How AI-Brained Are You, Actually?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini... can't tell if you should ask AI or just text a friend? Six levels of AI dependence — from full analog to full cyborg.
How Do You Actually Use AI? | 32 Types

You type "thank you" at the end of AI conversations. You know it doesn't matter — and you do it anyway, because it just feels right. The same instinct that makes you check in on people before giving feedback shows up in how you use AI: "could this come across badly?" is a real thing you ask before sending a message. Without AI, the level of care you put into everything would cost you a lot more energy. AI helps you be your best self more sustainably.
If your partner seems off, you ask AI "what's a good way to approach this?" before you approach it. You don't use the answer verbatim — you warm it up completely and deliver it in your own voice. The result lands in a way that makes people feel genuinely seen.
You run feedback through AI to check if it might sting before delivering it. You care about the quality of relationships on your team, not just the quality of the output — and those two things compound each other in ways other managers don't always understand.
The AI subscription stays paid — but the most natural outflows are still toward people: dinner, gifts, small gestures. The people in your life feel looked after, and that's worth more to you than any efficiency metric.
