AI Ain't Got Nothin' On Humans - It Wouldn't Even Choose this Imperfect Grammar as a Title.

It's been awhile since I've shared anything...even though the urge has been pressing me for weeks. Life gets crazy, and priorities take over. I know I am not alone in the battle to find time for all of my wants. This is why so many people are leaning into AI and other technology to get the job done. As someone who values authenticity, above all else, I find it hard to convince myself to tap into the resources that many others are using. Some may say my age is what fuels my resistance, but I don't think age has anything to do with it.

I have used various tools offered to me to get the job done over the years, without reservation or overthinking. AI is different. There really is no true replacement for genuine, organic, and raw communication - so to use a tool to speak my thoughts and feelings for me feels inadequate. Plenty will disagree with me, and that's okay, but I don't see myself ever being able to trust my complex thoughts and human flare to something inhuman.

I have found plenty of uses for it that don't go against my own values and beliefs however. I have used it for help designing inspiring images I can work from, because drawing has never been a talent of mine. I have used it to proof and edit content I've already created, since I work alone and don't have others to do so for me. I have asked questions that I simply didn't want to spend hours scouring for answers for...I mean have you seen how much information is on google lately? I've explored how AI perceives me, to test if it knows me enough to ever replace my need to draft my own writing. And honestly, it knows me pretty well.

Even still, there's a time and place for everything and I don't think AI will check every box any time soon. I don't even know how to exist in a world where people aren't speaking their own thoughts in their own way with their own voice. And since I know others feel the same way I do, I can't imagine AI taking over entirely like many people fear.

So with my opinion now laid out for you, I still want to embrace the uses AI can offer us. I asked AI to tell me the good and bad of AI. Below is what was generated, and I am not surprised to find myself mostly agreeing with the bad and disagreeing with the good. What do you think?

AI: The Good and the Bad

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—from chatbots answering customer questions in seconds to algorithms helping doctors detect disease earlier. It’s revolutionizing work, education, healthcare, and even art.

The Good:

AI can process massive amounts of data in ways no human could, making life easier and safer. Self-driving features reduce crashes. AI tools can spot fraud. Personal assistants help us stay organized. Businesses become more efficient. In medicine, AI is helping to design new drugs and predict outbreaks.

The Bad:

But there are downsides. AI can amplify bias if it’s trained on unfair data. It can replace jobs faster than workers can retrain. Privacy is at risk when AI systems analyze personal data. And there’s the big fear: we might rely so much on AI that we stop questioning its decisions, or even lose control over powerful systems we don’t fully understand.

Bottom line:

AI isn’t good or bad on its own. It’s a tool—and it’s up to us to use it wisely. By demanding transparency, protecting privacy, and preparing people for change, we can make sure AI is a force for good.
