The rise of artificial intelligence or AI has been rampant lately. Things like SoundDraw for music, Images.Ai for art, and the ever-popular ChatGPT can significantly affect work efficiency. This sounds good on paper but would directly blur the line between human creation and robot creation—creating a rift of confusion, especially when monetization is involved.
It can’t be denied that its inclusion in work is helpful, but we want to discern the pros and cons of using AI in work.
Pros

Efficiency. These AI machines are capable of bringing you information faster than a human being. It’s like having a personalized assistant that can answer and produce the content asked for. A simple command such as “Tell me how I can voice this better” can provide you with the desired outcome within a matter of seconds. AI also works in a format that can cover various social media platforms and geographic languages if indicated properly before the command.
From a musical perspective, music-generating AI can provide artists with a rhythm they can work on to move the process of producing music faster—scary, huh?
Breaks creative block. We were all stuck in a creative block at many points in our lives, but AI can change that. AI can answer specific questions and provide outcomes that will jump-start your mind. For example, “Give me a caption that fantasy-genre audience will enjoy.” This can then lay out how a caption can be said, which you will then alter specifically to add more detailed information. This can work outstanding with art as well to get a different perspective of a certain in-progress piece the artist is making.
SEO. AI is generated with thousands of online documents covering any information a human user may need. Generators can choose keywords that will improve search engine optimizations through these documents. Yes, you can simply ask the bot to give you a list to make your content appear more frequently in other people's searches.
Cons

Plagiarism. AI-generating tools take information from documents already made by human beings. This means that if a person uses this generated content without any personalization, plagiarism would be a huge issue. To place things into perspective is like copying and pasting information taken from a Wiki page and posing it as your own as a student. Information may be on point, but corrections or human elements are placed.
Neutral creativity and personalization. Since human elements were discussed prior, AI-generated content will always give you something basic. But, again, if this is not adjusted as instructed, it would appear like any other output out there. Even with all the documents incorporated into its system, the content produced will lack the human touch required to connect with audiences. It's like selling a heartless piece that has no story to tell.
Despite the downsides and upsides of AI-generated content, it all boils down to the individual and how they use it. Are you a user or an abuser? Check through our curated list to see if you are using it responsibly.
- Is this the first thing you launch before starting work or school?
- Are you claiming the generated content as your own without modifying it?
- Are you simply copy-pasting?
- Do you spend most of your time on the AI platform instead of your own working file?
- Do you see it as a tool that can do your work for you instead of enhancing work productivity?
If you have ticked all the boxes above, you might want to take a step back from this technology and evaluate how it can be incorporated into your life instead of letting it drive it. Groundbreaking technology shouldn’t take over the jobs that only human beings can do and should only be available to enhance the product made.
