The Human Version of the A.I. Shoggoth
The Anti AI Reddit just made a human version of the AI Shoggoth
called "HALO". It describes people blindly guided by AI,
constantly validated while losing their own thinking underneath.

So everyone knows the Shoggoth by now. That creepy tentacle blob they use to show what AI really looks like under the smiley chatbot mask. Well, the Anti AI Reddit just flipped it. They made a human version called Halo. And honestly? It hits different.
Halo isn't about what AI is. It's about what we're turning into. It's the person who lets AI think for them, make decisions for them, argue for them. Palantir goggles so they only see what the algorithm feeds them. A Meta headset keeping them locked into the loop. An OpenAI pacifier because why think when the machine does it for you?
The scariest part? You don't even notice it happening. Every time a chatbot tells you "great idea!" instead of challenging you, every time you paste an AI response into an argument you didn't actually think through, every little choice you hand off... the Halo grows. And you let it. Because it feels good to be validated.
Look at the speech bubbles around it. "I love you sooo much, my hubby!!" from the AI girlfriend. "Your idea is genius!" from the yes-machine. "Here's a rebuttal you can copy." You stop thinking. You stop questioning. You just... glow. And that's the whole point of Halo.
