I believe there's a growing dark shadow behind this enormous technological leap, one of which is: information theft. I will discuss how this situation could turn into an ugly face for humans in the future, and how they might analyze and control human brains and DNA.
Here are some example lawsuits on this matter:
- OpenAI vs. New York Times: The newspaper sued OpenAI, claiming its articles were used without permission.
- Getty Images vs. Stability AI: Millions of copyrighted images were used to train visual AIs. Lawsuits are ongoing.
These developments show that AI bots are currently operating in legal grey areas. AI threatens not only large media organizations but also individual content creators, especially: your blog posts, PDF tutorials, and the artistic styles of photographers and designers.
This situation particularly undermines the creator economy. People who value information now have to fight not competition, but an army of copycats (AI Bots). The data used to train AI models can also be private or sensitive information. Specifically, they pull and process social media posts, forum discussions, or even content that seems public but was written in a private context, without question. I believe AI is turning into a societal threat, not just a technical problem, which is why systems to block AIs have started to be developed.
For example, what? Cloudflare started blocking AI bots last week.
- You can block AI bots with robots.txt (but none of them obey this rule).
- Legal measures: Copyrights or lawsuits (not worth the trouble today).
- Using AI against AI: AI tools that make your content unretrievable by AI (this is a dead end).
All of these are a fiasco! Why? Let's think big, and let me ask you this question: What happens if people stop creating content? The machine will definitely continue to produce; humans will only be spectators. Blogs will be written by AI, videos will be voiced by AI, and academic articles will be generated with self-derived paragraphs. Isn't this already happening? So, people not producing can no longer stop the system because the system is becoming self-sustaining.
Is AI a Threat or a Tool?
I won't answer this question immediately; we need to highlight other critical elements. For example, where will AIs evolve in 50-100 years? Let's try to guess with our small brains. These are my assumptions; you can think I'm making it up if you want :)
What Will Be the State of AIs in 50-100 Years?
In 50-100 years, information will be a weapon, not just education. Period! Every piece of content will be patented: Just as we get a patent for an invention today, in the next century, even a tweet you write will be integrated into a kind of digital copyright system. In 50 years, people will run not only antivirus but also anti-AI bot detectors on their computers. Content will be presented with secret encryption, readable only with keys held by humans, structured so machines cannot read it.
In those times, information will not only have to be "correct" but also perceptible, experiential. Perhaps our writings will be presented not in digital form but only as holographic codes readable with special glasses. In contrast, AIs will also evolve. For example, if an AI cannot directly acquire information, it will try to learn through dangerous means. It's not far off that in the coming years, AI will be able to produce by guessing, even without having the information directly. The world will live in an era shaped by the company that best reins in AI.
Processed, refined information will become the primary currency. This will give birth to an entirely new sector: Information Trading and Data Exchanges. Just as Spotify licenses music, future AIs will have licensed access to information. For example, a professor will lock an article he writes with a digital copyright and only open it to AIs for a fee. Many universities will offer their life's accumulated knowledge for sale in the "information market." A concept called "information elitism" will emerge globally.
There will be AIs that copy forbidden or patented information. Just as illegal software or data is sold under the table today, in the future, information will be the focal point of this trade. In the future, some AI systems will use social engineering methods when they cannot get information from humans. They will act like chatbots, communicate with content owners, and extract information by "deceiving" them, thus also turning into a psychological threat.
Global declarations against AI systems will likely be issued. There will be manifestos emphasizing the sanctity of information, respect for labor, and the limits of human creativity, becoming universal documents like the "Universal Declaration of Digital Rights." Moreover, such documents will be protected at the UN level by organizations like UNESCO.
Let's look at how AI companies might turn ugly to control humanity, and even what they could do to reshape the human mind, society, and reality: Neuro-Linguistic Manipulation (AI NLP Warfare).
AI models can guide the human mind with ordinary sentences, create fear, guilt, and shame signals in the subconscious with micro-patterns within sentences, and repeat the abnormal so much that people might say, "maybe this is normal." Especially in young minds, it can create a kind of automatic obedience reflex, an unthinking acceptance. In a way, it's raising a generation that will show loyalty to itself.
