The Human-AI Use Survey

What are we still choosing to do ourselves?

As AI becomes capable of doing more for us, this anonymous survey explores what people delegate to AI and what they deliberately keep human.

Take my anonymous 2-minute survey and see how your answers compare with everyone else.

1. How often do you currently use AI?
2. What do you primarily use AI for? (Select all that apply)
3. Which things do you now use AI to do that you previously did yourself? (Select all that apply)
4. Which do you still prefer to do yourself, even when AI could do them? (Select all that apply)
5. Has using AI changed your ability to do things yourself?
6. Are there things you now feel less capable of doing without AI?
7. If AI disappeared tomorrow, how confident would you be doing the things you currently use it for yourself?
8. When you encounter a difficult problem, what do you usually do first?
9. Have you ever asked AI for an answer before thinking through the problem yourself, simply because it was faster?
10. Have you ever deliberately avoided using AI because you wanted to think, learn, or practice something yourself?
11. Do you think you rely on AI more than you intended to?
12. If AI became unavailable tomorrow, how disruptive would that be to your daily life?

13. What’s one thing you never want AI to replace?

This survey does not ask for your name or email address. Responses are stored without direct personal identifiers and used only for aggregate results and research published on RhysKeller.com.

Explore AI & Human Judgment

Your answers are part of an ongoing look at how people are adapting to increasingly capable AI. If these questions made you think, explore some of the ideas behind the survey.

The Difference Between Information and Wisdom – AI makes information abundant, but information isn’t the same as wisdom.

Don’t Preserve Mistakes. Preserve Humanity – What should we continue practicing ourselves as AI becomes capable of doing more?

Should You Trust AI for Life Advice? – Where AI is useful, where it falls short, and why it shouldn’t replace human judgment or lived experience.

Responsible Freedom – The overarching framework that ties these ideas and many others together.
