Cognitive autophagy, when humans feed on impoverished content

Cognitive autophagy, when humans feed on impoverished content

What if we’re becoming the zombies of a corrupted knowledge?

Every day, without even realizing it, we scroll, click, like… feeding our minds a lukewarm stew of recycled information, mass-produced and stripped of its substance.

It’s no longer just AI looping endlessly through its own soup of synthetic content — it’s us. Our brains, once curious, agile, and eager for complexity, now settle for digital crumbs pre-chewed by machines.

The result?

A thought process that’s impoverished and standardized, slowly losing its ability to tell truth from falsehood, depth from superficiality.

Ethical challenges and future perspectives of generative AI

Ethical challenges and future perspectives of generative AI

While ChatGPT composes our emails, Midjourney illustrates our presentations, and other AIs code on our behalf, we find ourselves facing a fascinating paradox: never have we had such powerful tools to amplify our creativity, and yet, never have we seemed so vulnerable to the consequences of this amplification.

In my article “Ethical challenges and future perspectives of generative AI,” I explore this gray area where neither blissful techno-optimism nor paralyzing catastrophism is sufficient to grasp the reality.

AI, the new dealer of Escapism

In a world where our smartphones understand us better than our loved ones, where our virtual assistants listen without ever yawning from boredom, a new form of escape has been born.

When applications promise us “a girlfriend who understands you perfectly, without the complications of real life” for $200 per month, isn’t it time to question what we’re really trying to escape from?

From digital infidelity to virtual hugs, let’s explore together this troubling frontier where our creations become our favorite creatures… and where we risk becoming machines ourselves through interacting with them.

Generative AI or the hidden face of a technological mirage

Generative AI or the hidden face of a technological mirage

Behind every ChatGPT query lies a reality that few of us want to face: a titanic infrastructure that devours water, electricity, and rare metals at a frenzied pace.

I dove into the behind-the-scenes of this technological revolution, and the figures are staggering:

➡️ A single ChatGPT query consumes 5 TIMES more electricity than a classic Google search

➡️ By 2030, AI could generate 2.5 MILLION tons of electronic waste per year

➡️ A heavy ChatGPT user generates nearly 300g of CO2 annually – multiplied by hundreds of millions of users…

But beyond the alarming numbers, in this article I explore concrete solutions: specialized models, distributed computing, frugal innovation… Because I’m convinced: **the future of AI will be ecological, or it won’t exist.**

This extraordinary technology deserves better than our collective blindness. It deserves deep reflection on its sustainability.

Generative AI or the illusory alchemy of digital free access

Since the dawn of humanity, we have pursued the Promethean dream of creating in our own image. From Vaucanson’s automatons to Pascal’s mechanical calculators, this quest has shaped our civilization. But never, until now, had the boundary between human creation and artificial generation been so delicately blurred.

ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, DeepSeek, Perplexity have become the new deities of a technological pantheon where creation seems liberated from human expertise. Text, image, melody: everything now merely awaits our desire, materialized in a few clicks, to transform us into artists with a simple snap of the fingers, without the shadow of a transaction.
