With the rising interest and use of artificial intelligence, it’s important to recognize and be mindful that while it makes many day-to-day tasks easier when used responsibly as a tool, it should not be used to replace jobs of others, nor should it be relied on entirely for content production.

Overuse of artificial intelligence in content production has many adverse effects, including:

• Dilution of originality from copyrighted training data
• Lack of real-world context
• Hallucinations causing spreading of misinformation

Using AI doesn’t just introduce issues in content production, but the effects of its extended use in humans have not been studied adequately. From the limited information currently available however, there have been several worrying discoveries:

Offloading the cognitive load you would have otherwise had to an AI can have an adverse effect in the way your brain works. This is similarly observed with people who regularly complete cognitive exercises and how it helps to fight back Alzheimers disease.

This, among many other reasons is why I find it important to advocate for the proper and responsible use of AI.
