AI in Our Daily Lives: A Blessing or a Burden?

SOURCE

Sometime last year, I was doing my homework late at night when I got stuck on a maths question. My mum was asleep and my elder brother was out with his friends, so I didn’t know what to do. Then I remembered what he normally tells me , “Just ask ChatGPT. It will help you like a teacher.”

So, I quickly opened my phone and typed the question in. In less than a minute, I got the answer and even saw step-by-step workings. I was so happy that I finished the rest of my homework in no time. It was on that day that i really knew how powerful Ai is .

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is now everywhere in our daily lives. Some people say it’s the best thing that has happened to this generation, while some people say it’s spoiling us and making us lazy. For me,It all depends on how you use it , it can be a blessing and also a burden at the same time.

First, let’s talk about the good side.

When it comes to saving time and stress, AI does that perfectly well, With the help of ChatGPT , i was able to understand complex topics, get ideas for my project and check my essays.

Just the other day i was reading an article , i learnt that Doctors can now use AI to detect diseases faster, which can save lives. Not to talk about the tremedous growth experienced in the business sector,people use AI to create adverts, design logos, and talk to customers online. AI makes many jobs easier and faster to do.

But the bad side is that some people now rely too much on AI. Instead of reading or thinking for themselves, they just copy what AI says. This can make people lazy and forget how to use their own brains. In school, some students don’t even try to write their own homework again because they know AI will do it for them. This is very bad because it stops them from learning new things by themselves.

Taking away of jobs is also another major problem. If machines and robots keep doing what humans can do, many people might not have work to do in the future. That’s scary!

So, I own opinion, I think AI is very good if we use it the right way. It should be our helper, not our brain. Learning , work faster, and get new ideas, are some of the things we should use it for , but we must still think for ourselves.

I believe that AI is more of a blessing than a burden if we don’t misuse it. We, the young people, should be wise enough to use it well so that it doesn’t use us instead!

​Let’s be smart about it so that we enjoy the good side and avoid the bad side.
