Artificial intelligence (AI) has soon reached a point of no return, leaving behind the phase of expectations to enter that of realisation... and dismay.Ambivalent feelings have dominated the debate about the centrality of technological infrastructure in producing information and supporting decision-making and planning.AI raises fundamental questions about the nature of cognition, decision-making and responsibility, which involve highly relevant ethical, epistemological and ontological considerations.The interaction between humans and machines, based on algorithms and generative models, raises questions about the exclusivity of decision-making and cognitive delegation, questioning the centrality of the subject in the process of knowledge and the ethical responsibility derived from their actions.The Massachusetts Institute of Technology published a study on how the use of massive language models, such as ChatGPT, affects the brain and cognitive capacity, pointing to the benefits of greater neural connectivity in certain circumstances, but also only superficial fluidity of knowledge in users who rely heavily on AI tools: those who use these tools achieve a significant reduction in extrinsic workload, but also engage less intellectually, which negatively affects the development of critical thinking and long-term retention (Kosmyna et al., 2025).In this sense, reaffirming thought as an exercise in existence today implies rethinking forms of communication and decision-making in an era of technological mediation, which is manifesting itself progressively and constantly accelerating.Descartes is revisited for a broader reflection on the human condition in the face of new technologies.While in "cogito, ergo sum", existence was anchored in conscious thought and the autonomy of the subject, an opinion article by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols (2005) highlights the risks of technological dazzle and excessive dependence on proprietary models.The author questions not only the technical sustainability of generative AI but also the opacity of the power infrastructures that support it.The illusion of autonomy attributed to the machine, in a configuration close to that of a memory prosthesis, tends to make
