I chose to expand on this topic because I believe the importance of technology and how we view writing now is starting to kill the very meaning of the significance of the written word. Programs like ChatGPT are starting to remove our identities and how we view ourselves as something as simple as resume writing. We are unable to highlight great aspects of ourselves to the point we are relying on computerized writing to give us a bird’s eye view of who we are and what we bring to the table.

Chat GPT has become one of those tools that is now bringing the writing culture to a screeching halt. In essence it provides a part of technological advancement that we are not yet accustomed too, but in that same advancement the death of the written word is beginning to diminish, as well as the actual emotions that people feel in the process of life. Life regarding political and social issues that are currently occurring circa 2023. Chat GPT predicts aspects of what is to come and what is currently occurring based on a data base built within the system

Kate Crawford provides images of an amazon warehouse; she paints a canvas of what it is that us humans will end up looking like if we don’t act on the role of being more present in life. The fact is we are all becoming victims of this labor she speaks of because we are unfortunately being forced in to living this ambivalent life of remaining part of this system that indeed is building us up to be robotic in every aspect of life. Apart from work there are parts of our personal lives where we become absent.

One of the great arguments about AI and the idea of technology is advancing so much is the presence books have. The effects of what someone would feel when holding a book, they enjoyed reading and characterizing themselves the minute they connect with the cover. Technology is diminishing this feeling slowly and much worse with book bans occurring in some states. It leaves the thought of progression feeling like aspects of life are beginning to regress.
This is a meme created for the Chat GPT situation occurring in the United States, it is a little scary to think about job security especially when you suddenly have a robot doing what a human being must sit down and focus to get done. We are fighting for our spots in the job industry in hopes that as writers we will continue to be taken serious, it is dark humor but there always seems to be some truth in its darkness, it’s sad to say, but there will be a point in which jobs will be replaced by AI.
