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.

 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 fa...

 Can Artificial Intelligence Match Human Creativity? by Jillian Drummond     Many people across the world are concerned with the potential capabilities of artificial  intelligence at the rate they are evolving. Even back in 2014, big names in science like Steven Hawking and Elon Musk warned about the potential destruction AI could cause. Read more about that here .     The underlying problem with artificial intelligence is that these programs are trained on existing data and records. So, when fed more and more data, these AI programs only get stronger and more accurate, whereas humans are much more limited.  Human vs AI Artworks | Credit: Harsha Gangadharbatla, Empirical Studies of the Arts     But, is it just a new arrangement of previous works that these programs have scrapped? Or is it really a "new" work of art?     The answer is fairly simple... so far. Nothing technically "new" is being created.  Humankind's creativity is...
