Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. No doubt AI is slowly taking over the world, taking over jobs meant for humans. AI turns out to be even more productive and accurate for companies than humans, but it wasn't meant to be so. The initial plan was for AI to support humans, not replace them.

A family friend lost his job a few months ago, all because machines were bought to do their jobs. I can only imagine the pain. A breadwinner in the family getting replaced by a machine puts the whole family through so much stress. Companies these days even prefer the services of machines and AI to the services of humans, as it's less expensive and all they have to do is service the machine and give it the maintenance it deserves to keep it going.
The only way to be on the safe side and not lose our source of livelihood to AI is when we get to learn or have expertise in a thing AI might find difficult to do, though they can do it all but won't be able to do it perfectly. AI might have made life and production easier, but it has rendered a lot of people jobless as they lost their jobs. AI has no emotions; it just works as it is programmed to. This alone puts us at an advantage; those things we have passion for, we can do way better than AI because emotions are involved.
The question remains: now that it seems AI can do all things humans can do and is slowly replacing humans, is there anything I can do that AI cannot replace or take my place? Though AI is good, I think I have a skill or two where I can serve and not get replaced by it.
First and foremost, my computer hardware maintenance skills is quite good for the fact that an AI is programmed puts me on advantage, and its program can be limited. I have all the liberty to learn and know more about maintenance, but an AI cannot go beyond its program. I learned from one of the best and can try introducing and doing certain things to make sure things work out well while fixing a computer, while an AI cannot do more than it was instructed to do.
AI is good, but sometimes it malfunctions. Another skill is my writing. Thanks to Hive, I can boast of this skill. I might not be perfect, but I believe an AI cannot beat me at this. Like I said earlier, AI have no emotions and only deal with what they are programmed to do. A piece of writing with no emotions poured out of it kind of feels dry.
When you ask an AI to write an article for you and ask a human to do the same, you read both and see the difference. Emotion helps pass the message across, while an AI with no emotions just writes based on its program.
AI might have rendered many people jobless, but that does not mean it has no advantage; it continues to evolve, and we are left with no choice but to either level up or get replaced by the evolving Artificial Intelligence.
