My name is Keslande Gabriel, and I am so looking forward to earning my degree in English-Writing in the next few months. Compared to when I started college in 2004, and going back a few years, I can say there have been some major changes in how we gather information. Technology has made our lives much easier, and enables us to achieve more than we could imagine. From physically going to the library to check out books, to having those information in the palm of our hands. As helpful as technology has been, it has also replaced humans in some ways. Instead of using it as an assistant, our complete reliance on it has diminished our critical thinking skills. From driving to the most common place to writing a simple paragraph, our dependence on technology has increased tremendously. What’s most annoying about AI is how it is being used. Nowadays, you can hardly find an image, or an ad with the human touch. I even saw a whole music video featuring a tall male walking and singing. I was shocked to find out that none of it was real. It was all AI. Too much of a good thing can definitely be a bad thing,
