How AI Models Can Alter Your Skills?

 


I grew up in a timescale when internet connection was confined to PCs, and PCs weren’t a commodity in Indian homes. This was the time when I was in school. Fast forward to my sophomore year at college — smartphones had forayed into the Indian market. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong — among the slightly expensive models, Samsung was the first to introduce an affordable yet sleek, holistic phone, which back then cost ₹5,000.
In the next few years, smartphones weren’t a luxury show-off; they became bare essentials for survival. I found browsing easier when I owned a smartphone because earlier I had to turn on my desktop every time I had to browse something as trivial as “how to make a plain vanilla cake.” But that was it. Google’s search engine didn’t always resolve my doubts.
Say I had a query like “Are BJTs still in use?” — I had to browse through multiple pages to find the right answer. I had to search for online forums to know why I had gotten a particular syntax error. During the last few years, this arduous task has been laid to rest. LLMs manage to scour through files and provide you the correct answer.
There was a time when I had to write query emails, leave applications, and project summaries all by myself. I may have looked up suggestions, but in the end, it was me. At college, there were kids who would seek my help to pen down some of these options, and I thought I did a decent job.
2023 was the year I was introduced to ChatGPT, but only during the last few months have I taken to using it on a regular basis. I’ll tell you what — I lost the will to do write-ups. For example, “How should I write a follow-up email?” Hey, but there was a time when I would do it all by myself.
I pity the conditions of HR professionals who now have to find the right candidate with good writing skills because it currently appears AI Models are the only candidate with those types of skills. The point I’m trying to drive is: our basic writing skills are on the brink of extinction. It’s perhaps okay to seek the help of AI models for minor edits, but relying on machines solely doesn’t seem healthy.

LEARNING DISABILITY THROUGH ASTROLOGY

The Cosmic Connection: My Journey with Depression, ADD, and a Pisces Moon A word of caution: I'm still taking baby steps in my astrology journey and don't intend to pursue it as a career or side hustle. I'm learning simply to satisfy my own curiosity. During my sophomore year of college, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) . My school days were traumatic, filled with verbal abuse and bullying at school and at home. I was told these conditions were incurable. And while they might be, I've learned that they're not insurmountable. My birth chart offers some fascinating insights into my experience. I'm a Pisces moon with an Aries Ascendant , which places my moon in the 12th house . This house, along with the 6th and 8th, is considered a Dusthana , or a dreaded house in astrology. Planets in these houses are said to struggle to deliver their optimal results. The 12th house specifically represents far-off lands, dreams, and ...

What Failed Surjit? A Story of Caste Pride and Cowardice

 What shook Tamil Nadu, the southernmost state of India, was the honor killing of Kavin Selvaganesh, a 27-year-old by the brother of his girlfriend. Kavin, a brilliant mind, had earned a gold medal for his academic performance at the university and was employed at TCS, with a monthly salary of more than a lakh. He had known and been in love with Subhashini, a medical doctor and the daughter of two police officers, since they attended the same school in Tuticorin. Subhashini belonged to a community categorized as "Most Backward," while Kavin was a member of the Scheduled Caste. Because of their differing backgrounds, Subhashini's parents did not approve of the relationship, fearing social ostracization if their daughter married Kavin. What happened next is truly chilling. Kavin traveled to Tirunelveli to take his ailing grandfather to the clinic where Subhashini worked. Her 21-year-old brother, Surjit, learned of the situation and met with Kavin. After exchanging friendly...

The Unseen Value of Struggle

A few might be unaware, but the name Turbo C++ isn't unfamiliar to many. How can I forget the bright blue screen in front of me as I took my first steps into something called 'programming' at 17?                                Courtesy : GeeksforGeeks The "Hello, World!" program is perhaps the first kind of code that makes you feel like you've stepped into the shoes of Ada Lovelace. Later, I got into a mesh of data structures that I couldn't comprehend at the time. As a beginner, I was expected to write lengthy pieces of code for the course, which made me despise the whole process. How I got back into it would compel me to tell a chunk of my life story, which is a less interesting one. Since I learned programming the hard way some 10 to 12 years ago, a relatively new tech—regenerative AI—fills my eyes with tears and me with a sense of gratitude that leaves me speechless. Regenerative AI could be one of human...
