Yep. Discernment, discipline, boundaries... Crucial, simple, and powerful for those who think for themselves. But not for avg. Joe who is addicted to almost everything. My team uses Midjourney before images get properly designed and pimped inside Photoshop. I used DeepSeek a few times for HTML coding and Linux issues, and it was really helpful. However, you must review each line of code to verify whether the information is correct or not.
A couple more stats I found fascinating shared by Evolving.ai on Instagram.
- A human brain uses 12 watts to think while an AI system doing the same job would need 2.7 billion watts.
- A laptop pulls roughly 150 watts and the fastest supercomputer burns more than 21 million.

You're right, the average Joe/Jane are addicted to a whole lot. It's important for all of us who want to retain our humanity to start thinking of a moral framework for how we use AI. I think there's a future article in that for me. I can't deny that AI has become extremely capable/useful/helpful. It saves so much time when used properly.
Those facts are fascinating. I think a synthetic biological computer modeled after a brain is the next logical leap for "hardware". The power consumption of the data centers just isn't viable to scale unless the data centers have their own reactors on site. A mini reactor might be the bridge to get us to scale until we can produce synth bio brains. Thanks for the link!
