The rise of #AI in the modern age has raised concerns about its potential to replace human

The rise of #AI in the modern age has raised concerns about its potential to replace human functions and efforts. While some see this as a thrilling development, others view it as a nightmarish threat to humanity's next biggest threat. #Artificialintelligence can potentially replace most #human #functions and efforts, with self-powered shops and lawnmowers becoming the new norm. As our lives become more demanding, #selfpowered shops and #lawnmowers will soon become the new norm, providing us more time to indulge in carefully curated Netflix lists created by algorithms.

However, as #gadgets become more #autonomous and uncannily #humanlike, the future of the qualities, #quirks, and #essence of what #AI seeks to replace is concerning. Being exposed to situations that are not easy allows us to grow, but this evolution will be gravely hindered if we continuously rely on a computer to fix our problems.

One such tool is #ChatGPT, created by @OpenAI in late 2022. This #AIgenerated #bot can produce #English #essays, cover letters, #poems, and emails, and even edit a draft that you submit and enhance your arguments, perspective, and style to create a refined copy of your work. The responses generated by #ChatGPT are eerily human-like, with an endless encyclopedia and quick, elegant responses. With a million signed up to Chat-GPT in the first five days of its release, the bot seeks to be the new calculator for writing-based tasks.

The rise in the #popularity of #ChatGPT presents a stark #threat to the future of #education and the development of #skills like writing and critical thinking. Anxieties of teachers have cropped up in the news, with article headlines like 'ChatGPT will end high school English' gloomily announcing the discernible #threat of #AI to devalue the importance of writing, analysis, and creativity. Not to mention the complete unfairness of one student laboring over a final-year essay while others score high grades with a computer-generated response.

With #intelligent #software and #hawkeyed teachers, this problem can be somewhat #avoided, reliant on extra funding and resources. However, what alarms me the most is the loss of skill that this 'advancement' in technology will inevitably lead to. Writing is a salient skill that helps us express ourselves and connect #profoundly with the world around us. It is the tool of philosophers, artists, activists, and diplomats that is centrifugal to social and political change.

Students need to take the time to work on their writing and approach to language and #communication, especially for those who struggle in essay-based subjects. The dependency on AI that will inevitably build up will drive students away from understanding how significant it is to develop an ability to construct their thoughts into expressive responses, use communication as a bridge, or keep flexing the critical thinking muscle so that they stay aware of the systems and institutions that surround them. Writing is an imperative strength that lasts way longer than the classroom does.

The rise of AI has raised concerns about the future of creators, as great art relies on human interaction. The Writers Guild Strike in Hollywood protests against the devaluation and replacement of writers in favor of AI, arguing that great art relies on the human behind it. A coalition of AI experts, including Sam Altman, CEO of Chat-GPT maker OpenAI, united to emphasize the urgent need to mitigate the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence, comparing them to the scale of pandemics and nuclear war.

One approach to the problem is to work with AI, an 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' technique. This is inevitable, and no one can stop AI. However, there needs to be a balance between developing and advancing skills without a robot doing it for us in 10 seconds. If problems arise in real life without the crutch of a bot, how will we communicate then? Being exposed to situations that are not easy allows us to grow; this evolution will be gravely hindered if we continuously rely on a computer to fix our problems.
