Does it feel like you’re always hearing and seeing AI ads? Well, you’re not alone. YouTube has begun showing a lot of AI ads recently. It’s always the same Grammarly ad or how useful Chat GPT is. YouTube really wants to spread the message of this new technology. But we don’t really need all of this AI. Humans have achieved so many great things without it.
Many great writers in history did not need Grammarly. Instead they learned how to use grammar. Many students use ChatGPT to do homework or assignments. The purpose of actually doing homework is so that you can learn things and maybe one day you could achieve something great. If you just give it to ChatGPT you’re actually helping it learn, not you. By using ChatGPT for your homework and not doing it you are cheating your way out of future success. That’s why ChatGPT is free so that you make the technology smarter, making the creator richer. So you are working to develop it and not receiving any money.
Having a computer that can think by itself is not really useful other than encouraging human laziness or companies replacing workers with AI to not actually pay workers. AI is set to replace a lot of jobs, according to an Article written by Matthew Urwin. These jobs will be ones like factory workers, customer service representatives, car drivers like Uber and taxis, graphic designers, and many more.
As a society, we need to focus on developing this world or other human problems instead of creating a whole new problem. Technology should not be advancing this much, because then what would our purpose be? Like the Wall-E movie if AI does everything then we all would be couch potatoes with no purpose. AI is not really an evil thing, it’s just the way people want to use it is bad. These ads are just advertising AI’s rise in taking over all of the critical thinking and the smartness of humans. AI needs to stop being advertised as a useful tool because in the long term it is not.
