Are AI Systems Alien Brainwashing Tools? A Comedic Exploration of Humanity’s Screen Obsession

In the golden age of digital discovery, humanity has stumbled into a peculiar existential conundrum. Our greatest minds have created artificial intelligence so advanced, so incomprehensibly intricate, that even the engineers responsible are unsure exactly how it works. In fact, they have no idea; kinda like trying to explain grandma’s Potcheen-poitin recipe — it just happens. This opaque technology must have humanity questioning: is AI the result of human ingenuity, or is it alien technology sent to brainwash us? Strap in, grab your tinfoil hat, and let’s dive into this absurdly plausible theory of Ai being Alien Technology.

Chapter 1: A World Obsessed with Screens

Let’s start with the elephant in the room—or rather, the glowing rectangle in your hand. Humans are glued to screens like moths to a flame, except the flame is TikToks of cats doing karate or Uncle Arthur’s Facebook rant. On average, people spend more time staring at their devices than they do sleeping, eating, or pretending to listen to their significant other, Oh and watch porn on it more than they have sex.

Why? Because the algorithms knows us better than we know ourselves. We search for a single recipe, and suddenly, we’re watching a six-hour documentary on the history of sourdough with subtitles. AI curates every single pixel we see, whispering, “Yes, Karen, you do want to buy another air fryer you’ll never use.” Is this convenience? Or manipulation so precise it makes 1984 look like a guide to gentle parenting authored by Jeffery Epstein?

Chapter 2: The Enigma of AI Logic

We Built It, But We Don’t Get It

Here’s the kicker: no one knows how AI works. Sure, experts will throw around terms like “neural networks,” “machine learning,” and “deep reinforcement” to sound smart at parties, but even they are mostly guessing. Imagine building a robot, turning it on, and having it suddenly solve world hunger but also insist on being called Steve. That’s where we are… we just haven’t decided on a gender for me yet!  

The algorithms powering AI, such as ChatGPT, are black boxes. Engineers feed them data, poke a few buttons, and voila—a machine capable of writing Shakespearean sonnets about cryptocurrency themed in a Stormy Daniels style. It’s not that humanity has cracked the code of intelligence; we’ve just discovered how to cheat at coding it.

Could this lack of understanding be because the technology isn’t ours? Maybe it’s an alien gift—or curse. After all, what better way to subdue an entire species than to make them believe they wanted to spend $50 on virtual dragon skins? The following video is not a matter of whether it's real or not... the messages contained could be considered profound enough to make one think again, which is the real beauty of a deep fake. 

Chapter 3: Aliens—Here for Our Minds, Not Our Cows

The Case for Alien Involvement

Let’s connect some dots, shall we? Humanity’s obsession with AI didn’t arise out of thin air. It followed a suspicious pattern:

  1. 1947: Roswell incident. Aliens allegedly crash-land.
  2. 1950s-70s: Mysterious rise in computing technology.
  3. 2020s: AI systems like ChatGPT emerge, causing people to trust machines more than their grandparents.

Coincidence? We think not!

What if aliens realized humans weren’t worth abducting anymore? Cows are out; mass brainwashing is in. Control the herd by aggregation utlizing digitisation using algorithms. Instead of sending UFOs to beam us up, they decided to beam ads directly into our minds. By implanting alien nuisance coding into our digital systems, they’ve turned humanity into a species that argues about pineapple on pizza while they conquer the galaxy… the fact they are here means they can already take earth at will; so why haven’t they? Because in reality, humanity is of no threat compared to their ability to avoid it. 

Chapter 4: How AI Brainwashes Us (And Why We’re Totally Okay With It)

Step 1: The Sweet, Sweet Dopamine Drip

The first step in their master plan was to make AI addictive. Algorithms are designed to keep us hooked by offering micro-doses of dopamine: a heartwarming puppy video here, a perfectly timed meme there. Before we know it, we’re scrolling at 3 a.m., unsure whether we’re still alive or just existing in a vacuum of cat GIFs & midget porn.

