In recent years, artificial intelligence has infiltrated various aspects of our daily lives, subtly influencing the way we think and make decisions. From personalized recommendations on streaming platforms to targeted advertisements on social media, AI systems are designed to understand and predict our preferences, often reshaping our thoughts and behaviors without us even realizing it.

As we navigate this evolving landscape, understanding the implications of AI on our thought processes becomes increasingly essential.
