My friend and I, a fellow realtor, were returning from an event when a notification popped up on my phone, and it read:
Dear esteemed parents, We are thrilled to announce the preschool theme: “Seasons Around The World“ 🌎🌍! Our learners will be exploring different seasons, and it promises to be filled with a lot of fun activities and experiences that will make the day a memorable one. 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌎👓👓👓👓👓👓🌂🌂🌂Date: Friday, 27th June, 2025.Dress code: Dress according to your season.KG 1 - Spring, KG 2 - Summer, Nursery 1 - Autumn, Nursery 2 - Winter!
After reading the above message, I asked my friend, What does the Autumn dress look like again? because I can't remember all these, and my baby belongs to the Autumn dress. The lady was like, It's not hard at all; just ask AI via your WhatsApp, and now, now, you get answers to your questions.
She went further to say that gone are the days when information is stressful to get. Nkem, you don't need to go far; just use voice message if you cannot type and see AI or ChatGPT give you results immediately. She continued to tell me how this tool has been a lifesaver to her when it comes to video editing in her real estate hustle and how she also uses it to generate marketing content for her real estate adverts.
You see, there is no doubt that AI is gaining ground in our world today because of its diverse use cases in this digital era. In fact, it's even hard to see sectors nowadays that don't use AI in one area or the other. Remembers the original purpose of AI invention is to assist humans in carrying out their tasks more easily and with a higher productivity.
I think why some people say negative things about AI is because the reliance is becoming too much, making people lazy and less creative. The dependency causes shallow thinking among learners in school also and the fear of job displacement from humans. These are some things I see that appear negative with this AI tool.But then, if I should be sincere, I will say the advantage of this AI to humans is less than the disadvantages. Come to think of it, if humans should stick with the original purpose of this technological advent, then we wouldn't have to worry about anything, but humans and abuse are 5&6. We always overdo things and take so much advantage of them to our own detriment, of course.
AI has come to stay, and even if I have my way, I will not put a stop to AI because it's making a big impact in our world. Go to the health sector, education, business, and even security; AI is doing great with its assisting job in diverse cases.
Our problem will only be the usage. You are a student, or a medical practitioner, or what have you; just stick with its assistant role, don't rely on it that much, and enjoy what AI has to offer.
