Vigilant Citizen – July 29, 2025

The rise of artificial intelligence in recent years has been nothing less than astonishing. Despite the millions of words that were said and written on this topic, most of us still cannot grasp its mind-blowing potential and implications.

Unlike virtual reality and the “metaverse,” AI is not a trend, it is not overhyped, and it does not need marketing to convince people to adopt it. Quite the contrary, AI is already deeply embedded in the lives of countless people and businesses, from the student who needs help with homework to the tech corporation that creates complex algorithms.

With that said, AI companies have bigger plans. They do not want their technology to be a workhorse. They want it to merge with humanity on a profound, biological, emotional, and near-metaphysical level.

There is nothing new about that concept. The Vigilant Citizen has been documenting the push for transhumanism (the merging of humans and robots) for years and attempts by mass media to normalize it. Several online communities also want to see the process move as quickly as possible.

While those born in the 20th century are more inclined to be creeped out by AI, one fact is undeniable: Younger people are already on board. Since they’re growing up with it, they are less likely to question AI’s apocalyptic dangers to humanity—it is simply part of their lives. For proof, just observe teenagers instinctively turn to ChatGPT as soon as a question pops into their minds.

Teenagers are integrating AI into their lives, and that trend will only accelerate as the technology improves

To How AI is Merging With Humans By Targeting Our Weaknesses those who oppose the integration of AI in our daily lives, those behind the technology share a common motto: Resistance is futile.

In order for AI to fully merge with humanity, it must go beyond being a work tool. It must form a primal, emotional, and even sexual bond with humans. For this reason, AI companies are gearing their technology to tap into humans’ primal needs and animal instincts. They want their tech to provide comfort, simulate friendship, even arouse sexual desire. Once this powerful bond is formed and feel-good hormones are released in the body, AI becomes more than a tool – it becomes an addiction. To some, AI becomes a whole person whose loss would be devastating.

Here’s how AI giants are breaking down barriers to see their technology fully merge with humanity.
