The Age of AI

 

The Age of AI

    Throughout this video, it left me feeling like we as a society have truly advanced. In many different ways, we can benefit and not benefit from using AI. For scientific advancements, AI is truly amazing. It has helped us develop solutions and ideas for saving the lives of Americans and other individuals across the globe. However, AI taking the jobs of hard-working citizens and people using AI to cheat is not what AI should be meant to do. 

Artificial intelligence is something we need to pay more attention to now that it truly is on the rise to being a threat to people's jobs and peoples education. Being a sophomore in college I've had my fair share of not wanting to do assignments. Just because I don't want to do them though doesn't mean I'd want to resort to using AI to write my papers. It's gotten to the point where professors know who's using and not using AI. As a student, we weigh the pros and cons of using our resources using an app like Chat GPT or any other AI website. The pros would be that we get our papers done faster, but some of the cons would be we aren't fully comprehending the material we're supposed to be learning.  

    Another issue with AI is the breach of security. We've seen this in the news with the whole TikTok getting banned news headings, just for TikTok not to get banned. What we can take away from this is the government makes empty threats. Sure TikTok is a little sketchy when you dive in deep about them but on the surface, it's a website for people to express their interests and to give people creativity. AI is something similar. It's extremely horrifying with how fast it's growing, it's alarming yes, but it's technology. We need to put ourselves back in time to when people were first discovering little things, like cell phones, before the VHS, and before that, colour TVs. It was all alarming to some people at that time but it's how the world is. We grow and advance the more we're on this floating hunk of rock and that's something we as a nation need to realize. It's not about how we handle things physically, it's about how we handle them emotionally.
