TRY COPY CREATIVITY

There's no doubt that AI has flooded the ICT industry, I mean robots can now make the best graphics designs, and the best websites, and they can even write the best books and tell the best stories. They can open the best sales funnel by writing the best sales copy, and create the best pictures and all, but one thing they can't do is create something that has never existed. I've seen how much competition there is in the industry I am in now as we now have to compete with robots who make fewer mistakes than us. So if we must survive in my industry, we need to learn not just how to do the job, but also how to use the robots doing the jobs.

I was lazy about writing a full script for my theater team some months back, so I decided to see if Chat Gpt could assist me in writing a beautiful piece. It did write a very good story after I poured out all ideas, but when I delivered it, alongside the incomplete story I had, my original incomplete story was preferred to the one chat gpt wrote. I felt bad for being lazy because I could have put in the work and finished my script, but I chose what I thought was the easy way out. When I got home that day I sat to read everything chat gpt did again and I saw that the story was good, but it lacked emotions. I can't blame the AI, because it can only try to have emotions from what we give it.

This made me understand that the robots need us as much as we need them. They are practically useless without an expert handling them. The difference between us (humans) and these robots is that no matter how they copy our humor and try to understand humanity they will always lack the creative emotions humans have. For example, if an AI is finding a problem difficult today, it would still find that problem difficult tomorrow unless a program is updated in its chip to help it understand. But give one problem to us humans continuously and we will figure out a way by ourselves even with little or no help. We will just keep on trying until we figure it out. It might take time, but we will eventually.

When I understood this, I stopped being scared of losing my job to AI. Instead, I now strive to be better at my job and sharpen my creativity which is the one thing I would always have over these robots. These robots are beneath me if I know how to handle them and when I do, I will become even more a major asset In my industry. Today at work my boss called me and asked how I now know the things I said I didn't know at the time of my employment, and I told him it's because I learn every day, I take up new challenges and eventually become better than I was yesterday.
