Are you using AI in every aspect of your life...like I am? From drafting ideas, writing documents, research, report writing,...and design,...
Someone commented to me, "If you're using AI to write articles, how can that be trustworthy?"
And here's my perspective; I think it's simple:
Back in school, I memorized multiplication tables and learned mental arithmetic. Later, when I got a computer, I still used it to calculate faster.
I learned to write, and I know how to write (I even had a few articles published in Hoa Hoc Tro magazine, receiving an average of 5 handwritten letters a day from readers and writing quite a few replies). But when I bought my first desktop computer, I started typing and writing documents. Since then, I've written less by hand and sent fewer traditional letters, switching to email instead.
When the internet came along, I used Google to search for information faster and more diversely, instead of having to read thousands of books.
So when AI appeared, I thought it was just a new tool to help me speed things up.
If I have an idea and can write it myself, then why not...
There's one thing I think is very important.
My viewpoint is very clear: if my child doesn't know the multiplication table and can't do simple mental calculations, I would be very strict if they demanded to use a calculator too early and became dependent on a calculator for their...
Because AI can answer very fluently and confidently, but sometimes it's just talking nonsense (I have to learn from it in that confident rambling part, haha). If you only rely on that answer without verification, it's easy to be misled without realizing it.
Thanks for reading...
Therefore, for young people, I think you should remember 3 things:
Learn the fundamentals before using the tool
Learn how to write before using AI to write.
Think before you ask AI to think.
AI is an assistant, not a decision-maker.
You must be responsible for your own content and...
If we use it correctly.
The problem has never been the tool. The problem is always the person using that tool.
The issue isn't whether or not to use AI, but whether the user has enough knowledge to control it.
Whether you control AI or AI controls you is entirely your choice.
