Between curiosity and fear

Between curiosity and fear

I’ve tried some of the new tools. Just experiments—simple code completions, language prompts, nothing sensitive.

And I’ll admit it: they’re impressive. The responses are quick, fluent, almost human.

But every keystroke feels like a confession. Feeding input to a machine is a leap of trust, and trust is something I no longer give easily.

I can’t tell if my hesitation is paranoia or wisdom. Maybe both.

The truth is, I want to believe in these systems. I want to believe they can help us build, not bind us. But every time I press enter, I hear Maynet breathing in the silence.

Input: “write hello”
Output: “hello”
Feeling: unease

Curiosity keeps me typing. Fear keeps me awake.
