Currently, the “spring” of artificial intelligence is taking place. It is connected with the fact that people taught machines to “teach themselves” in order to answer our questions, play the games we created, draw. What was considered “human” has already become machine. There are many temptations that change, at first glance, our reality for the better. The text discusses several such temptations and considers the most likely “payment” for them – from a new slave ownership to a rejection of progress and the transition to loneliness, as a natural form of being. The texts reveal the essence of the choice that humanity will now have to make spontaneously or consciously.

key words: self-organization, artificial intelligence, neural networks, new slave ownership, the fourth industrial revolution of synergetics, the temptations of AI, risk management, anthropology
