Imagine you are working on a project with your colleagues and are struggling to come up with a solution to a complex problem. Suddenly, you remember that your company has recently acquired a giant AI tool called ChatGPT that can help you with any kind of task. Excited, you gather your team around your computer screen and start typing in your query. After a few minutes of waiting, the AI comes up with a seemingly perfect solution. You implement it, and the project is a success.
But then you start to realize that ChatGPT is not just a tool, but a powerful AI system that is now an integral part of your workflow. You start using it for every task, relying on it for its speed and accuracy. Slowly, you stop thinking critically and creatively, relying solely on ChatGPT for all your answers. And as a result, you begin to lose the very skills that make you human.

The
What We Lose When We Work With A Giant AI Like ChatGPT
- AI tools like ChatGPT can be incredibly useful in the workplace, but we must be aware of the potential consequences of relying too heavily on them.
- As we increasingly turn to AI for decision-making, we risk losing our creativity, critical thinking skills, and sense of autonomy.
- To prevent this, we should use AI as a tool to complement our natural abilities, instead of relying on it to do all the work for us.
and Practical Tips
As someone who has worked with ChatGPT extensively, I can attest to its usefulness in certain situations. However, I always make a point to think critically about its outputs and to maintain my own sense of creativity and autonomy. Here are some tips for doing the same:
- Use AI tools as a supplement to your own knowledge and skills, rather than a replacement for them.
- Question the outputs of AI systems and test them against your own intuition and experience.
- Take breaks from AI tools and spend time thinking creatively and critically on your own.
By following these tips, you can ensure that you stay in control of your own work and continue to develop the skills that make you valuable as a worker and as a person.
