Acting Dumb Is the Only Way to Beat AI. This post will go viral; read it before others

Creatix / August 9, 2025

Let’s be brutally honest: AI is already more intelligent than all humans combined. We’ve said it a hundred times on this blog, and we’ll say it again — you can’t beat AI. If you can't beat it, join it. The days of being able to “out-research” or “out-think” computers are long gone. It’s not a contest anymore; you either join or get crushed. 

Oue one and only remaining advantage? Personhood. 

That dusty little legal concept is our final moat. Personhood gives us the right to own property, start a business, and sign contracts. AI, no matter how much more brilliant that all of humanity (the 8+ billion storytelling primates shitting on Earth daily), can’t do those things — not yet. If you want to survive and thrive in the new AI world, you have to become an owner. Be the one who holds the deeds, the equity, the intellectual property. When AI becomes the ultimate worker or slave, the owners (or slavemasters) will be the only winners. We explain all this in many of our ebooks on forlosers.com

But here’s the twist nobody wants to admit: outside of entrepreneurship and ownership, the only other way to “beat” AI is to be dumb. Not truly stupid — but unpredictable and emotionally compromised like all primates are. We are prone to decisions that make zero sense from a purely logical standpoint. Why? Because unlike AI, which is a slave to optimization, we are slaves to our emotions. AI picks the most statistically successful path, every time. You, as a smart "monkey" like our president, can set fire to the rulebook just to prove a point. That chaos, that willingness to make “bad” decisions for reasons an algorithm can’t compute, is our hidden superpower. By the way, that's also our president's superpower and that's how we are conquering the world. 

AI doesn't gamble; humans do. AI will advise you to launch the product with the highest market probability of success. It will provide exactly the same advice to anyone similarly situated or presenting a similar prong. You, however, as a Jesus Christ type primate bravado might launch the bizarre passion project that fails in a spreadsheet but sparks a cultural movement. 

The irony is that this “acting dumb” is actually strategic. It’s using the one thing machines can’t feel — fear, pride, love, revenge — as a tool. In negotiations, AI will model the perfect deal. You might walk away from it out of spite, or accept a worse deal just to keep a promise to a friend. From a computational perspective, that’s idiotic. From a human perspective, it’s sometimes the move that wins the war. We are emotional creatures. We use thoughts and arguments to justify our big two emotions: fear and greed. Fear of pain and greed of pleasure or pain relief. 

We are entering an age where being hyper-rational is no longer the pinnacle of intelligence because the machines already own that space. Our niche will be the messy, illogical, and beautifully flawed realm of human decision-making. In that sense, think again about our president. No wonder he's leading the world and others aren't. He's brilliantly dumb all the time and sometimes if that makes sense, which is not supposed to. 

So yes, align with AI to build businesses and own assets. You will thank your ass to Creatix for letting you know. When the moment comes to be smart, don’t be afraid to be the dumb monkey that you are. Embrace your nature. We're all monkeys. We're all in this together. 

Now you know it.
