Impact on Mental Health

by Jillian Drummond


    The relationship between artificial intelligence and self-worth is a complicated one. While AI is marketed to help us be more productive in our careers and daily lives, a lingering discomfort surrounds it. 
    The rate at which AI learns is the most threatening issue. AI learns 125,000 times faster than the human neuron can. At that rate, how can we be enough? More importantly, how can governments keep up with regulations on the usage of AI when it develops thousands of new capabilities in the time one law is passed regarding its regulation?

    Although AI can do some great work, with an ever-increasing lack of control and stability, mental health will be affected. Many people feel their personal identity is threatened since they take pride in their jobs, their capabilities, and/or their accomplishments. Since people see those capabilities as part of their identity, facing the reality that AI can do it faster and better than them takes a toll on their self-worth.

 Students Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Do Homework for Them by Jillian Drummond     Currently, teachers across the world are struggling with this new technology in a whole different aspect than the rest of us, which is teaching their students. Many programs have  emerged with the development of AI, including programs that can write essays while dodging plagiarism filters.       The top three programs in the field are  Textero.AI ,  Jasper AI , and  Copy AI . These types of programs are meant to write for you in an academic style and are marketed with questionable phrases including "plagiarism-free".  Image: Evolving AI by John Darkow     This has introduced teachers (who already do not get paid nearly enough) to a whole new and unique obstacle.       Sure, there are now programs that schools and universities have found that can predict the likelihood  of essays being written with AI— but how credible are those programs... that are also based on using AI?     The leade

 Artificial Intelligence's Bright Exterior has Dark Interior Motives by Jillian Drummond          The creators of artificial intelligence programs have gotten the world in an uproar about AI. They claim it can do a number of life-changing tasks with the help of their new technology. However, many artists have been wondering what these changes could mean for them and their careers.          Generative AI like ChatGPT claims to be able to write music and essays, manipulate media files, and much more all within seconds. For artists who have spent their whole lives perfecting their craft, this can be a little intimidating.  Image: Shutterstock     Being an artist is already enough of a challenge to try and  make a living off of, and with robots emerging in the artistic arena— you can bet it will only get much harder. A Forbes article recently tells of a work of art created by AI that even won an award at a state fair (read about that here ).      Seeing the income and recognition tha

Artificial Intelligence Kills Human Creativity

Artificial Intelligence Kills Human Creativity by Jillian Drummond      Hi guys,      I'm glad you found your way here.      My name is Jillian Drummond and as a lover of all things artistic, expressive, and a little silly— it kills me to see how often people are being over-reliant on artificial intelligence.       Not only that but how it is advancing far quicker than we can control and regulate it. Yet people do not seem to care or think that it can pose a threat to all of us.         I aim to bring more attention to the potential damage that could result from the unregulated growth of artificial intelligence. Everyone needs to be aware that what could happen to the art economy, will eventually spread to all aspects of labor and interfere with our human rights.  Credit: Getty Images      Art is freedom of expression. It allows us to connect with one another and paint our emotions: our struggles, our loves, and our fears. It can be used as a platform for social justice and communi
