All my past, present and future blog posts will never be generated by AI. I can promise you. Although I use ChatGPT almost every single day, for work and personal use.
Technologies evolve drastically nowadays. There are tons of new stuff to learn and adapt to - strive to adapt to different software, and digitalized environments... We, humans, have a learning curve. It takes time, while robots already learn faster than humans. So humans are replaceable by robots?
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
What is the role of humans in the post-pandemic and global boiling era? Especially it is the age when we get to a critical and challenging time where the intelligence of AI already outgrows humans.
I am always grateful that I pursued a career that generative AI could easily replace, in the first place. Creativity can never be generated by AI systems. Feelings & sensing, personal writing style, neither. These are the magic of humanity. Generative AI may write you another Shakespeare's literature, but itself can never be Shakespeare. AI system is good to imitate something existing, but not creating a brand new style fundamentally or even capturing the essence of a unique perspective, at least as of today. It is due to the fact that most AI systems nowadays are based on pre-existing data and rules. The concepts of "thinking out-the-box" and "breaking rules" completely contradict any computer programming.
To me, writing is a true reflection & expression of myself. I hope you can feel who I am, what I believe, and my point of view in my articles. "Cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am) was the French philosopher Descartes' basic axiom. If I stop thinking, I will not exist. However, the purpose of writing by generative AI is to provide information to make human life easier. As far as I know, current forms of AI cannot develop genuine emotions or personal experiences, not to mention they can mimic emotions though. What matter is how to this powerful yet dangerous tool wisely, but not be taken over by it, while ensuring not enslaved by its capabilities.
Life's a beach, enjoy the wave and go with the flow. True talent, the essence of human ingenuity, cannot be replaced by AI systems so easily, don't they?
