ShareIn the recent advent of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and its influence on modern society, both in popular culture and professional circles, there has been an exponential rise in its day-to-day use. However, where some people embrace it, others attempt to avoid it. And optional programs, such as ChatGPT, are easy to circumvent; it’s just a matter of not visiting its website.
However, as recent companies have indicated, A.I. may be more difficult to avoid than some would anticipate. For example, Google has recently embraced the use of Artificial Intelligence in its search optimization. Any inquiry in the search engine, no matter how niche, will generate an AI Overview that will summarize the results and provide you with condensed information on the topic at hand. There is no option to turn this feature off.
Other institutions have adopted this practice as well: Microsoft rolled out Copilot to all Outlook users and Amazon frequently prompts you to chat with Rufus, their AI Assistant, when browsing or shopping.
Though many users want to avoid it, Artificial intelligence has worked its way through day-to-day life, especially in the professional world. Its recreational use, too, has become a daily habit. Be aware of this as you engage with these features in the future.
