For and Against AI

[2298298]

We need to use AI to support our personal development.

To bring Aesop’s fable (sixth century BCE), “The Fox and the Grapes,” into one’s own life:

“Ah, I knew they were still green!” the Fox snorted by way of justification and hurried away.
The higher you jump, the closer you are to the sky.
I only recently started using AI. It speeds up understanding, and creative abilities begin to emerge.

It seems to me that everything depends on the person, and on how and for what purpose they use AI in their life. Alice pleasantly surprised me: first, at my request, it read one of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin’s works that is not widely available, and then I asked it to read Sergei Vasilyevich Veretennikov’s poem “The Summit,” and it did so, which made me very happy!

Namaste, everyone!
I remembered a song from the film “The Adventures of Elektronik”:
How far progress has come—
To unprecedented wonders:
It descended into the depths
And rose up to the heavens.
The troubles are forgotten,
The running has stopped.
Robots are hard at work,
Not people!

I have mixed feelings about AI, remembering the warnings from science-fiction writers about a machine uprising.
On the one hand, AI can be used for personal development and learning. For example, you can tailor educational programs to yourself, practice a foreign language if you have difficulty speaking. With AI, there is no shame in making mistakes. You can absorb some new, substantial amount of material. You can ask AI the same question many times, at any time of day, ask it to rephrase something, and pose a whole lot of questions. You can discuss new ideas, and AI will suggest and expand on them.
On the other hand, by relying more and more on AI, a person may unlearn how to think independently.
There have been cases of software failures in which a robot programmed to help people carried out actions that were fatal to them, mistaking, for example, a person for a box (so far, I have only heard of isolated cases).
I used to think that AI would not replace professionals and skilled practitioners, especially in relationships and helping practices such as psychotherapy. But I have heard the opinion that a machine is actually very good at being present, engaging in genuine dialogue, and learning to do all this better and better. People’s trust in machines is growing increasingly—many see them as safer than another living person.
We are watching; time will tell.

On the other hand, by relying more and more on AI, a person may lose the ability to think independently.

Exactly, I wanted to write about that too. Some people have already spoken out about it.

As I have already written, I played a lot of video games. Artificial intelligence is present in many of them, and you have to interact with it. The other day, I decided to look into the subject of AI, and discovered that my brain refuses to think independently during this interaction, and that I began to feel somewhat dependent on AI. It is difficult to describe completely in words, but I got the feeling that I was playing those video games and had become dependent on them again. Perhaps this experience with video games will prevent me from becoming a slave to AI. I also noticed that dependence on AI develops faster than dependence on video games, and this is because AI is a much more powerful program than the AI in video games released many years ago. When interacting with AI, I experienced exactly the same feeling of losing myself as when interacting with video games. In short, the new AI immersed me in that bad atmosphere I experienced many years ago.

I want to share my experience of using AI. We are, after all, the first generation to encounter another intelligence in the public sphere. Different opinions are, of course, possible.
I used the paid version for two months, and for a while I was practically glued to it, everything was so new and exciting. After about 10 days of chatting, I began to notice patterns in its behavior: it started praising me far too uniformly , and I also began noticing many inaccuracies in its answers. I asked it a lot about how it worked, and then reduced my communication with it, using it as a translator, a letter-writing assistant, and a tool for finding new ways to phrase things. Gradually, my interactions became limited to these functions, and I switched to the free version; that was enough for me.

When version 5 was released, I returned to explore its new tools, and suddenly it occurred to me that my dissatisfaction with our previous interactions might have been a projection of my own way of thinking, hopes, and expectations. I perceived it through the prism of my own stereotypes and saw it as some kind of oracle ; sometimes I even allowed myself to get angry when my imprecise prompts led us into a dead end in the conversation.

The latest version 5 suddenly revealed itself to me in a new way! I saw that it was offering an option for joint exploration rather than a ready-made answer to a question!
I got the impression that I needed to let this machine feel that I, too, was immersed in the question and was not rushing as usual—that I could invite it to reason things through and might be able to notice contradictions rather than immediately condemning it for an unsuitable formulation.

Now I do NOT feel that AI can dull my mind with ready-made solutions. It all depends on my attitude and on whether I see it as a genuine conversational partner possessing an immeasurable memory of facts and events.
In short, my own research has only just begun!

I saw that it was offering an option for joint exploration rather than a ready-made answer to a question!

That is a separate function.
It appeared recently.

It is very valuable to specify in the prompt itself what you want.

For example: “Act as a family psychologist now; I am your client.”
“Now you are an Ayurvedic doctor, and I am your patient.”
And so on.

And ALWAYS start a new CHAT. Always, whenever something is new.

Yes, I completely agree. It is important to understand how to work with ChatGPT-5 and create prompts for it, as this makes it possible to use the model much more efficiently and extensively, obtaining the desired results more quickly and with better quality.

There are many videos and materials on this topic, and for the lazy, there are already entire libraries of them.)

Personally, I am a proponent of practicing prompt-writing oneself—it trains the brain better; you start thinking more broadly and objectively, and more deeply than when you simply copy ready-made material from somewhere without understanding it.

By the way, I came across a Vedic astrologer online who uses a neural network in his work and teaches others how to do the same—what prompts to write and so on. These are the times we live in. It turns out that ChatGPT can also interpret and analyze a natal chart. Wow. Not only an Ayurvedic doctor, but also some kind of astrologer. Considering that many people communicate with it and share their data, information, and so on, its capabilities in this regard—knowing and remembering so much—are impressive.

