Erik P.M. Vermeulen, PhD, a writer for Medium, argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly taking over our lives and work, leading to a sense of exhaustion and burnout. He expresses concerns about AI's growing influence, particularly in the workplace, where it is becoming more demanding and expected to perform tasks that were once considered routine. He fears that AI will eventually control us, leaving us as mere servants to machines. Vermeulen, however, ultimately advocates for taking control and using AI to streamline mundane tasks while reserving creativity and authenticity for ourselves. He emphasizes the importance of simplicity, focusing on what truly matters, and finding beauty in a life free of clutter and distractions.
