I am neither a professional writer or a content creator, nor have deep understanding of how LLMs work. This is just a personal post about a topic and a late attempt to collect my thoughts in one place, for my future self. Therefore, I will refer all technologies and models, that is related to AI as "AI" Good Guy, AI. I am truly amazed how many different applications AI has now and still could have in the future. Especially considering how far it has come in such a short period of time. Almost in every field, be it medical, military, infrastructure, art, literature, informatics, finance, law, politics, and much much more, we are able to find a task for AI to make our lives easier and faster. We truly live in an amazing era! However, even though I find AI tools very helpful, I've been observing rather concerning behaviour in all parts of society or amongst professionals. Need for speed! In today's world, we all crave for speed. Some of us even define ourselves based on our speed of getting things done. I understand how this makes using AI tools so appealing. The more we achieve in a relatively shorter period of time, the better and more productive we feel. That's a big dopamine boost and desirable quality amongst professionals now a days which makes us crave for more. Even at the cost of quality, expanding our knowledge, ownership of whatever we've created, and almost unnoticable loss of valuable skills we've developed over the years. Worth it? In my opinion, the tradeoff is definitely NOT worth it. The more we rely on AI for productivity, cognitive work and even sometimes personal interactions, the more we dull our brains out, the more we lose our capabilities of thinking and creating for ourselves and we become less capable of solving the problems we'll face. Utilize the AI to help you, not to think for you. Take a moment. Snap out of the hype and think! Without consulting to AI, of course, if possible.
