Artifical Evolution
Hatice Özge ÖREK ‣
For decades, the system known as the internet has been transforming: Like a new-born growing, its algorithm has changed multiple times, new applications and features added like cells going through mitosis, its software and code developing. A good amount of us, as internet citizens, have been unknowingly feeding and caring for something far bigger: Artificial Intelligence.
The generative variation of AI has been improving for years; engineers use various data, mainly from our precious net, to train the newest child. Basically, developers have been scrapping off information, stories, pictures and all things alike to make AI better.
This predicament has led to the creation of multiple assets, chatbots you can create stories with, assistants to help you as you work like Gemini or ChatGPT, and generators of all kind, like Google’ s latest AI Nano Banana Pro, which can generate hyper realistic images with a picture and a mere command. Artificial intelligence has grown so much, in a considerably short, known amount of five to four years, to the point it has become extremely difficult to recognize what is man-made with passion and what is a concoction of human work produced by an unfeeling machine.
AI, as a matter of fact, is everywhere: Plaguing our social media feeds, lurking in the script of essay videos, and in the background of what feels like every creative production. In this time period, no matter our age or status, we have to learn the tell-tale signs of AI and spot them, as the genuineness of a business email or a cute cat picture can be questionable at this point. We, yes, me and you, have to adapt to this new landscape and sift through content with a critical eye, finding what is created with the hands of a fellow human rather than an input.
It is really the time to remember this golden rule: Don’ t trust everything you see on the internet!
