Too Much AI?
Actually, I've found myself thinking a lot about AI. It's literally everywhere now. It's hard not to, honestly. Whether you're asking Siri or Gemini why your plant is dying, or scrolling through social media and seeing art, stories and even faces created by machines.... it's kinda wild.
Why was AI even created?
I think at the root of it, people just wanted to make life easier. We've always looked for ways to work smarter, not harder. Why spend hours doing calculations when a machine can do it in seconds? Why not create a system that can make things easier for us? It started with the idea to help, building something that could support us
And honestly? It has helped
AI makes thing faster and more convenient. It has given students a way to learn that works for them, not just the one-size-fits-all school system -not everyone learns and works the same, so it's great that tech is catching up to that. It can help some of us write better, communicate better or run businesses from our phones. In a lot of ways, AI feels like having a smart assistant
You open your phone and your keyboard is suggesting whole sentences. You search for something and the algorithm already knows what you want. You hear someone say "I used chatgpt to do that" and you're like "Again?"
Yes, AI is cool. Really cool, actually.
When it first started becoming mainstream, I was kind of amazed. The idea of having something that could help you research, plan, write, create, felt great. And in a lot of ways, it is helping. It's saving time, solving problems, even making information more accessible
But here's the thing: some people are overdoing it.
It's like we've gone from "Let's use AI to help us" to "Let's make AI do everything while we sit back and relax".
Take students for example. I've seen people literally copy and paste questions into an AI tool, get a perfect answer and turn it in without reading it. No effort. No understanding. No learning. Just vibes and grades. And it's not just in school. People are using AI to generate blog posts, poems, social media content -and then posting it like they wrote it from the depth of their soul
I'm not saying AI shouldn't be used. I use it sometimes too. But there's a difference between using it as a tool and leaning on it like a crutch. If we're not careful, we'll forget how to do things we were once proud of -like solving problems, thinking critically or even just writing something straight from the heart
It's kind of sad when you realise that some of the most "authentic" content out there might actually be auto generated. That poem you cried over? That content that got a thousand likes? Might not have even come from a human at all. And then, they'll take credit and smile
So where do I stand?
I think AI is like fire. It can warm your house or burn it down. It all depends on how we use it. I don't hate AI but I do think we need to slow down and remember we're still the creators. The thinkers. The feelers. AI doesn't have lived experiences. It doesn't know heartbreak or joy or fear -not really. And if we start outsourcing everything to it, what's left of us?
Will I stop AI if I could? No. But I'd definitely set more boundaries. Teach people how to use it with integrity. Encourage students to think for themselves before hitting that "generate" button. Remind creators that their voice still matters, even if AI can mimic it
Because at the end of the day, AI is impressive -but it's not human. And that's one thing we still have over it

Exactly our dependent on Ai is becoming something else. If nothing it's done , we might loose it
Exactly my point. If only we could use it a little more wiser. Thanks for reading
I agree, I also think people trust it way to much. Like, a while back there was a trend of people thinking that Anne Frank was polish, and after some digging it turned out it was cause of AI mis-information. She was in a polish concentration camp at one point.
Yes. You're right. AI gives wrong information, yes. But some people are now too dependent (or should I say lazy) to confirm those informations. They just copy and paste because they trust AI and think it can never be wrong. Thanks for reading
Our education system is scarily deteriorating, unfortunately.
You're right. If only we could make use of AI a little more wisely. Thanks for reading
Artificial intelligence came into the picture and made life a lot easier than what we used to have, it might have it bad sides but I like it.
Yes, too much AI indeed. Way too much. I'll write you a PM.
