Dear Editor,

Artificial intelligence (AI) is just another step in the evolution of technology.

Every time we see a new advancement, it’s on us, the users, to make sure we use it the right way. A lot of people are hesitant to welcome change because they’re used to how things used to be. Sure, change can be tough, but it’s also key for our progress. AI isn’t going anywhere, and those who choose to ignore it will find themselves lagging behind.

There are a few concerns with rejecting AI, such as:

1) It could dampen individual creativity, impacting unique writing styles.

2) It mimics human behaviour, making it hard to know what’s truly produced by people.

3) Some push back just because they don’t like what AI stands for.

At the end of the day, AI is just a tool, and it’s up to us to use it creatively. Yes, there are some downsides, but the upsides definitely outweigh them.

AI can actually improve writing skills and help produce quality work faster. It’s our job to check the information it provides and shape the responses how we want.

AI saves a ton of research time, which means we can get more done. Depending on what you’re researching, AI can whip up a basic outline quickly, and then you can add your own sources to build it out. We don’t have to spend hours hunting for information anymore; it’s all just a click away. Plus, tackling complex problems is way easier now with its help.

That said, like any tech, AI isn’t perfect. It’s only as good as the person using it. So take the time to think about the info you put in to get the best results. Embracing change can be tough, but it’s unavoidable and can actually be pretty beneficial.
