I first
heard about Artificial Intelligence in 2022. Like many others, it sounded
exciting, futuristic, and full of possibilities—but also distant and a bit
overwhelming. At that point, AI was just an idea to me, something I knew
existed but didn’t yet understand or interact with in any meaningful way.
In 2023, I
decided to take a step closer. As a blogger, I thought AI tools could help
improve my writing process, spark ideas, and maybe even make content creation
more efficient. However, that intention didn’t immediately turn into action.
Life, time constraints, and the sheer complexity of AI tools meant that I
didn’t explore much during those early months.
A turning
point occurred in September 2023 when I received the book AI Rising for review
through Writers Melon. That experience prompted me to look beyond the surface
and truly “peep into the depths” of AI. The book opened a door—but stepping
through it was challenging. Understanding AI, even at a basic level, required
time, patience, and persistence.
One of the
biggest challenges I faced was accessibility. Many AI tools and platforms are
paid, and not all are affordable. This created a limitation in how much I could
experiment and learn. Still, I made use of what was available to me—starting
with simple applications like grammar correction and basic image generation.
These small steps became my foundation.
My journey
with AI has been gradual, sometimes slow, but always meaningful. I am still
learning, still exploring, and still trying to find my own comfort zone with
these technologies.
Over time,
I’ve also developed a clear perspective on AI. I believe AI should support
humans—not replace them. It should act as a tool that enhances creativity, not
something that diminishes human intelligence or originality. The human
touch—our emotions, experiences, and unique ways of thinking—cannot and should
not be replaced.
For me, AI
is like a companion in the creative process. It can assist, guide, and simplify
certain tasks, but the core ideas, the voice, and the authenticity must always
come from within.
Today, my
relationship with AI is one of curiosity balanced with caution. I respect its
capabilities, acknowledge its limitations, and use it in ways that align with
my values. I may not be using the most advanced tools or exploring every new feature,
but I am steadily building my understanding.
And perhaps
that’s what matters most—not how fast we adopt technology, but how thoughtfully
we integrate it into our lives.
AI is not
the destination. It’s a tool along the journey. And I’m still walking that
path, one step at a time.
