Thoughts on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now very powerful. You can have websites, apps, or text generated for you. However, even though that’s impressive, the process is often still tedious: It takes time, control, and many correction loops until you get a satisfactory result.

It sometimes feels like it would be faster to do things ourselves instead of waiting for AI and constantly improving.

How Do We Deal With This?

Will it eventually come when we can describe tasks so well that AI does everything perfectly – without any feedback in between? Will there be fewer errors, or will the back-and-forth just shift to later phases?

AI will get better at handling simple tasks. But time remains the crucial metric. Maybe AI use will also become a price question: We’ll wait longer or invest time to pay less – both are ultimately limited.

What Happens With Our Time?

If there is more and more AI-generated content – images, videos, text – will we be satisfied with just consuming it? If suddenly many new websites, apps, and ideas become reality that were previously too expensive: does this save us time or make us happier? Does it improve our lives?

Humanity and Society

Will AI lead to a life without work in the long term? With enough food, housing, and money for everyone? Or are we limited by scarce resources and unequal distribution?

Who truly benefits? Are there gatekeepers controlling access? Will the benefit be distributed fairly?

Time and Meaning

How do people actually spend their time that they don’t have to work anymore? Does it really revolve around consumption? Or does it depend on how we manage time – with or without money?

Maybe it won’t get easier if we have more time, but not in a way that allows for self-reflection. In the end, it’s about enjoying the time we have consciously, whether it is challenging or relaxing.

Back to AI

Perhaps we discover that we want to program, write, or paint again – not because of the result, but because of the process.

AI thinks result-oriented, but humans often find fulfillment in doing things themselves. Maybe creative processes will be valued more again – especially since the result is so quickly achievable by AI.

Conclusion

The essence is:

Our time is limited.

AI can help us implement ideas faster. But if we don’t enjoy the journey, the gain is questionable.

Time saving alone isn’t a goal – finding satisfaction in doing things is the key.
