It has been a while since I last wrote. This gap can be attributed to busy work schedules and multiple assignments. Finding time for the things we love can be truly challenging. However, today, amidst my regular busy schedule, I managed to take out a sometime to shed light on something I’ve been curious about. Returning to what you love is one of the best feelings. I feel truly blessed whenever I get back to writing.
Writing regularly—say, on a monthly basis—has been difficult for me. There are several reasons for this, both personal and professional.
Years ago, in 2023, I wrote a piece on ChatGPT, OpenAI’s groundbreaking generative AI tool (you can find it here). In that post, I discussed the various basic and positive implications of GPT in everyday life. Back then, most of my friends—whom I regularly engaged with on this topic—didn’t take me seriously when I spoke about the potential of this technology. Many dismissed it, believing AI couldn’t possibly be as powerful as it claimed to be. But reality hit differently.
I still remember the day when Sam Altman (Founder and CEO of OpenAI) announced the launch of generative AI—and the rest is history. ChatGPT made its debut in November 2022, and today, numerous AI-based chatbots have been developed by various organizations across the globe. Yet, ChatGPT stands apart. Its ease of use, intuitive interface, and ability to provide swift responses make it exceptional.
I am personally a big follower of ChatGPT. I have learned so much from it. Whenever I find myself in fumbled situations, I turn to GPT for clarity. It has answered “everything under the sun” for me 😆 that's not true!. Initially, I passionately advocated for its potential among my peers. As time passed, I realized I had become somewhat addicted to it. Over the past two years, I have used it consistently—not only for personal purposes but also for improving my work efficiency and doing some complex work to save my time and efficiency.
Considering the use of ChatGP in my regular day, I could quote dozens of personal and professional examples where ChatGPT has helped me simplify and complete my tasks. I genuinely owe something meaningful to this tool. Majorly I focuses on the professional or working task through GPT. As there is a said that if something is free your the price for it.
Recently, the world has been gripped by a new obsession—transforming selfies, portraits, and even historical images into dreamy, hand-painted Ghibli-style art. ChatGPT’s Plus and Pro versions now enable users to create their own Ghibli-style art portraits. Since its announcement, people have addicted to this feature, eager to experiment before the technology potentially disappears. Social media platforms have been flooded with Ghibli-style artworks. The process is seamless, thanks to the user-friendly interface, simplicity, and accessibility of these tools.
However, a major concern on the issue is raised by AI researchers is data privacy. Millions of users worldwide are uploading personal images to these tools. While companies like OpenAI promise that user data is protected per their privacy policies, such assurances often seem questionable in the face of advancing technology. The rise in financial frauds and government efforts to aware the public on such gimmicks is just one example that challenges these claims.
Through this piece of writing, I want to emphasize an important message: While using AI-based platforms, one must understand a few fundamental principles—safety, privacy, and transparency. AI companies may guarantee these in their privacy policies, but users must be vigilant and cautious when interacting with these tools.
If you’re novice to the world of GPTs, my advice is simple: Start with a strong basic understanding. Personally, I view AI as a double-edged sword—both a tool and a potential trap. One must possess the skills to navigate in and out of this digital labyrinth. Learn as much as possible before fully integrating AI into your work and life. Without proper understanding, things can quickly become complicated and overwhelming.
Technology is reshaping this decade, but amidst this progress, we must remain mindful of our well-being and security. Great minds around the world, including Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, and Sundar Pichai, express optimism about generative AI. On the other hand, visionaries like Elon Musk have issued stark warnings, calling AI “one of the biggest risks to the future of civilization.” When asked specifically about ChatGPT, Musk’s stance has been both positive and cautious—a reaction typical of those who deeply understand this technology.
On serious note AI will never beat the human intelligence not by now and near in future. But humans with AI will definitely replace the humans without AI. Human intelligence is something that can never be taken for granted.
Try to learn, adapt, change as per time but remember to be safe, private and transparent at same time.