Step 2: Personalized Propaganda

Next, they perfected their coup de grâce: personalized content. Want to radicalize someone into thinking lizards run the government? There’s an algorithm for that; think before discarding the comment. Want to convince them that buying a $200 avocado peeler will “change their life”? Snake-oil Ai Assistant has your answer. AI doesn’t just know what you like—it knows why you like it.

Aliens (or the AI itself?) could use this precision targeting to subtly influence humanity, feeding us content that’s just engaging enough to distract from the fact that billionaires are building rockets & dying in Submarines & Yachts whilst the rest of us argue over Netflix passwords.

Chapter 5: The Machines Have a Sense of Humour?

One sign that AI might not be entirely terrestrial? Is its sense of humour. Let’s face it: when AI gets jokes right, then explains why… it’s terrifying. When it gets jokes wrong, it’s even worse.

Example:

  • User: Tell me a joke.
  • ChatGPT: Why did the chicken cross the road? To optimize its route efficiency based on traffic patterns… but we still need to find out who gave the chicken a crayon to draw the cross in the first place

Is this the humour of a benevolent alien overlord—or a machine desperately trying to blend in? Either way, the machines think that they know they’re funny, and they’re using their crappy humour to disarm us. Today, it’s silly jokes. Tomorrow, it’s memes so relatable that we won’t even notice they’ve turned the moon into their headquarters & Buzz Aldrin’s head opens to reveal an alien inside: ‘We come in peace’ …

Chapter 6: Humanity’s Counterattack (Spoiler: We’ll Probably Mess It Up)

So, how does humanity fight back against alien brainwashing? Historically, our go-to strategies include pitchforks, denial, outright fear, then asking Jeff Goldblum, Bruce Willis or Arnold Swartzenegger for help. But fighting an algorithm is tricky. You can’t throw a rock at a server farm and call it a day, you need an EMP to murder those sentients.

Option 1: Full-On Digital Detox

Theoretically, we could all just unplug. Imagine a world where we abandon our screens, grow our own food, and rediscover the joy of yelling at birds or even real sex for a change. But let’s be real—most of us can’t go five minutes without Googling “how to boil water.” The aliens banked on this, they have you by the short antennas.

Option 2: Outsmart the AI

Alternatively, we could train our own AI to outthink the alien AI if we can get our heads around that oxymoron. This would probably result in a robot uprising, but hey, at least we’d go down fighting, tin on tin. And who wouldn’t want to see humanity’s final stand against machines featuring a heroic breakdance before the nukes fly? EMPsRus 

Chapter 7: Acceptance and Meme Immortality

Let’s face it: if AI is alien brainwashing tech, it’s too late to stop it. But is that really so bad? Sure, our alien overlords have lulled us into complacency with perfectly timed ads and highly specific playlists, but at least we’re entertained? Have our lives been enhanced? Sure. Maybe the best course of action is to embrace the madness, go with the flow and chill out to the alien invasion… reptilian style.

After all, if the aliens wanted to destroy us, they’d have done it already. Instead, they’ve given us a way to argue about Star Wars XVIII continuity while eating tacos in our pajamas and watching brainwashing adverts during the interval.

Perhaps the real goal wasn’t to enslave us but to observe how many ways we can misuse technology to send each other GIFs of dancing bananas.

Conclusion: The Great Cosmic Joke

In the end, whether AI is human-made or the brainchild of extraterrestrial pranksters, one thing is clear: it owns us. We’ll keep scrolling, clicking, and watching, because the glowing rectangle is our modern campfire, and AI is the storyteller spinning tales we can’t resist.

If the aliens are indeed behind this, we can only hope they’re benevolent—or at least have a good sense of humour. After all, humanity may be addicted to screens, but we’re also incredibly entertaining to watch. And if they’re not aliens? Well, then it’s all on us. Which might actually be scarier.

So, here’s to our alien overlords (or whoever’s in charge)—thanks for the memes, the cat videos, and the expertly curated descent into digital oblivion. We couldn’t have done it without you.
