Tiny experiment.
Very large shadow.
How to use AI without handing it the steering wheel.
Now let's make this practical, because it is one thing to hear Eliezer Yudkowsky warn about superintelligence, and another thing entirely to open ChatGPT on a Monday morning and ask it to fix your newsletter headline.
The first rule is simple.
Never give AI a goal without boundaries.
If you ask an AI tool to make this more persuasive, also tell it what not to do.
Do not exaggerate.
Do not invent facts.
Do not use fake urgency.
Do not manipulate fear.
Persuasive is fine.
Creepy sales goblin is not.
The second rule, always ask, what could go wrong if this works too well?
That is a very Yudkowsky-style question.
If an AI optimizes engagement, maybe it creates outrage.
If it reduces support tickets, maybe it hides customer frustration.
If it speeds up hiring, maybe it repeats bias faster.
If it writes content at scale, maybe it floods your brand with polished emptiness.
Very efficient emptiness, but still emptiness.
