Remember when the Internet wasn’t always omniscient? Once upon a time, the digital world was confined to a back room or a dusty desk, restricted by confusing wiring, and dial-up services started I was waiting for it to happen. We never went to school with our cell phones in our pockets, memorizing the bus schedule, our mother’s number, and the days of the week when we had to go to the valet line. You can also take a step back. even as The 2010s ushered in a revolution in the “smart” era.there was still a playful innocence to our use of technology. It can still be placed or left behind. But now it seems there is no escaping it.
There has been concern over the past few years about the use of artificial intelligence in academia, but what about the huge prevalence of artificial intelligence in the rest of our lives? Without recommendations, you won’t be able to type a simple email or send a message. We are bombarded with ads about how AI will “revolutionize” our calendars. Create a scheduleor even how it can be done count our groceries In the checkout line. What was once an “opt in, opt out” system now seems inevitable. It seems like every service and technology is deploying AI to improve our lives. And now it is Built-in features for Apple devices. The AI revolution may be touted as a revolutionary change that will empower and enrich our lives, but have you seriously thought about its impact?
The main problem with AI that I see is that we rely on it in frivolous ways. Sure, you may not need to know the population of Albany, New York off the top of your head or write every quick follow-up email, but the little things matter. but, Pew Research Center They have discovered that AI can improve our lives, but they also have discovered that AI can improve our lives.It threatens human autonomy, agency, and capacity.”
I agree with this concern, but am surprised that no one questions the obvious dangers of ceding so much of our own power to inanimate objects for the sake of comfort. credit card company Already selling purchase information For third-party advertisers, can you imagine what they could do to your daily schedule? Can I transfer all of my emails, photos, and personal information to a third party?
Besides concerns about how our personal information is treated, there is also cause for concern regarding our intelligence. A colleague once countered with me that using ChatGPT is good for teaching because it gives her time to focus on class instead of labeling homework as “busy.” I think it’s fair to say that the view of all and every class as “busy work” is more harmful to one’s own interests than indifferent. In any case, what kind of professional world will we have if we consider all work to be boring? Can we trust doctors who are too uninterested in research? ? Are there any lawyers whose time is too precious to consider law?
By no means do I want this view to seem self-righteous. a The study was published in the journal Humanities & Social Sciences Communications We found that the use of AI has a significant impact on laziness, limited thinking ability, and rapid decline. It limits intuitive analysis and critical thinking, promotes general laziness, and reduces the sense of fulfillment in life.
Overall, we firmly believe that the further penetration of AI in our daily lives will only have a negative impact on those of us desperately trying to reap the benefits of labor for minimal compensation. We must strive to reduce the use of AI and our lives, and actively reject any corporate attempts to normalize it. After all, what good is a beautiful eulogy or intimate letter you haven’t written, or a piece of art you haven’t even lifted a brush with?
AI may bring comfort to our lives, but we cannot allow it to become our lives. If every action we take was determined by something outside of ourselves, we would end up living our lives doing nothing, achieving nothing, and most frighteningly, experiencing nothing. will be finished.
