You will very well agree with me if I say AI is everywhere today. You can find AI literally on anything, your WhatsApp, the keyboards, filters, cameras, search engines and all. It's really shocking and amazing to see how far we've come, back then it was all about torchlight phones, but now, its totally different, everyone who has that is probably using it as a second/call phone.
We've gone really really digital and artificial intelligence has gone really far, it's very obvious. Now, the question is why was AI created in the first place? And here's my own honest and simple answer...: to make life easier. That's, it's created to ease stress, assist our efforts, help solve problems very fast, fix mistakes/inefficiencies we as human atimes create...all in all it was created to make things more easier for us.
It seems it started with calculations and stuffs, but now, its even mimicking the human brain, it has now entered into our conversations, our art, our schools, our works and even our emotions. I have a friend who has turned her meta AI on WhatsApp into a very close friend, she literally shares everything with it, it's somehow frightening how we are starting to replace humans.
Of a truth I can't deny the fact that it is good, it has helped me in lot of ways too, I am even about to start something, something like studying it, I am a very curious person, there's a lot to AI this day, it can literally help do anything, how possible, recently I watched a video of a guy showing people how a certain thing is being done on chatgpt provided you follow certain prompts.....
Still, it scares me, more like we are feeding something we might not be able to really control. I have people losing their jobs, now there's what we call deepfakes and fake voices, they would so well mimick real people and even do certain things that the person did not. It's so scary, students also are now relying so much on AI that they forgot they could think or do certain things themselves.
The worst part for me is, we don't think, question or double check this things, we believe anything. It's so worrisome how we've stopped doing that which makes us human....thinking for ourselves. AI is definitely helping, my point is there's the need for balance and we checking ourselves. There's the need for boundaries, rules, and a sense of accountability in how it's(AI) been use.
Also, I believe AI is not the problem, the problem is we the users. It should be controlled. I am not rooting for AI is good, neither am I for AI is bad, am in between. AI is good reduces stress, helps communications, bring ideas, solve problems and all, but it can also widen the gap between the digitally literate and the rest.
And from my own point of view, AI might get to a point where we won't be able to catch up with it anymore, and by then I pray it hasn't replaced us all yet. We are benefiting from it in real life changing ways, it's very obvious. So, for me, AI has both sides, the good and the bad, we are evolving it's good, so, the debate is not to stop it, but it's about putting it in check and guiding it as it is a very powerful tool we need to wield with caution.

Your perspective on AI is so balanced and refreshing. I love how you acknowledged both the immense benefits and the serious concerns that come with it. You're absolutely right -AI isn't the problem, it's how we use it. The example of your friend bonding with a chatbot really highlights how deeply AI is integrating into our emotional lives. And yes, we're evolving, but your call to accountability, boundaries and human criteria thinking is on spot. This post made me reflect a lot. Thanks for sharing
I'm glad it resonated with you...
How we choose to integrate it into our lives is what really matters, and about my friend, we've talked a lot about it, and now, there's changes....
Thanks for your thoughtful engagement.

Just like you said, the problem is the users. Well done @marsdave, I enjoyed reading through your post, and I absolutely agree with you; AI is not the problem
Thanks a lot for relating and agreeing with me.
Very well appreciated.

AI was born to augment human capacity, simplify life, solving the complex problem. Yet, this ease triggers a paradox-- by outsourcing effort, do we enhance our freedom or risk losing it.
Authenticity in the digital world power by AI has been degenerated into a series of clickable interactions. It blurs the line between human and machine, it blurs the line between authenticity and artificial.
The problems seems to have gone overboard. Over-reliance on AI now risks dulling our critical thinking. If we stop questioning or double-checking, we surrender our role as active thinkers-- where are we heading to.........
Sooooo right..
We've been relying too much on AI, and it's becoming to make us less human and lazy thinker.
A balance is definitely needed.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.

Artificial adds to very little of the problem, the whole problem actually depends on the user.
Exactly... That's why I said we(the users) really need to put ourselves in check.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
