How AI Changed The Way We Do Things
AI has brought us numerous benefits, enabling us to do things faster and more efficiently, bringing us one step closer to automation. Recently, I've been reconsidering the impact of AI on our lives—it's both exciting and unsettling.
AI changed the way
We access to information
Previously, Google was considered the world's source of truth. People browsed the internet, sifting through multiple links, tabs, and resources to find information. Search results were heavily influenced by the search engine's algorithms. SEO was fiercely competitive, often making it impossible for smaller entities to compete with giants, especially in paid positioning.
Now, we rely on searching the web with a single prompt. AI handles everything—from searching to interpreting and summarizing information. AI now judges content relevance from an immense pool of sources, basing its choices on its own configuration. This is concerning for SEO, considering that 80% of internet content was created in the past decade, and 60% appears to be AI-generated or human-paraphrased. Users of Arc Search or ChatGPT's new search function would understand my unease.
We associate technology
Previously, AI was the domain of experts who could code or at least understand machine learning. Now, AI has become a magnet for investors and users alike, driven by hype and excitement. With AI now accessible to everyone, its growth has been primarily fueled by enthusiasm. However, to this day, few people truly understand the complexity of logical AI and can accurately assess its possibilities, impossibilities, or limitations.
Yet, we tend to focus more on the fear of missing out on the latest AI news rather than considering AI as a subject for common thought and reflection. This is concerning, especially since, even in 2024, world leaders have access to powerful AI systems primarily driven by the funds they allocate. It's unsettling when we consider our current global crises for a moment.
We think about creativity
We all thought that poets, singers, painters or writers were more creative than others and passion was a primarly drive that career path. But now, we realize that AI can actually create and sometimes is more creative than us.
When GenAI first arrived in the market, the results were still weird. But now, after just a few months of self-training and self-improvements, AI can now produce effective
We interact with people
With social media taking up most of my thoughts, I can’t even think for one second that AI can’t beat that.
We deal with the truth
In the 20th century, news was spread on paper mails or newspapers. Only news agency were able to access to people. And gossiping was a primarly way to spread the original news and deform it.
In the beginning of the 21st century, with technology giving people access to live news, things are distorted everyday with the facts being tempored in our everyday.
The news machine is just another way to spread information. Nowadays, facts are fine-lining in-between the real events versus what people say.
