Age of AI

 

    If you asked me at the beginning of my senior year of college what type of technology is taking over in the next 3 years and what I thought about it, AI would not be anywhere close to my answer. That could be because I was not educated on it or that I was raised in private school so having someone else do my work was never even a thought. During my middle school days I had computer class too where we went to the computer lab on campus in order to even access the internet, not even thinking about the use of AI. This was the same thing in high school except we had our own computers but property of the school. So to think the advancement of technology in the past 5 years is truly insane for my 20 year old self. 

    

    Here I am in college and the world has been introduced to the not so lovely world of artificial intelligence which can do the work for you and so much more. In today's day and age, all you have to do is type in what you want it to do and within 15 seconds you can have whatever you want. It is crazy to see that technology has evolved to this point and that we are now advancing to where artificial intelligence can do people's jobs for them. And companies have realized this and have even laid people off and fired them because they can save money just by having AI do the job of many instead of paying many. Personally I am not stressed as I want to work in the sport world and what I want to do can't be taken by AI. But for others this is not a good thing at all. The rise of AI has truly affected them and will continue to as AI is only getting stronger by the day. AI, while it does have its benefits, could lead to a downfall of society in my opinion. 

    

    A downfall to AI is that it 100% makes us humans lazier. I'm sure that most college students can relate when they say they know someone who has used AI or Chat GPT.  AI does makes everything so easy and so convenient that it can take away from a human being's want to actually do their own work which is very dangerous. Humans need the want to do their work and take pride in their work or they will get no where in life. As we have discussed in class this half a semester there is student using AI to write a 300 word blog post which just blows my freaking mind. What pure laziness. The longer that us as society allow AI to do our work the quicker it will take over more then we want it to or the two expect it to. Then we will be in a world of just AI doing many different jobs and tasks.