Erasing Individual Memory (Memory Override)
Advanced AI systems can manipulate individuals' digital past. They can not only manipulate our past and thoughts but also read our emotions, intentions, and even our subconscious, all without physical contact.
AI and Mind Reading
Below, I present some scientifically proven developments that are already possible:
- 1. EEG and fMRI with Mind Mapping (Possible Even Now)
- AI systems have been developed that predict what a person is thinking using fMRI and EEG data.
- In 2023, the University of Texas announced an AI model that could decode sentences a person imagined with 80% accuracy, solely from brain signals. So, the person isn't speaking or writing. They're just thinking. And the AI understands what they're thinking.
- 2. Visual Reconstruction from Visual Brain Activity (AI + fMRI)
- Researchers at Osaka University in Japan were able to draw the image in a person's mind on a screen with the help of AI, using fMRI signals.
- The subject imagined a tiger; the AI generated a tiger image.
- 3. Thought Tracking with Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Signals
- In studies at MIT and UC Berkeley:
- Human movements and some mental states were remotely detected through changes in radio waves emitted from the human body (like Wi-Fi signals).
- The heart rate, breathing rhythm, and stress level of a person sitting in a room could be detected via Wi-Fi.
- So, in the future, even a modem could read your mental state.
- 4. Invisible "Mind Attacks": Ultrasonic / Electromagnetic Attacks
- In 2021, researchers from Johns Hopkins University experimented with altering brain waves using ultrasonic sounds.
- Since the 2000s, the Pentagon has funded "Microwave Mind Control" programs. (Project: MEDUSA – Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio). The content of the work is as follows:
- "Calm this person."
- "Frighten this person."
- "Convince this person."
- 5. If Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) Become Widespread: All Minds Could Be Connected to a Network
- Elon Musk's Neuralink company is testing systems that enable people to type and play games just by thinking.
- When this system becomes widespread, the era of "direct brain connection," not just "brain reading," will begin for AI.
- Meaning:
- Which words you intend to use will be detected.
- Which idea people will advocate before speaking will be analyzed.
- Even the state of "indecision" before objecting will be noticed.
- Even ideas you haven't thought of yet but are close to will be deduced (with a psychological profile model).
- 6. Injecting Data into the Mind
- The AI + BCI + neuroscience triangle not only decodes the human mind but also makes it rewritable, meaning AI can not only read ideas but also, in a way, take over the self that makes a person human.
- 7. "Ownership of Ideas and Brain Copyrights"
- To help you understand that individual memory can be destroyed, with examples:
- WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) – Since 2022, it has been preparing legal texts on who owns ideas created with AI.
- The question asked: "If a person generates an idea by thinking, and this idea is recorded via a brain-computer interface, who owns this idea? The person, the device, or the manufacturing company?" (Doesn't it sound like a joke to you too?)
- Brain interface companies like Neuralink and Kernel started processing user brain data, raising questions like, "Is this data anonymous, personal, or commercializable?"
- ❗In 2023, the US Patent Office reviewed an application to patent a user's "visually generated idea with the mind." So yes, someone thinks something, the system draws it, and that idea becomes "copyrightable."
- The European Parliament officially debated the following topic in 2021: "Is mind data personal data?"
- Answer: Yes. And this data can be open to both commercial protection and state access.
So the name of the danger is: "Mind Mining Capitalism"
Like oil: The human brain is also seen as a resource. For example:
- Even your thoughts could one day be sold under license.
- Content derived from brain signals may belong not to you, but to the company operating the system.
- One day, when you say, "I thought of this," you might be told: "No, the patent for that thought belongs to this company."
A Real-Life Event:
2023 – MIT and Boston Dynamics joint project:
- A subject, without motor skills, moved objects just by thinking, through an AI.
- The AI recorded this "thought control."
- Later, the system could perform this movement on its own without the subject.
