​"Don't use AI." It’s a command we hear constantly, yet rarely do we hear, "Here is how to use AI responsibly."
​Even now, writing this introduction, I had to resist the magnetic pull of ChatGPT. It would have been so easy to let an algorithm define who I am. And that is exactly the problem.
​The issue isn't AI itself; it is our dependency.

​Evidence from MIT indicates that over-reliance on AI leads to cognitive atrophy literally, a weakening of your problem-solving muscles. It’s "brain rot." Like a sugar crash or a dependency on a substance, we consume AI for the instant gratification of a finished task. But in doing so, we stop thinking. We become like Sisyphus, endlessly pushing a boulder up a hill, thinking we are making progress while actually stuck in a loop of dependency.
​So, do we ban the bot? Absolutely not.
​Just as we manage our diet or health, we must manage our cognitive intake. We need to move from using AI as a crutch to using it as a catalyst.

​I'm Joy. Join me on this journey. My portfolio explores a simple truth: True AI ethics isn't about restricting technology. It's about relearning how to think alongside it.
