Back in the day, people looked to priests, teachers, philosophers—real people—for answers about life, truth, meaning. Now? We’re asking TikTokers, YouTubers, and even ChatGPT what’s real.

We follow “gurus” who drop daily hot takes, let algorithms tell us what to watch, and trust AI to give us the “truth” in a neat little paragraph. It’s wild.

So what does that mean?

Are we replacing old belief systems with algorithms?

Is asking an AI for advice that different from going to a priest or a therapist?

Are we still thinking for ourselves, or are we just outsourcing it to whoever sounds confident?

Would love to hear what you all think. Who do you trust these days—and why?
