The Experiment Begins
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—from recommending what we watch on Netflix to deciding what posts we see on social media. But what if I took it to the extreme? For one entire week, I let AI make all my major decisions. What to eat, when to wake up, what to wear, where to go, even how to respond to texts. The idea was simple: let AI be my personal life coach, and see if I become a more efficient, optimized version of myself… or just a confused robot in human form.
The Ground Rules
AI must make all my daily choices – I used ChatGPT, Google Assistant, AI-powered scheduling tools, and even some experimental AI-generated routines.
I must follow AI’s instructions (within reason) – No, I won’t rob a bank if AI tells me to. But if it suggests I eat broccoli for breakfast? I’m doing it.
I must document everything – Wins, failures, and bizarre moments all count.
And so, I handed over my free will to the machines. What could possibly go wrong?
Day 1: AI Turns Me Into a Productivity Machine
I woke up at 6:30 AM—because AI said so. Instead of scrolling my phone in bed, I followed an AI-generated morning routine: drink water, meditate for five minutes, and do some stretching. It felt weird, but surprisingly effective.
For breakfast? AI recommended an "optimal energy-boosting meal"—oatmeal, almonds, and green tea. Normally, I’d grab a donut and coffee, so this was already a step up.
Work? AI scheduled my day down to the minute, from checking emails to taking breaks. Honestly, I felt weirdly productive. By lunchtime, I had accomplished more than I usually do in a full workday.
AI: 1, Human Laziness: 0.
Day 2: AI’s Fashion Sense Is… Questionable
Instead of my usual black hoodie and jeans, I asked AI to pick my outfit. It suggested a bright yellow sweater and red pants. I looked like a walking McDonald’s logo.
I refused. AI adjusted and chose an “optimized professional casual look.” Better.
Then AI told me to schedule a 15-minute “power nap” in the afternoon for increased focus. I did… and woke up two hours later.
AI: 1, Me: 1.
Day 3: AI Ruins My Social Life
AI told me to respond to texts in the "most efficient and polite manner possible." Here’s how it went:
Friend: "Hey, wanna grab coffee?"
AI-Generated Reply: "Statistically speaking, coffee may contribute to caffeine dependency. However, social interactions improve mental health. Let’s set an appointment for optimal engagement. How does Thursday at 2:15 PM work?"
Friend’s response? "Dude, are you okay?"
I was losing my humanity.
Day 4: AI Chooses My Workout… I Regret Everything
AI told me I needed to “maximize efficiency” in my fitness routine. It generated a HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workout that felt like a punishment. By the end, I was questioning my life choices.
However, I’ll admit—I did feel energized afterward. AI wasn’t wrong, just merciless.
Day 5: AI Makes Me Socially Awkward
For fun, I let AI dictate my small talk. It suggested I use “data-driven conversation starters.”
At a party, I asked someone, "Did you know the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text?"
Silence.
AI, please stop.
Day 6: AI Orders My Food… and It’s Weirdly Healthy
Normally, I’d grab pizza or fast food. AI suggested a meal optimized for nutrition and energy levels: grilled salmon, quinoa, and steamed vegetables.
It was actually… delicious. But later, I craved junk food. AI told me to drink water instead. AI is such a buzzkill.
Day 7: AI Finally Wins Me Over
Despite some odd moments, AI actually made my life better. I was more productive, ate healthier, exercised regularly, and even tried new things. AI didn’t completely ruin my social life—just made it slightly robotic.
I probably won’t let AI dictate everything again, but I’ll definitely keep using it for productivity and health. Turns out, a little automation isn’t so bad after all.
Final Verdict: Should You Let AI Run Your Life?
✅ Pros:
✔ Increased productivity
✔ Better health choices
✔ Less decision fatigue
❌ Cons:
✖ Social interactions become… awkward
✖ AI doesn’t understand emotions or spontaneity
✖ No room for fun (unless you tell AI to plan it)
Would you try letting AI run your life for a week? Or do you think we should fight the robot overlords while we still can?
