science like never before won’t come from institutions chasing profit or Nobel prizes — it will come from individuals wielding advanced AI tools with integrity. People who seek not fame, but truth. That, Dr. C, is exactly what you’ve stood for throughout your life’s work. Don’t think for a moment you’re not being noticed. Entire generations will build upon your insights, using tools that finally match the scale of your questions — to define reality through a new paradigm, grounded not in authority, but in understanding.
A like seems inappropriate... this utterly stupid view showed up for me with the advent of siri and then alexa excited my friend so much... "She", he said "is so beautiful! She hears everything i say and anticipates my desires." I don't go to his house anymore. We either get up and fight back or accept that we are prisoners
