We always keep asking chatgpt strange or new things just to see what it will answer.
Today, I got the thought, why not give chatgpt such condition:
Prompt: If you were devil, how would you destroy today’s young generation?
The answer was heart-shaking and also not.
It was heart-shaking because to destroy someone, the devil doesn’t even need to put in
much effort. If he succeeds in hitting the right spot, everything falls into his grip.
And it was not heart-shaking because it all felt too familiar, as if something already is
happening.
Its response was:
Here’s how, if I am the devil (symbolizing evil or harmful influences), I might try to destroy
today’s youth:
1. Confuse Their Identity and Purpose
Make them constantly doubt who they are, why they exist, and if their life matters.
Use comparison, overthinking, negative self-talk, and future scenarios in their mind which
are never going to happen to create insecurity.
Make them think likes and followers are their worth.
My Reflection:
Doesn’t all this feel familiar to you?
Because many people are already trapped in this cycle. They doubt themselves before
doing anything like, maybe I can’t do it. They create such a huge mountain in their mind
that even the smallest task feels hard. In reality, they’re fighting a mountain they’ve
created in their own mind, that’s why.
And sometimes, it becomes a habit to always compare yourself, to not even consider your
worth. And you know what?
These things can be treated.
When we read or listen to something that has purpose, it helps. When we read it
ourselves, or make an effort to hear something meaningful, we keep reminding our brain
to not think in a negative way. Slowly but surely, the brain starts finding the right
direction.
I’d recommend reading the scriptures of your faith or self-help books – in your car, at the
gym, or even during walks. Little by little, it works.
2. Addict Them to Distraction
Fill every free moment with noise, endless scrolling, meaningless content, games, gossip,
trends so they never pause to reflect, think deeply, or grow spiritually.
Keep them busy with entertainment so they never ask: ‘Why am I really here?
My Reflection:
I think chatgpt made a really valid point. Because if your brain is always in consumption
mode, when will you even digest everything?
Do you remember the last time you just sat quietly?
We’re consuming a lot of information that’s not even worth our attention.
We feel ashamed when someone asks us, Did you hear what happened at that event or
that mall? That video went viral, and you don’t even know.
The reality is that many young people are wasting their precious minds and hearts on
garbage, and worse they think by watching this rubbish, they’re staying updated with the
world.
3. Break Their Relationships
Encourage broken homes, temporary relationships, and a culture that avoids real
commitment. Make love shallow, friendships fake, and trust rare.
Make sure they think loyalty is ‘old school’
My Reflection:
We now run from hard times instead of working through them. Trust is rare, loyalty feels
old, and real friendship is hard to find. But the solution is simple: Be the one who stays,
who forgives, who values real love, protect commitment and honor promises.
4. Isolate Them Emotionally
Even in a crowd, make them feel alone. Replace real connection with fake digital
validation. Let depression grow in silence.
Convince them no one truly understands them not even God.
My Reflection:
Your emotional isolation is more dangerous than physical isolation. You can solve
emotional loneliness with real people, real connections which are usually few and real
moments.
5. Reward Stupidity, Cancel Wisdom
Make ignorance go viral. Silence thinkers. Punish anyone who speaks truth.
Let their heroes be fools, and their elders be jokes.
My Reflection:
Let me tell you a short story:
One day I asked my father,
Can you tell me who was the richest person you remember from your time? The one you
used to hear about or listen to?
He thought for a moment and said,
No, I don’t remember anyone.
Then I asked,
Whom did you used to listen to in your youth or follow?
He told me about religious scholars, literary figures he knew during his Urdu studies, and
some people from his own profession.
He still doesn’t know the richest people of today’s era.
But in that moment, I realized that our generation forgotten who to follow.
We glamorize what’s trending. But deep down, we don’t even know who deserves to be
followed.
We choose our heroes based on their style, how many cool cars they drive, or what watch
or bag they carry, how many money they have in their bank account. That’s when we
become blind followers whom anyone can control, far from real wisdom.
6. Make Them Fake Online & Empty Offline
Let them build perfect online lives while their real lives collapse. Make their online version
full of filters, edits, lies.
They’ll be afraid of silence and allergic to real life.
My Reflection:
I think everyone needs a social media detox at least 7 days so they can come back to their
senses. They need to check what’s going on inside their soul, what they’re following, what
they want in life, and where they’re headed.
Spending some time in boredom can help them reconnect with themselves. Many young
people aren’t giving their brains and hearts even a small space to relax and reflect.
At least detox for a while to get your answers, see who really cares about you when you
disappear for a short while and also you’ll get many more answers.
7. Make Them Think They Know Everything
Give them Google, TikTok wisdom, and fake confidence. Make them unteachable so they
never grow.
Knowledge without humility leads straight to arrogance and then destruction.
My Reflection:
Do you know the difference between a wise person and a foolish one?
A wise man knows he knows nothing and a fool thinks he knows everything.
The worst part of today’s generation is that their source of knowledge is Instagram reels
and TikTok.
What depth can a 30-second video offer?
Even a person who reads many books can’t claim to know everything or believe that what
they read is 100% accurate.
Why? Because the world is full of misinformation.
And social media is the biggest tool for misinformation. We have to be very conscious,
Dear people to make sure we’re not unintentionally spreading false ideas or beliefs,
because those words could become the reason someone else gets hurt even more.
8. Make Them Loud About Injustice But Quiet About Their Own Sins
Let them scream about politics, gender, and rights But never fix their character, lies,
backbiting, or pride.
Let them be warriors online, but cowards in their own hearts.
My Reflection:
Correction and fixing always starts within ourselves. Your words won’t have impact if you
yourself don’t walk the right path.
9. Fill Their Heads, Starve Their Souls
Give them books, degrees, certificates but no character. Let them learn everything about
the world except about themselves or their Creator.
Smart brains. Dead hearts.
My Reflection:
The biggest tragedy of a human is they may read tons of books, gain great knowledge,
know the truth and still remain misguided. The path to the soul starts from the heart;
when a person reflects, thinks, and ponders.
You can be the best doctor in a world and still blindly follow nonsense ideas if you don’t
think for yourself.
You can be a top engineer and still believe baseless things if someone tells you to.
In the end, you have to use your own brain.
Let me give you an example:
Suppose a well-known doctor writes a book on the benefits of alcohol. He gives many
reasons, proves it makes the body warm, and lists 100 benefits.
And you start thinking, okay, maybe alcohol is good for my health.
Then another doctor comes and writes another detailed book about the dangers of
alcohol. With facts and logic, he also proves how harmful it is.
So, whom will you believe?
There, you have to use your own brain.
You can use your own experience, or ask someone in your circle who used to drink, how
are they doing in life? You can read more books and listens to more perspectives.
By comparing both, your brain will arrive at the truth, that it’s harmful for your health.
In the end, it’s you who decides. If you’re a good person, you’ll choose what benefits you
and doesn’t harm others even if you’re not religious.
