GACKT Official X Update. Translation below

I was struck by some incredible news.

AI is taking on unsolved problems in mathematics, one after another—and achieving results.

Even Terence Tao, one of the world’s preeminent mathematicians, has expressed bewilderment at the sheer speed of this evolution. Furthermore, 25 recipients of the Fields Medal—often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of mathematics”—have sounded an alarm regarding this race to solve complex problems using AI. We truly live in an extraordinary era.

AI is approaching—at a terrifying speed—problems that humans have spent years, sometimes even decades, grappling with.

I have no intention of dismissing this evolution. In fact, I can’t think of a single reason *not* to use AI. Whether it’s deriving answers or extracting specific, necessary information from vast amounts of data, AI is overwhelmingly fast.

I use it myself, every single day.

Yet, the more I use it, the more I realize something: AI is excellent at providing answers.

But it cannot define for you:
“What is it that *I* want to do?”
“Where is it that *I* want to end up?”

Think of it this way: even if you possess a perfectly accurate map, it is still up to *you* to look at that map and decide where to go. And it is *you* who must actually walk the path to reach that destination.

People naturally gravitate toward the shortest route—wanting to get there as quickly, as easily, and as efficiently as possible. I understand that impulse well.

But in life, there are times when taking the long way around is actually better.

Besides, while you’re in the middle of a journey, how could you possibly know whether the path you’ve chosen is a shortcut or a detour?

The tricky thing about life is that the shortest distance is not always the best path. That is why, whenever I take on a new challenge, I first set a *deadline*.

And, among the things I could potentially achieve within that timeframe, I choose the most difficult one. The most demanding path.
The most troublesome path.

That is the path I choose.

Why?
If I’m going to spend the same amount of time,
I want to choose the path that offers
the greatest potential for personal experience.

That is all there is to it.

A day spent on an easy path is still just one day.
A day spent on a difficult path is also just one day.

Since it’s the same day,
wouldn’t it be better to gain
as much as possible from it?

I don’t know if this is the “right” way.

But,
this is how
I have lived my life until now.

AI is going to become
even smarter.

At a speed far faster
than you can imagine.

One day,
it might even solve problems that have troubled humans for decades
in the blink of an eye.
That, in itself, is an incredible feat.

However,
“Why do you live?”
“What are you aiming for?”
“What kind of hardships are you willing to take on?”
And,
“Will you keep walking without giving up until the very end?”
Ultimately,
these are things you must decide for yourself.

AI can provide you with any number of plausible answers,
but knowing the answer
and actually reaching the destination are two entirely different things.

You can let AI draw the map for you.
You can have it tell you the shortest route,
and everything else you might need.

Even then,
you might choose to take a detour—and that’s fine, too.

But there is one thing
you must never forget:
“Simply holding a map
won’t get you anywhere.”

You are the one who must walk.
And
you are the one who decides
how far you will go.
