AI & Beyond

Why Work Harder When You Can Work Smarter? Let's be frank: Nobody intends to work long hours in boring and redundant work. Ironically, all of these tasks could have been automated ages ago. If you are still scrolling through emails, trying to organize meetings, or performing data entry between Excel worksheets, you are practically wasting your time. This is where automation powered by artificial intelligence becomes valuable. The purpose of AI is not to wipe out humans. It removes timesinks and allows you to focus on the things that truly deserve your attention, like creativity, strategy, and decision-making. Unfortunately, most clients still hesitate to adopt automation due to fear of losing control or facing unwanted difficulty. However, the efficiency of AI entirely depends on your desired outcome. By making the correct decisions, you can make yourself irreplaceable instead of being outpaced by AI. What Should You Automate? (And What You Shouldn't) Before applying AI sol...

Why do we choose to fear the unknown? New innovations and wonders have always been met with some skepticism. AI is simply falling in line with everything else throughout history. Stop and think for a second about how people feared the Internet, the printing press, and even electricity. Now, it is artificial intelligence's turn to become the new industry villain. Machines are transforming the modern world and are scarily redefining the very concept of human identity. Why do people feel so desperate when we discuss AI? Do we dislike it simply because understanding how it operates is mind-boggling? Or is it a shocking truth? Usually, if a machine begins to make certain decisions on its own, it begins to feel like a portion of our control is slowly fading. That's a very unsettling thought. AI makes us rethink our perceived grasp of reality. That statement right there is disturbing. How Humans Mismanage AI And Its Consequences Fictional scenarios of machines going rogue should n...

The Great Leap Forward: How AI Redefines Human Work The AI revolution feels like a new wave hitting, which you have no prep for, and let's be honest, it's scary. We have known for some time that automation would eventually come for assembly lines, but once AI starts to write bestselling novels, diagnose the most complex medical conditions, or even design multimillion-dollar buildings, you need to pause for a second because that is deeper than it looks. I've had the fortune (or misfortune) of seeing this shift take place. An artist friend of mine used to snicker at anything tech-related. Now, AI generates jaw-dropping visual ideas, which he cleans up using traditional techniques. A data analyst friend of mine spends most of his time confirming AI-generated reports instead of having fun analyzing them. The world we once knew is disappearing in front of our eyes, which is alarming. And why wouldn't it be? After developing a skill for years, witnessing algorithms perform i...

Disrupted But Not Deleted: A Look Into The Future of Creativity We've all heard about the emergence of AI-generated art, music, and literature. Some people are amazed and view it as a revolutionary invention, while others are more cynical and see it as a threat to human creativity. Recently, AI-generated content has flooded the digital space, making waves in streaming services and art auctions. While such technological progress is awe-inspiring, it raises the question of whether we're truly viewing the death of creativity or witnessing yet another evolution in how we create. AI does not come up with content because it had an epiphany while sleeping. It is not generated because there is a desire to make it but because an algorithm dictates it to do so. That questions whether we are dealing with pure creativity or a mere act. All these concerns aside, AI comes with numerous benefits, many undeniably appealing. It enables the rapid creation of new and original pieces of art and l...

The Myth of AI Thinking Like Humans: Why It's Exaggerated Over and over, it has recently been argued that AI systems are rapidly growing to the point where they can think and reason like humans on a basic level. Is this really accurate? Every few months, some self-proclaimed experts in technology claim that AI "thinks" or "reasons" just like a human does. Once again, the world is buzzing with talk of the future of AI. Do editors say such things only to get clicks? This is what most modern people have come to believe. Here is the thing, though: AI does not think. At least not in the way we all do. The gap between what machine learning can achieve AI-wise and what philosophy demands is still extensive. We humans engage in philosophical thinking beyond mere logic and linguistics. It is chaotic, reflective, and often motivated by instinct and personal history. AI? Not so much. Sure, upon request, it can provide an astonishingly good impression of a Nietzsche-styled...

Why Write About AI at All? People have talked about AI more than necessary. We listen to podcasts, read about them in headlines, and observe their presence in different industries. Most of what you read about AI is nothing but fear tactics or just another marketing appeal from a company. Everything about AI sounds like it is either going to take away all the jobs and turn us into enslaved people or save humanity from all the issues that exist. Both of these assumptions are awful; honestly, none of them is accurate. Thus, what's the purpose of this blog? AI should be analyzed in depth, accompanied by reality and, most validly, with truth. It is not a distant idea that is shaping the world currently. AI is embedded in daily human lives whether one wants to accept it or not. And that's what greatly interests me. Looking Through the Critical Lens: AI Does Not Have Magical Powers AI is something that people love to mystify. They like to describe it as an autonomous entity with c...
