Is AI necessary?


The Necessity of AI: Why Asking 'Why?' Is So Last Decade"Often, in the midst of my daily conversations, I'm presented with the timeless question, "Is learning about AI really that important?" To which I fondly reply, "Well, wasn't the mobile phone just a fad once?"You see, every transformative technology of our times has been greeted first with skepticism. Remember when we'd scoff at the idea of needing a mobile phone everywhere? Today, it's practically our third hand. The rise of social networking was no different. "What’s the need for Facebook when we have Orkut?" they said. Look at us now, unable to imagine life without sending a quick WhatsApp message.Then came the era of the digital wallet. “Why should we adopt this?” was the question. I can still hear echoes of impassioned politicians exclaiming, "Why Paytm karo?" Yet, here we are, in a world where I once traveled to another city, completely forgot my wallet, and guess what? I didn’t miss it for a second. From purchasing a humble bouquet worth 10 Rs at a traffic signal via GPay to ordering a coffee on the go, digital wallets are now an extension of our lifestyle.So, as we stand at the precipice of the AI revolution, why do we ask the same skeptical questions? Today's AI, especially marvels like ChatGpt, isn’t just another tech fad. It's like having a secretary, a friend, an advisor, a content creator, and so much more, all rolled into one. The best part? It's freely accessible to anyone and everyone.For those who recognized the potential of digital wallets early on, they rode the wave to immense success. Similarly, if you're reading this and know what ChatGpt is, count yourself among the lucky ones. You have an edge. You're poised to be a part of a transformative wave that will reshape our world as we know it.In conclusion, learning about AI isn't just important; it's imperative. The world is changing at breakneck speed, and to quote a popular saying, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Let's be a part of this invention rather than spectators. It’s time to embrace AI, because trust me, you don’t want to be the one asking 'Why?' a decade from now.
