AI Was Created to Help Us, Not Replace Us.

Today, we're talking about artificial intelligence, and honestly, it is just so interesting and lovely, you know, seeing how much technology has changed and all. Today, we have artificial intelligence creating articles, generating images, answering questions, helping us solve problems, and making things easier for us to do. Some things that felt impossible some years back are now possible; things that often took us hours to do some years back can no longer be done in the space of a minute... And isn't that fascinating?

And even though it is interesting, it is very important to also ask how much of our lives and things we do or ought to do we're handing over to a machine to help do. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to see and make use of something that makes your work easier, but then some things ought to be done by us.

And even if it would be done or used in some things, it should also be from us, not allowing it to do the thinking, the writing, and all for us while we just sit down doing nothing or just copy and paste.... Imagine using AI to write comforting words to someone. How would it understand it? Does AI know how it feels to lose someone, or when you write a love message to someone, did AI really or actually understand or comprehend how you feel and your emotions that would have been lovely to include in those words?

I'm not against AI; I very well make use of it too, but we should always remember that it is a tool; it is meant to serve us and not the other way round, as we're unconsciously giving it total control over things, but we think we're only making things easier for ourselves.

Because at the end of the day, if tech/AI ends up being capable of doing everything for us, what exactly would remain exclusively us/human?

I agree with this. The tools help me finish the boring parts faster — checking numbers, cleaning up my notes — but the thinking part is still mine. Used as a helper, it makes life easier. Used as a replacement for thinking, that is where the problem starts.

The condolence message bit is the one that stayed with me. A machine can put the right words in the right order, but it has never sat with someone who just lost a person they loved, and the person reading it can feel that gap. I use AI plenty myself, for the boring bits, the drafting, the sorting. But the thinking and the feeling parts, those I want to keep mine.

Your last line is the one I keep coming back to: if AI ends up doing everything for us, what exactly would remain exclusively us? I think the answer is the wanting itself. We still choose what matters, even when a machine does the work.

Ironic, given you used an Ai thumbnail. FFS>

the comforting words example really hits. i can't imagine getting "sorry for your loss" from a friend and finding out a chatbot wrote it. it's not even the words, it's that the person didn't bother sitting with the feeling long enough to say something themselves. that's the part we'd lose.
