Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 224 Edition 01 of our Weekly Featured Content.
Made With Canva
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the first topic for this week, which is “YOUR FACE ALONE”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “EASE COMES AT A COST”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community, telling us their thoughts on our continuous dependence on AI and the effects it was having on our creativity and our drive for efficiency. The more that AI can do for us, the less that we actually want to do these things for ourselves.
We got to see that our dependence on AI, while making certain things more efficient and easier, also comes at a great cost. Because it shows that a time just might come when we might not be able to do anything without first resorting to AI. This was an enlightening topic, indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w223e3 tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
AI: INTELLECTUAL CRUTCH? by 
For this author, he told us that due to the fact that AI is so easily accessible to everyone, it comes with its own downsides. People’s creativity and reasoning abilities have taken a huge blow and become fragile and it has also changed the way we come at problems. And not necessarily in a positive way. AI should amplify our intellectual abilities and not become an intellectual crutch!
USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITHOUT SACRIFICING HUMAN CREATIVITY by 
*For this author, she told us that AI has become one of the most impactful evolutions of technology of our time, but it has also ended up raising certain questions that need answering. But then, the real problem isn’t AI; it’s only a tool to us. The problem is our overdependence on it for everything we need to do, things that we could do ourselves in the past. That’s where the problem lies.”
THE HIDDEN COST OF EASY: WHAT AI IS REALLY TAKING FROM US by 
This author told us that AI has opened up all our eyes and now we know the ease and true cost at which things can be done. AI has made things easier and it’s having an impact on our jobs, and finances. The more we rely on it, it gets smarter, and we have less reasons to use our smartness.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (
@melinda010100) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions listed below:
EASE COMES AT A COST by 
DOES COMFORT ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY by 
SAVING TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CREATIVITY by 
These are posts that were also found to be quite exceptional.
YOUR FACE ALONE
“Everyone has a right to take pictures and make videos in public places. So, it's likely that at one point or the other, you might appear in a random stranger's picture or video without even knowing it. This is a recording of you, taken without your permission. Should there be a law making such a thing criminal? How would you feel if you suddenly found yourself in someone's video and you don't even know when or how it was made, but it was made in a public place. But then, what effects will such a rule have on creators who need the originality that comes with taking pictures or filming in public places?”
