AI and Its Endless War Against Human Nature

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most widely used technological tools in the modern world. It is integrated into smartphones, utilized by healthcare professionals, applied in e-commerce, deployed as AI chatbots in customer service, and implemented in banking, among countless other fields. AI even surpasses human capabilities in certain areas, performing tasks with remarkable speed and precision, eliminating errors, and significantly reducing the time required for manual labor.
However, one domain where AI should not intrude is the deeply human realm of art. The use of AI to write novels, compose music, paint stunning images, or generate artificial photographs is a matter of ethical concern. AI relies on the work of human creators, often using their art, words, and voices without their consent. Beyond the issue of ethics, there is a profound flaw in AI-generated art—it lacks genuine emotion. True art originates from the depths of human experience; every word in a novel is carefully chosen, each brushstroke on a canvas is infused with vision and intent, and every photograph captures a fleeting moment that may one day spark nostalgia. Art has the unique ability to transcend borders, touching souls across cultures, languages, and beliefs.

By creating a tool that threatens to strip away this magnificent aspect of human expression, we risk diminishing one of the greatest triumphs of creativity. While AI is undeniably beneficial and, in some cases, even essential, its unchecked expansion into the arts paves the way for a dystopian future—a world where human beings become passive, mindless consumers of machine-generated content, enslaved by a creation of their own making.
