Don’t look here and there. You read it right - “Don’t fall for ChatGPT”. Personally, I’m not against the AI revolution or ChatGPT. But the way people, businesses (from small to large) are blindly trusting it, this is what gives me anxiety.
Just think from the perspective of a human. Like when you are feeling low or stressed, obviously you want to share your problems with your trustworthy people, like friends, or parents or a partner. But nowadays people are sharing everything to AIs - means why, how? How can you trust an AI like this? You don’t even have any idea how they will use your data, and what if your information gets leaked or if any hacker uses your data?
Most of the Businesses (I won’t name any specific business niche here) are giving complete freedom to their employees to use AIs and what employees are doing without using their brains, entirely trusting AIs' answers, solutions and copy-pasting them.
I’ve seen many of my colleagues using AIs for every small thing, which made me think, don’t they trust their brains?
Well, why and how people trust AIs this much is not my concern. My concern is different what you will get to know in the upcoming blog.
So in this blog, I’ll give the top reasons why not to fall for ChatPGT or any other AI tools and how dangerous it could be for humans.
Top reasons “Why” not to fall for ChatGPT”
Your Brain will stop functioning
If you want to stay fit, you should move your body, exercise, do yoga, meditation, etc., then and only then you can stay fit and healthy. Just like that, if you want your brain to get developed or function properly, you have to use your brain. Otherwise, your brain will rust and stop functioning.
I literally saw one sarcastic reel, The real conversation was like this;
HR to a girl: Why you haven’t sent me mail?
Girl: ChatGPT is not working
HR: So what? Can’t you use your brain?
Girl: Obviously not. My brain is artificial.
I know this reel is a sarcastic one, but this is becoming the reality or I could say in some cases it already became.
You’ll be entirely dependent on AIs
Trust me or not, half of the world is now entirely dependent on AIs for every small query. Just imagine for a moment that all AIs stop working for any reason, then what will you do? Obviously, you couldn’t do anything as you were using AIs for every small task.
I have seen people who just copy paste content from AI and call them content writers, like, seriously?
See if you are working in any organisation, and if those people are asking you to use AIs, those are different scenarios, but don’t include them in your creativity. You can take help, but should not entirely depend on it. And if possible, don’t even take help, like when AIs did not exist, what we were doing, just do it the same way.
See, I’m a Digital Marketer, and most of the time I have to use AIs, but when it comes to creativity, I make sure that I rarely use them.
For instance, I like to write, and for that, I don’t like to take the help of ChatGPT or any other AI tools, as this is what I like to do. I don’t want AI to poke its nose in my writing.
ChatGPT is not a doctor or counsellor
All of you might be aware that ChatGPT or any other AI tools in the market refer to tons of articles, case studies and based on that they provide answers. And if you are aware of SEO and GEO, you might know how ChatGPT collects data based on users' intent.
So if you are asking ChatGPT for any medical advice, you should know that based on your prompt, it will try to find the best suitable answer for your question. Think for a second, what if the websites it refers to and the data it collected are not right or have any errors in them? There could be possibilities, right?
Even ChatGPT itself says I’m not a doctor and can’t provide medical or financial advice. And always ask you to verify the answers it provides. So when it comes to medical, financial or any other advice, make sure you get it from the respective professional.
Creativity will be dead
As I said, don’t use AIs for your creativity; this is what I meant. If all people are using AIs for every small task, what about human creativity? If they are not using their brains, what is left? Eat, Sleep and Repeat. No work, no brainstorming, no creative work, nothing. Birth and death, period!
Obviously, you don’t want to die like this. If God has given you life, there should be some purpose. Find that purpose and use your creativity to achieve it.
Not every individual is born to become an AI ML engineer.
Future generation will get affected
See, I’m not against AIs, but I’m against the over-consumption of AIs by humans. I don’t want our future generation to become dumb and live in a world where no creativity is left behind.
Like, there is one feature introduced where AIs can pick up your call. I was like, why? Can’t I pick up my call? Even if it's a missed call, that’s fine, I will decide whether to call back or not. I don’t want that feature. I want to live my life, I don’t want AI to live my life and give me lectures about how beautiful your life was. Like seriously?
Privacy concerns
In previous points, I mentioned how people share their data with ChatGPT and other AI tools without even thinking about its consequences.
In my opinion, never share any kind of personal data with AI tools. I saw a few trending reels on Insta where people are like “I talk with ChatGPT as my counsellor, my best friend, my boyfriend, etc. “ And I'm like, have you thought about its consequences?
So next time, if you are feeling low, talk with your parents, friends, but don’t share your personal details with AI tools.
Bottom line
Lastly, as I’ve been saying throughout this article, I’m not against ChatGPT or any other AI tools, as a Digital Marketer, I have to use these AIs daily. But when it comes to creativity and using your brain, don’t fall for ChatGPT, don’t become dumb.
Humans created AIs, so you are the one who should decide to what extent you should use AI.
You are a human and be one.
