Complete reliance on robots: good or bad?

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learner's featured post. Our world is evolving with each passing day, and slowly doing things manually is starting to look archaic and slowly becoming a thing of the past, as almost everything that goes on around us and in our world today is being operated automatically. The rate of technological advancements is turning things around. In those days, we had to do everything we needed to do manually and by ourselves, but today, with the amount of technological advancements we have at our disposal, we now have robots and artificial intelligence to get a lot of things done for us, and all we need to do is give the instructions needed, and they just follow them.

I traveled home during the Christmas break. Since there were a lot of younger ones in the house, my siblings, cousins, and other relatives who were quite younger, they did almost all the chores in the house, leaving little or nothing for the rest of us who were older than them, and this only gave us just enough time to lazy around. It was at that point that I realized too much free time will only result in getting too lazy and becoming too dependent on whatever is causing you to have that free time, and when it is not available, you find it difficult to sit up and get the job done all because you have gotten used to the job being done for you.

Now, that is exactly how it will be when we start allowing robots and artificial intelligence to do the job for you; you tend to become completely dependent on them over time. As much as this level and rate of technological advancements is good and has made life a lot easier, it comes with a lot of disadvantages. Since students were exposed to the magical things artificial intelligence can do, they became even lazier and don't want to do anything by themselves anymore. For many students currently, if it were possible for them, they would just need the artificial intelligence to actually read their minds and then get to work; they don't even want to be the ones to key in the instructions. That is how lazy students have become.

If there is a robot that takes care of chores and looks after kids, will I get one?

As much as these robots will help make life a lot easier and less stressful and give me enough free time to do other things, my answer to the question is yes. If there is a robot out there that can actually get chores done and I can afford it, I am definitely going to get one. I am not the type of person that loves house chores that much; if I can get a robot to help take that burden off my back, then I will go for it without even thinking twice.

As for having a robot take care of or look after my kids, that one is a no. For me, I feel having robots around kids is actually exposing the kids to danger. A robot's program can be tampered with even if they have been programmed not to harm humans. The day they are tampered with, they might go against that program. Even the little kids can actually tamper with the robot's program without actually knowing what they are doing, and if you are not close enough to save your kid, then the company comes and tells you how the robot malfunctioned, and then they leave you with your loss to bear. So robots around kids is not advised.

The AI thing.
Honestly, I don't know how mad I would react if I'm a lecturer... seeing students bring AI generated assignment 😅

Everyday we go to class, lecturers keep complaining about how lazy students have become and how they now depend on AI to get even the simplest things done for them..
