AI, To Your Benefit.
AI is almost everywhere you go now. You could get fooled on social media by it; it's used in ads and even in creative spaces. While it's extremely tempting to rely on it for everything, there's a big difference between using AI to help you learn and using it to cheat. It's an amazing tool for brainstorming ideas, refining your writing, or breaking down confusing topics—but not to do your work for you.
As a musician and artist, I have mixed feelings about AI. Seeing AI-generated songs get so much traction, while real artists pour time into creating something authentic, is unfair. Music is emotion, not just numbers, patterns, and shortcuts.
Still, it's hard to deny how important AI is becoming. It's shaping how we learn and communicate. Knowing how to use it responsibly isn't just useful—it's essential. It's a skill that's going to matter more and more in the future, as it replaces the jobs of many people.
AI shouldn't replace passion, talent, or originality. It should support it. If we learn to work with AI rather than letting it control us, it can be used to level up the things we do, instead of losing our creativity.
