According to a report shared by Futurism, 75% of Gen Z say they’d be willing to use #ArtificialIntelligence not just to help with career choices—but to decide their life path entirely.
A whole generation, overwhelmed by endless options and pressure to succeed, is handing over one of the most personal decisions to a statistical model.
The issue isn’t the #AI. The issue is a growing loss of confidence—in ourselves, in human connection, in instinct, in the freedom to change course.
A bot doesn’t truly know you. It reads you. And based on data from people “like you,” it recommends what’s likely to work.
But it doesn’t see the failures that shape you, the passions that don’t fit a resume, or the chance encounters that transform everything.
We’ve gone from “you can be whoever you want” to “tell me who I should be.”
And maybe the most disturbing part? Over 50% of respondents said they’d rather take advice from #ChatGPT than from a teacher, coach—or even a parent.
That’s a warning sign. When we stop thinking for ourselves in exchange for a precise prediction, we’re not just outsourcing a choice.
We’re outsourcing our identity.
