I Let AI Run My Life for 24 Hours

What happens if you let artificial intelligence make every decision in your day?

In this weekend edition of The AI Desk, Rowan Hale runs a simple experiment:

He lets AI control his life for 24 hours.

Breakfast.
Emails.
Productivity.
Social media.
Even what he watches at night.

Using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini (Google AI), and Microsoft Copilot, Rowan follows the “optimal” decisions recommended by AI — and quickly discovers something surprising:

AI is great at optimization.

But living by the algorithm… gets weird.

Very weird.

In this episode:

• AI designs the “perfect productivity day”
• An AI-generated breakfast becomes a nutritional science experiment
• AI writes Rowan’s emails — and they suddenly sound like corporate diplomacy
• TikTok’s algorithm decides how he spends his breaks
• AI even tries to pick his evening entertainment

By the end of the experiment, one question becomes clear:

Should AI help run our lives…

or just help us make better decisions?
