Artificial Intelligence: A Help or a Harm to Human Thinking?

Article By Arfaat Aijaz Bhat 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a big part of our lives. It is used in education, offices, healthcare, and many other fields. AI helps us write essays, solve problems, make decisions, and even entertain ourselves with things like fake images or videos. While AI gives us many benefits, it also has some serious disadvantages. One major issue is that it reduces our creativity, thinking power, and problem-solving skills.

Because AI gives answers instantly, people don’t try to think for themselves. For example, when a teacher gives an assignment, many students just use AI to complete it. This may save time, but it stops them from learning and thinking deeply. In the past, people used to solve problems by trying different ways, learning from mistakes, and improving themselves. This made them more confident and creative. But now, AI gives ready-made answers, and we skip the learning process. This makes it hard for us to face real-life challenges without help.

Some people even misuse AI to make fake photos, videos, and other things. AI can create images and music, but it does not have original thinking. If we always depend on AI, we may lose our imagination and our own thoughts.

Also, because AI gives fast and perfect answers, we become impatient. We start losing interest in things that require deep thinking and focus. But making mistakes is an important part of learning. When AI gives us correct answers quickly, we don’t get a chance to make mistakes or learn from them. Without failure, we miss the chance to grow and understand deeply.

AI is a powerful tool that can make our lives easier and faster. But if we use it too much, we may lose something very important—our ability to think, create, and solve problems. We must remember: AI is made by humans, but humans are not made by AI. This means we, as humans, have the real power to thinking and imagination. Let’s use AI wisely, not blindly.
