My First Impressions of Generative AI — and Why It Left Me Feeling Empty

While it saved me a significant amount of time, it had an unintended consequence.
25 March 2023 4 391
Technology changes faster than most people realize, and the gap between those who understand it and those who do not is growing. These articles cover the digital transformation from a practical perspective — AI in the workplace, data privacy, algorithmic decision-making, and the economic consequences of automation. The focus is not on celebrating innovation but on understanding what it actually means for how we live and work.

Common questions about this topic?

How is AI changing the way we work?
AI is automating routine knowledge work — analysis, writing, coding, decision support. The shift is comparable to how machines transformed physical labor. Those who learn to work alongside AI will thrive; those who ignore it risk becoming irrelevant.
What is the digital divide?
The digital divide is the gap between people who understand and adapt to technology and those who do not. As AI accelerates, this gap is widening — not just between countries, but within societies, between generations, and even within professions.
Should I be worried about sharing data with AI?
Yes. Every prompt you send to an AI service potentially becomes training data. Sensitive personal, financial or business information should never be shared with cloud-based AI models unless you understand their data policies and have appropriate safeguards.
