With Intelligent
Machines to Do the Thinking, Will Our Brains Get
Lazy?
Nowadays, many aspects of people’s daily
life have undergone considerable changes because of the recent
development in artificial intelligence. Obviously, artificial
intelligence has already completely renovated people’s lifestyle.
On the one hand, the contribution of artificial intelligence to the
society is prominent and people’s dependence on it is an
irreversible trend. People enjoy the benefits and convenience
brought by intelligent machines. On the other hand, people are
still concerned about its negative impact, for example, whether our
brains will regress with intelligent machines to do the
thinking.
In my opinion, artificial intelligence will
enable our brains to get more creative. Admittedly, a lot of work
has been done by intelligent machines. It seems that the function
of people has been weakened and people’s brains have been replaced.
As a matter of fact, thanks to intelligent machines, people can
expand their creative energy and add new varieties. Simply
speaking, when people are free from tedious, repetitive, sometimes
even dangerous work, work efficiency will undoubtedly be improved.
As a result, people can spare more time to do what they want and
pursue what they dream of, which is the premise of creativity.
Moreover, creativity stems primarily from knowledge and thinking.
Once people have the opportunity to do more thinking and learning,
their intelligence would be enhanced rather than
weakened.
Although artificial intelligence is the
exhibition of people’s high degree of creative power, it should be
noted that it is like a double-edged sword. The sensible choice is
to embrace its advantages and cope with the problems it has
aroused. This is what an advanced and rational society should be
like.
