AI Tools—The Worth And The Not Worth

Humans have the tendency to crave easiness and comfort. Well, nothing is wrong with that; hell, I love comfort as much as I can get! The question is...to what point? The matter is...how much are we allowed to be dependent on these comforts in order to relish the balance in our lives?

Needless to say, AI tools have introduced comfort and ease. It's all nice and good, yes! But to what extent? Is there any catch?

The Encyclopedia

AI tools have been one of the greatest knowledge repositories of the decade—one of the best to satisfy any curiosity one might have, be it in terms of education or enlightenment. They even provide their sources, which are all combined into a refined form of information. They can assist you in getting the relevant ideas, precise information on the complex subjects, and help you with variety of researches. However, when it comes to the knowledge databases of the world, be aware that you get the information based on what has been fed into the very database. Therefore, the credibility is always at stake.

The Assistant

AI tools are at our support and disposal for an outstanding number of uses. From helping us write an essay to creating a presentation; from conceiving an image from a text to generating a video from those images—it has been an iconic masterpiece. Not only do they create the materials that are requested, but they also serve one with varieties of them. Impressive, isn't it? And there's no issue of copyright or plagiarism.

Generative AIs are consistently assisting in writing programs, helping in devising algorithms and designing layouts—providing an edge to the software development processes. With the right push, they have been marked in writing qualitative pieces of code and programs.

AIs are also helpful in writing articles, essays, or any piece about any topic. They can assist in forming correct sentences, accurate phrases, and grammatically correct, refined, and improved versions. Some tools, such as ChatGPT, can allow you to create poems based on your input, ready for you to edit. They can also contribute to translation between languages, and even help in learning a new language.

On the professional front, they can develop and customize resumes based on your desired roles and responsibilities, help you in writing emails by setting a tone such as formal, informal, creative, etc., and assist you with creating presentations, documentation, captions, models, and ideas!

The Availability

It goes without saying that AI tools are accessible in your hands on devices without any resistance as such. You can direct yourself to any such application such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, DALL-E, CopyAI among others. Some of the tools are highly inclined towards a particular purpose—creating videos, or images, or presentations; whereas some of them are all-in-one kind of platforms with a multipurpose attribute.

Nevertheless, the tools are present at your fingertips on any of your desired devices.

But then...the ambiguity

It all comes down to it, doesn't it? The exactness of the information received, the authenticity of the facts derived, and the originality of the piece you have been working on!

If what you get from the AI tools is incorrect or unverified, then you will be in possession of inaccurate data—not enough for educational or knowledge-gaining purposes. In a similar pattern, if you input your writing, an essay, or an article, or any piece with AI-generated phrases, then it will never be your original piece. Yes, it will be your idea, but not of your own making.

While AI tools must be utilized and availed to ease our day-to-day life activities and tasks, for they have been designed and formulated to serve that purpose by definition. Nonetheless, one must ensure originality in their work in order to create and maintain an impact from the content being worked upon. As much as we all are overwhelmed with daily professional and personal tasks, curating and personalizing it will establish quality in the said work.

Here's to keeping AI tools on a leash and partying with good old brainpower and skills!
