Why not artificial intelligence?
Looking at the way technology has gained ground in this century, I say without a doubt that Artificial Intelligence has come to stay.

What makes you think you can thrive in a time and age like this without artificial intelligence?
Let me say something. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again: Artificial intelligence was not created to ‘replace’ or ‘rule out’ human intelligence; it was invented to solve a wide variety of human problems, making life easier.
With the rising demand of this age, there's so much for us to do, to invent, to put forth, to produce. Those who invented the AI had looked critically into these and more, and with a peek into what the future demands, they invented artificial intelligence.
So you can add that with AI, we attain efficiency and productivity in our day-to-day activities. AI has improved the healthcare sector, government, commerce, media, educational system, cyber security, transport, to mention but a few.
Having said this, you can attest to the fact that artificial intelligence was created to solve human and global problems.
A question was posed by a critical thinker. He said, “Don't you think AI has come to make people lazy? People no longer work as they should; they now depend on AI for everything.”
Well, the problem then is not the technology but the people. So when inventions happen, they don't change us; they rather reveal who we are. It's the same with money.
Let me give you an instance. I'm a fiction writer. Before I learnt about AI, I did things on my own, learning through many phases what fiction writing entails. But then, when I would try the AI writing tools for the first time, I was like, “Oh. This is great, really.” Then I started to give AI my storylines and prompts and in return, I was getting what I thought to be great, compelling stories.
But soon, I discovered that sitting to create my own masterpieces was becoming difficult. And because I write online, where those platforms and companies would not accept AI-generated or refined content, I had to start picking myself again.
So do you get it when I say the problem is not in the technology but the people?
However, if people can equip themselves with the skills needed to maximise AI via consistent training, seminars, and workshops, then we are tackling both challenges AI has come to solve and the future ones to come.
Gone are the days when people are rewarded for ‘working hard’, now you are rewarded for ‘working smart’. That's one big advantage of artificial intelligence.
