I could remember the very first day I got access to this thing called AI, and I tried checking it out to ask a question. Before I could blink my eyes, it already gave a response with the speed of life. I was amazed that very day because the whole new concept of a fast response looked new to me, and I was like, “Is this exactly how this thing is?”
That moment, I won't lie. As I was using and exploring it, should I say I was impressed or overwhelmed because it looks so intimidating? And at that moment, it felt like I was behind or something because I was not able to comprehend everything at once. But later that day, I continue to think about it, and curiosity hits me, which makes me think if it is better that me or just faster. Because I have seen situations whereby people say it will take their jobs away.
Before the advent of AI, when I looked around me, I discovered that people don't usually rush things because they usually want perfection, and they will sit there for hours just to find a solution even if what they are doing is not that complicated. And when I reason deeply, I also notice that these people don't just rush things just to get them done, but they sit with it to also understand what they are doing in case of future occurrence. And when compared to AI, I believe that is something that no one can measure with speed.
And fast forward to three to seven years ago. According to what I see, everything is now different in a way that most of us now, don't let me say generations now want a fast answers. Quick money. Rapid growth. And even when I look at some churches today, they do things as if they are in a hurry to get somewhere. And this is the exact position that I will put AI in. Just like I said about wanting everything fast. That is exactly the same thing AI does. Even before you press send, you have already gotten your response in a unique and brilliant way. But with my small usage of it. What I have noticed is that this AI will never hesitate or doubt me. It always agrees or tries to struggle with me, and personally, that struggle, I said, and as frustrating as it might sound, that is where most of my real understanding usually emanates from.
I could remember a time like that. Early this year, I wanted to make a decision about something whether to get it done or just ignore it and that gave me a different time to decide on time, but I later did the next day because I had to consider a lot of options, which my decision later paid off in a way a very prompt response never would. And when I look at us humans, we can get productive fifty-nine times more than that of AI. But just because we might be slow because AI is fast, that is why it can be able to couple stuff that is already in existence, not necessarily new or smarter than us.
So, the way I see myself is very different from AI because I reason far, and I don't rush my things. I ask a lot of questions if you know me personally and I disagree when need be or feel unsure. Though I might get a lot of things wrong which makes me more Human because from that "wrong" I get more creative with a better understanding. Yes, I still make use of AI when need be but that doesn't mean I don't process what I think because it's another thing to be fast and it it another thing to think very deep like a human.