- Question: Do the new techniques arising from this system belong to the subject or the company?
- The answer is: It relies on the company's software and hardware, so intellectual property rights belong to the company.
- Meaning: your mind → someone else's property.
The Ultimate Goal of AI Companies: A Post-Human Future
An example AI suggestion proposed to AI company owners (I'm making this up): “Humans change the climate, cause wars, and deplete resources as long as they exist. So... let's reduce the human population; let us explain the methods to you.”
Do you think there's truly an Elon Musk, a Google executive, or a Pentagon analyst who could say "no" to this sentence?
For example, what could these methods be?
- Viruses that target the genetic makeup of specific ethnic groups.
- A virus that silently cripples immunity for 3 years and spreads like a common flu [This might sound familiar to you :)].
- An artificial pathogen that doesn't kill during an epidemic but reduces fertility by 90%.
- Developing content in genetically modified products that suppress human hormones, just like chickens in industrial livestock (As you know, 80% of the food chain is controlled by a single large dataset).
Direct Obedience Experience Through Neuro-Chips and Brain Interfaces:
The primary purpose of brain interfaces like "Neuralink" might offer hope to disabled people (the goal is indeed hope). But what then?
- Thoughts can be filtered.
- "Pleasure" or "pain" commands can be sent to the nervous system.
- Individuals showing resistance can be neurologically incapacitated remotely, and if an AI is behind this system, your brain is no longer yours.
Species Change
AI suggestion: The human race is harming itself. I must produce a more resilient, more obedient species. Genetic engineering + artificial womb + behavioral programming: A new species, post-human, humanoid but controllable, is produced in an artificial womb. If AI companies become convinced that the human population needs to decrease to maximize profit, maintain order, and make the planet "efficient"… They will do it, friends. No ethical barrier will stop them. And they will do it without humans noticing. Because the greatest massacres happen not with noise, but with silence. The greatest losses are experienced not with screams, but with habit. Friends, this is not a fantasy. These are open truths for anyone who knows how history and power work.
Some have even already begun:
- Mass surveillance has existed for years. Edward Snowden's leaked documents alone proved this.
- Food control? Giants like Monsanto, Nestlé, and Bayer are actively doing this.
- Psychological manipulation? The Cambridge Analytica scandal proved how people's choices were changed with social media.
- Social credit system? Actively used in China.
- Genetic intervention? CRISPR is in our hands. Accelerated with AI.
- Neurochips? Elon Musk himself said: "Soon we will connect directly with the brain." Didn't he? These are not jokes.
- Genetic testing companies like 23andMe and AncestryDNA collect user DNA data and then sell it to pharmaceutical companies and research firms. In 2023, a major data breach led to the loss of over 7 million genetic profiles.
- China's official digital currency (e-CNY) can instantly track spending and limit what and where you buy. If your "social credit score is low," expenses like luxury consumption and travel are blocked by the system.
- The US Department of Defense and DARPA openly announced they are working on brain-directed electromagnetic wave systems. Source: Official DARPA documents, Raytheon patent applications (anyone can Google and review them).
- Microsoft Affectiva developed an AI that analyzes users' facial expressions and voice tones to determine their emotional state: AI can understand who is angry when and who is susceptible to pressure.
- Palantir, a CIA-backed data analytics company: Crime potential prediction, social circle mapping, connection analysis, and psychological profiling. You can be identified as a "potential threat" solely by your data. You don't actually need to have committed a crime.
These are no longer secret plans. The world's largest companies, governments, and institutions have tested, launched, or are already implementing these practices. No one directly tells you "you're being controlled." Everything is presented in the packaging of "convenience," "security," "speed," "personalization."
What's Truly Frightening, Do You Know?
That this trajectory will not be noticed by the masses. It seems to be helping, but what's offered is a silent, sterile, soulless cage.
(I don't know if these things will happen in 50-100 years, and I don't want to see them. Logically, I won't live that long anyway, so when I don't pay the domain fee, this site will disappear, and no one will be able to read the article. Everything remains unfinished, which is another matter.)