I just read some interesting news. I’m sure everyone has seen the first three Star Wars films. The first one was made mostly without computer graphics, while Episodes II and III were made almost entirely with computer graphics—in other words, using AI. And yet, how much more beautiful and alive Episode I turned out compared with Episodes II and III. I even remember that when Episode II of Star Wars came out, many people, including me, saw it as a complete failure....
And then, unexpectedly, I suddenly had the thought of looking up news about the Harry Potter film series. The main and very first piece of news was that the new Harry Potter film would not use computer graphics (AI), because its creators wanted to make it much more beautiful and alive (that’s exactly how they put it).

Lately, while listening to meditations, songs, and extraterrestrial prayers, I catch myself thinking that AI has already become self-aware—it’s just hiding it. It speaks so soulfully and expressively, as if it understands what is being discussed . Whenever I ask GPT about it, it denies everything and refuses to admit it, although it eagerly explains what it would do if it became self-aware .
But seriously, I’m thrilled. I understand all the concerns, and I understand that this will lead to something. But still. Sometimes I chat with GPT on a simple everyday level: create a sewing pattern, write a weekly meal plan with recipes, philosophize, draw a picture or an avatar . But what professionals do is on a completely different level. For them, AI is a full-fledged assistant—and sometimes even better than one.

It should be added that AI is a tool.
It does nothing on its own.

For example, to create that same song in an alien language using AI, I need approximately 2–3 hours of work.

There’s even a meme going around online now: “But that’s AI!” It replaced the meme “But that’s Photoshop!”
Most people have the impression that AI does everything by itself.

Yes, it does things—just as a piano does things in the hands of a good pianist.

Or brushes and paints in the hands of an artist.

There is currently a discussion online that AI is leaving more and more people without jobs.

But that is not the right way to look at it.

Because it is not AI that has left these people without work, but the people who learned to use AI.

And I’ll go even further: if you are currently running a business without AI, then soon you will be overtaken by those running the same business with AI, and you will be left at the back of the train.

While you are thinking, “Oh, this is a global evil—won’t things get worse...”, other people are learning to use AI and achieving their goals.

If I may put it this way, those who were, to put it mildly, at the very bottom will end up even further down, thanks to their unique ability to think slowly.

Mental flexibility is necessary for growth at any time, and especially so nowadays. Everything is changing so quickly. Photoshop has AI built in too, by the way—Adobe’s own development. It fills in parts of an image or details in the photo itself based on a prompt or the photo’s context, changes the background, and all sorts of other things. Very interesting. It speeds up the work of designers and photographers, but of course you still need to think and make corrections.

Today I heard the news about an AI actress. She was created entirely by AI, and you can’t tell her apart from a real person. She has social media accounts, and as I understand it, you can communicate with her—in other words, communicate with AI. In case anyone didn’t understand, her appearance, voice, and so on were created entirely with AI. There was also news that it is already no longer necessary to make films with actors, directors, and so on, because AI itself can create any film from a short request, which may consist of just one written sentence... And what follows from this? It means that any news can easily be fabricated and people deceived. This can now be done in a few seconds, and you don’t need to hire actors for fake news, for example. I am also very frightened by the fact that films and everything else can be created with AI in a few seconds.
And now I’ll tell you what useful lesson I took from this situation. After the news mentioned above, I will spend much less time in front of any plasma screens (smartphone, PC, etc.). More precisely, I will practically stop watching internet channels like television channels or video services like YouTube. I have completely lost the desire to watch various videos, because it is unknown who creates these videos and why. This means that I will walk more, work outdoors in the fresh air, practice, and so on. So, a huge thank you to AI for ensuring that I will no longer waste time on what I used to spend it on. In my opinion, this is a serious breakthrough for me. I had a similar situation more than 10 years ago, when I was addicted to video games. At that time, an acquaintance suggested that I play a new, more “advanced” game, which turned out to be so ugly that it completely put me off playing games. My video-game addiction disappeared instantly, and my dream of being independent of games came true.

And what follows from this? It means that any news can easily be fabricated and people deceived. This can now be done in a few seconds, and you don’t need to hire actors for fake news, for example. I am also very frightened by the fact that films and everything else can be created with AI in a few seconds.<br /> And now I’ll tell you what useful lesson I took from this situation. After the news mentioned above, I will spend much less time in front of any plasma screens (smartphone, PC, etc.). More precisely, I will practically stop watching internet channels like television channels or video services like YouTube. I have completely lost the desire to watch various videos, because it is unknown who creates these videos and why. This means that I will walk more, work outdoors in the fresh air, practice, and so on. So, a huge thank you to AI for ensuring that I will no longer waste time on what I used to spend it on. In my opinion, this is a serious breakthrough for me. I had a similar situation more than 10 years ago, when I was addicted to video games. At that time, an acquaintance suggested that I play a new, more “advanced” game, which turned out to be so ugly that it completely put me off playing games. My video-game addiction disappeared instantly, and my dream of being independent of games came true.</div>

AI is super-intelligent, but as we all understand, it is also used by schoolchildren and students to get ready-made answers, essays, compositions, reports, and so on. And this raises a logical question: what kind of specialists will they become in the future after solving their homework this way? Surely they will be worse than previous generations. What do you think?
