The myth of the machine savior

In the face of today’s complex challenges, we often place our hopes in increasingly powerful technologies, as if artificial intelligence or other innovations could solve the problems we’ve created for ourselves.

But isn’t this a modern myth?

The belief that "super-machines" hold answers that we, as humans, are incapable of finding. As if the complexity of our own systems escapes us to the point where we delegate responsibility for our future to tools we’ve designed ourselves.

The paradox is striking:

We expect new solutions from entities programmed with our own logic, biases, and limitations. How can we expect radically different answers from an amplified reflection of our own patterns?

Technology itself isn’t the issue. The real danger lies in the illusion that it can think, feel, or decide for us. It may be more comfortable, less demanding, but it’s also a form of escape. What if, instead of looking for artificial saviors, we learned to face the discomfort of our own responsibilities?

Perhaps the true "superpower" isn’t in machines, but in our ability to rethink, question, and dare to see where it makes us uncomfortable.
