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 treat AI less like a tool and more like an opponent you're trying to out-argue. Stuck in a brainstorm? Open AI, ask if your idea holds up, and when it agrees, immediately go looking for the counterargument. You're here for the intellectual friction, not emotional support — AI gets closed the second it stops being stimulating. When AI comes back with an angle you genuinely didn't see coming, that's when you light up. Adversarial by design, and proud of it.
Disagreements with a partner are genuinely more exciting than agreement. You've literally asked AI to argue your partner's side so you could pressure-test your own logic before the conversation. Unconventional? Sure. Effective? Absolutely.
Before any big pitch, you run your ideas through AI combat first. If an argument survives AI pushback, it's worth presenting. If not, back to the drawing board. AI is your idea stress-tester — not a yes-machine, and that's exactly the point.
You'll try every new AI tool that catches your eye, but paid subscriptions only happen after rigorous self-experimentation. "Does this actually move the needle for me?" is the question — and you run the test before you run the card.
