But now, if I write something similar, people would probably assume it was generated by AI.<\/p>\n<p>A similar incident happened to me recently. I was planning to do a video about someone\u2019s supercar and sent them a list of simple questions \u2014 the kind that everyday people are usually curious about. The person asked me if I had used AI to prepare the questions. I felt\u2026 nothing. Just blank.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-476\" src=\"https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-Porsche-Ride-Super-Card-Questionare-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1537\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-Porsche-Ride-Super-Card-Questionare-1.png 1537w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-Porsche-Ride-Super-Card-Questionare-1-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-Porsche-Ride-Super-Card-Questionare-1-1024x493.png 1024w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-Porsche-Ride-Super-Card-Questionare-1-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-Porsche-Ride-Super-Card-Questionare-1-600x289.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1537px) 100vw, 1537px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All companies are chasing after AI. We all know there\u2019s going to be drastic growth in the next 3\u20135 years. If you don\u2019t believe me, just think about the evolution of mobile phones over the last 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember back in 2007 when one of your friends had that Nokia model with buttons? Ten years later, touchscreen phones became the norm.<\/p>\n<p>Now, even the mobile phone era is approaching its end. That\u2019s why Apple\u2019s new models are launching with cameras placed in new ways \u2014 one here, one there. The next revolution will probably be smart glasses, and AI will play a big role in that shift.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Human Creativity Still Matter?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-398 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"513\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad.jpg 1146w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Niyaz-Kannanchery-about-Ai-is-Good-or-Bad-600x597.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So let me come back to my original question. When that person asked me, <em>\u201cWas this created by AI?\u201d<\/em> I genuinely thought to myself, <strong>\u201cDoes human creativity not have any value anymore?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I even stopped working on website development after 2022 because everything has turned into drag-and-drop creation. People no longer value the effort or skill behind building something.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m really curious to know what future jobs will look like and where we\u2019ll all end up. When I ask AI about it, the answers are always related to tech jobs.<\/p>\n<p>So for the younger generation \u2014 even if you\u2019re not interested in IT, there may be no choice if you want to earn a living. Otherwise, maybe join a political party and become a leader \u2014 that\u2019s the other answer I imagined in my mind.<\/p>\n<h3>A Future Like WALL-E?<\/h3>\n<p>Remember the famous animated movie <strong>WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class)<\/strong>? In the movie, people had ruined Earth, and a small robot was left cleaning and organizing the waste.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the movie, you see humans living inside a massive building, trapped in a fake digital world \u2014 an illusion created by lights and screens.<\/p>\n<h3>A Message to Students<\/h3>\n<p>To the youth studying now: you\u2019re choosing your paths while living inside your dreams. But think about what you can realistically expect in a few years. Will people even value your education or qualifications anymore?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe governments should restrict AI websites and allow them only for very important missions \u2014 not for small tasks where humans can work. Otherwise, what is the purpose of life?<\/p>\n<p>If businesses replace people with AI and robots, how will those businesses grow? People need money to spend in order to keep the economy moving.<\/p>\n<p>This reminds me of a question that came up in my workplace. Some people asked why the Almighty did not treat everyone equally \u2014 why some people are rich and some are poor.<\/p>\n<p>But think about it logically. If everyone were rich, who would work? How would a country\u2019s productivity increase? The world keeps moving because different roles exist.<\/p>\n<h3>So Where Does That Leave Us?<\/h3>\n<p>Maybe we\u2019re all just trying to find meaning in a world that\u2019s shifting faster than we can catch up. Technology is moving at full speed, but our sense of value \u2014 effort, creativity, and purpose \u2014 feels like it\u2019s getting left behind.<\/p>\n<p>The more we automate, the more we have to ask: <strong>what\u2019s left for humans to do?<\/strong> Not just to earn a living, but to feel human.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have the answers. But I know we can\u2019t blindly chase every new invention without asking deeper questions. Not just <em>\u201cWhat can AI do?\u201d<\/em> but <em>\u201cWhat should we let it do?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because in the end, a future built entirely on convenience might not be a future worth living in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s hope we don\u2019t forget what makes us human while trying so hard to keep up with the machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nby Niyaz Kannanchery<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-135 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/p1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/p1-1.png 500w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/p1-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/niyazsky.com\/in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/p1-1-400x600.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choose your language here &#8211; &nbsp; Three weeks ago, my colleague resigned from our company.
