Many people call the present era the era of AI. To be honest, we are now living in a time where more or less everyone is using AI in some way or the other. AI is now helping in studies, office work, research, and even small daily tasks. I myself am no exception. Every day I have to use several AI applications, sometimes to get new ideas or suggestions, sometimes to create presentations, and sometimes to quickly research a topic. This makes work much easier and saves time. But in the midst of all this, one thing is always clear in my mind that no matter how advanced AI is, it is a technology created by humans. AI was not created by itself, it is behind it human talent, research, and long-term hard work. Humans created it, humans gave it information, and humans taught it how to work. So many times when someone says that AI will become more intelligent than humans, I think that idea is a little unrealistic.
A simple example will make the matter clear. Suppose, the internet is turned off all over the world for a day. Will AI be able to function as it did then? The reality is that most AI systems will be practically useless then. Because they have to rely on information, connections, and human-made infrastructure to function. But humans will still be able to think, make new decisions, and act according to the situation. This is where the real power of humans lies. AI does not feel any emotions. It only analyzes information and responds according to the program. It does not have the ability to experience life the way humans do.
I think it is not right to see AI as a competitor to humans but as a powerful assistant. Just as machines have helped humans in the past to make difficult tasks easier, AI is also designed to make our work faster and easier. It is not a substitute for our thinking but a means to use our thinking more effectively.
I think there is no need to compare humans and AI because AI is a technology created by humans and humans are the creators of that technology. Therefore, it is wisest to use AI as an assistant, not as a competitor.
