Keyboard Smelting

    It's crazy how the keyboard of our imagination has been grafted into a prompt that end up trying to generate our feelings. Lost of words that feel strange yet easy to put on paper, we have become lazy to express our history in the ink that stains our finger tips. The golden era of authentic discourse has disappeared as we let a defined logic do our part in writing what we are experiencing. In that regard, we have embraced a distant truth that helped understand the past in the stories that were written by legends of the past.

    Take a look at Charles Dickens work in "Hard Times" we got to learn of the Victorian Era without being forced to study history. Even the works of Shakespeares we got to understand the discourse of the past  hidden openly between the lines of entertainment, with a promise of learning from the past. This problem have transcended into business practise, where the computer now decide for us on what works on us. Thereby making us slaves to clicks and logarithm, which has become our flute blower to sounding strange. Even the culture of hard work has been replaced with play with the computer and it will come up with perfect slogan.

    Don't get me wrong here, AI is a beauty piece of hardware we can integrate to our daily routines. However, the over realiant on it is killing us slowly as we become less and less innovative. We have become addicts to soft life which in reality is a ghost that we keep seeing upon the mirror reflection. though we chose not to believe in its existence we trod the ground in the hope that with work becoming soft we have ample time to learn new things. But the real question is are we learning anything new or we lazying around the keys to dish us answers we need.

    Not spared to this problem, Africa has also been affected by the over reliant on the computer to generate our history in words using the data that is available online. Which leaves the biggest question of all times; "Who is responsible for the machine learning and what are the parameters guarding it in its arguement?" This make us to lose the plot of storytelling of our stories in a convinencing way as we have began to sound the same. If AI could used to give an outline to line of thoughts it will be better. Instead of allowing it to be our train of thoughts, driving our imagation with a few prompt words to become our words.

    In conclusion, we need to learn to use AI to help refine what we create sparingly while allowing our true intention to be kept within the words. And not to bury our true intention behind an assumed perferct storyteller that rob us of getting to know you on personal level. Also to point, AI isn't as perfect as we imagine too. It still require to be sharpened and have it trained on African logic too instead of the East and Weastearn logic only.
