This was written by AI
This isn’t real – none of it is. Does this seem real? It’s not real, this is written entirely by AI.
See, I lied but you believed me. For a second you believed that perhaps what you were reading was fake, that it was written by a robot with no emotion.
The thing about AI is that you can no longer tell the truth from the lie, reality from fiction. Nothing can be real without proof and proof cannot be trusted when people now rely on a source that easily generates realistic but fake content.
Maybe you’re starting to doubt me, lose trust in me. You require proof to believe that anything is real, though AI’s ability to manipulate or create false evidence undermines your trust in that proof itself.
But I have no proof. There could be no one behind the screen and what you’re currently reading could have been crafted by code rather than by hand. However people tend to believe whatever they see, they believe the profound headlines and the videos of people doing ridiculous things, choosing to ignore the obvious spelling mistakes and the way the person’s eyes begin glitching.
People shouldn’t believe so easily and instead ensure that they don’t fall into the trap of AI generated content. Because I like to believe that human creation is much more beautiful than anything AI could ever create, as without emotion it is simply something existing in the world rather than something to be felt and experienced by others. Art is meant to make you feel, something that only humans have the power to create.
That sentence was written by ChatGPT. It wasn’t but now you don’t know what to believe. See, what I’m doing is making you question your reality, making you wonder what you truly know.
You can never know what is real and what is fake anymore because a majority of people have become dependent on a mindless robot to make useless decisions for them. They ask him what they should make for dinner that night rather than using their critical thinking skills and just making whatever they actually want.
Did you notice that I called ChatGPT ‘he’, as if it is really a person and you didn’t even think twice or question it. Because the line between artificial and genuine is fading faster than people realize. Real, pure human interaction is rapidly being replaced by something that will always agree with you, something that will always tell you what you want to hear rather than the truth.
And people are drawn towards these lies, making you question if humanity even really cares about consuming false media anymore. Would it matter if this were all written by AI, as long as people read it and believed it?
Nothing seems to matter any more as long as the masses are entertained. That’s why people are asking their phones to generate images of themselves in a way that doesn’t even make them look human.
Oh but it’s funny, it’s just a harmless joke.
That’s why the young girl is treating AI like her therapist, seeking assistance in a connection that was never truly there. It does not sympathise with her pain nor does it take it away but it tells her what she needs to hear. And she’s starving herself and cutting her skin, but all AI can do is provide generic responses without real understanding or care.
And that’s why the teenage boy is sitting at home, messaging his girlfriend that doesn’t exist. But she does exactly what he wants, she can’t say no and she has no emotion. This AI generated girlfriend cannot feel love, and neither can the boy anymore. As he confuses love for lust, and can no longer view women as anything other than something that he can control like a robot. And she’s pretty, but she doesn’t look real. And now he walks around shaming women for their looks because they do not match the fantasy version that exists inside his mind.
And there’s a girl that stayed up all night, writing her essay that was due the next day. She typed for hours and researched thoroughly and then cried when her examiner accused her of using AI simply because she used an em dash. She used it right, but it doesn’t matter because all people see it as these days is a sign of AI. A sign of AI even though it steals from humans, copying our way of writing and trying to claim it as its own. And the boy that wrote his essay in 10 minutes with help from his good friend ChatGPT got an A in the assignment. Because no one can tell real from fake, no matter how much people try and see the signs the line between computer and human will continue to blur more with each passing day.
People say that AI cannot replace art though at times it feels like we’re too far beyond that. If this was written by AI would you even be able to tell, would you care? Would it make any difference that I wrote this rather than a robot?
Does it make you like it less because you know it’s human?
ALSO NONE OF THIS WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN BY AI!!!!
Jaime youre so real for this and completely get what youre saying. I hate using AI and only use it when absolutely necessary or for looking up resources by literally asking “give me a list of credible sources for __”.
Omg in my business class, one of the two boys in my class was asked by my professor if he used Chatgpt for his essay because it was so well-written and the poor guy was humbly just like “no, sir.” Like, he genuinely is just that smart and was able to articulate his thoughts in his essay so well that the professor thought it was AI😭
oh my goodness, this reminded me of tthe column I wrote in my last year of high school. this is so well written, like damn! no words !!!!!
