Renard’s Warning To Humanity

Since ChatGPT caused a big uproar worldwide, a lot of people have been deeply worried about artificial intelligence stealing their jobs away from them.

Artificial intelligence might be good at the moment, but it is not good enough to replace human writers and bloggers.

Truthfully, I am not worried (Well, at least for now).

Humans Have A Soul

AI writers might be good at churning out articles at record-breaking speed.

However, they are sadly lacking in the experience department.

ChatGPT’s output reminds me of the kind of material that you would see in a boring textbook — the type that makes students yawn whenever they read them.

We human beings (especially bloggers) have a way of infusing our writing with our personalities; thus making our blog posts exciting to read (And that, my friend, may have a lot to do with us possessing a soul).

In all fairness, ChatGPT might be rubbish now, but it could turn out to be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

We Could Step Up Our Game

Instead of worrying about artificial intelligence making the jobs of writers redundant, we should step up our game by improving the quality of writing.

We human beings have the edge over artificial intelligence.

We are psychologically conditioned to adapt.

Also, a lot of us are competitive by nature.

So, instead of competing with our fellow human beings, we should come together with the intention of proving to AI writers that we are better than them.

The problem at the moment is that a lot of bloggers and professional writers believe that we are fighting a losing battle and we should roll over, play dead and allow artificial intelligence to be victorious (I am different; I am not giving up without a fight).

People’s Mathematical Skill Probably Soared Downwards When They Started Using A Calculator

In the old days (before the invention of the modern-day calculator), people were able to do both simple and advanced arithmetic.

Today, many of us are not as skilled in the area of arithmetic (We stifled our development by using calculators).

Now, I am using the calculator as an example of a device that aided in stunting our mental growth.

AI Writers Could Be Contributing To The Downfall Of Society’s Ability To Write Well

If people never learn how to utilize vocabulary, form sentences and write paragraphs, they would end up being clueless as to how to write an article.

Today’s society is very literate (Despite illiteracy being present in certain sectors of society).

Anyway, if we continue to allow ourselves to use artificial intelligence to do basic tasks like writing, our level of literacy could drop drastically in the near future (The last thing we want is a future where almost everyone is illiterate).

Dear friend, we want the levels of literacy to rise, not drop!

The Bottom Line

AI writers may not have a negative impact on society now, but they could impact society negatively down the road.

We need to think about the generations of people that will come after us.

If we become heavily reliant on artificial intelligence, we would be paving a way for less intelligent human beings; to put it plainly, we will end up with a dumbed-down society in the future.
