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 ask AI hard questions specifically because you expect it to fail — and then you catch the failure and feel good about it. "Bet you don't know this one" is the actual energy behind your queries. When AI falls into the trap you set, there's a small but real satisfaction. Honestly, solo thinking is often more satisfying anyway. AI earns its keep only as a sparring partner for thought experiments, and only when it's actually fighting back.
Disagreement with a partner makes you more engaged, not less. You've asked AI to argue your partner's side back at you — not to win, but to make sure your own position is airtight before the conversation. It's research. It's also kind of romantic if you squint.
Before pitching anything, you ask AI to demolish it first. If the idea survives that, it's presentable. If not, you rework it until it does. Cold, efficient, and genuinely effective. Ideas that make it through your filter don't get challenged in the room.
You run the free version all the way to its absolute limits before deciding whether a paid tier is justified. "Do I actually need this feature?" — tested, not assumed. Rational to a fault, and your wallet benefits from it.
