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.

Soft, sweet-smelling, running a full authoritarian operation behind the warm smile. Gaslighting royalty. 'We're family' while everyone lives by your rules. The iron fist in strawberry-scented plush is one of the most chilling leadership styles in film. Reading people's weak points this fast is a weapon—and controlling a whole organization with pure people skills? That's top-tier management.
'It's all for you' is the framing while tracking every movement. The intent is genuinely caring—but the delivery suffocates. Pull back on the control and you become an incredibly attentive partner. The devotion is real; the approach just needs recalibrating.
Social skills maxed from birth. Wherever you go, you become the center of the network. Opinion shaping, faction building, knowing which line to align with—it's all instinct. In business, this becomes an unstoppable negotiator.
Money is a tool for expanding your circle. Picking up tabs, hosting dinners, gifting strategically—each dollar is an investment in loyalty. The ROI on people is the highest of any asset class; the returns come back in opportunities and influence that cash alone can't buy.
