Human vs Artificial Intelligence

     Human intelligence constantly growing everyday, through lessons and education, expanding knowledge at a steady constant rate. Now, artificial intelligence on the other hand, can grow and expand its lessons and education at an exponential rate, surpassing the human mind so quickly and without any hesitation. The main difference is the sense of identity that humans have, the unexpected emotions, random food cravings, tears, and laughter. Artificial intelligence can have these qualities as seen in the film "Her". But these feelings are not authentic, there is no actual beating heart or soul connected to this program. It can know every algorithm, every theory of existence and every thing in the universe and come up with new theories and explanations surpassing the existing technologies of this era, but it cannot feel as humans do. 

     It can copy it. Using "Her" as an example again, Samantha was all upset and everything and said to have tears and all, but yet she physically could not experience them because of her lack of physical being. The same thing is happening to human beings. As artificial intelligence is trying to copy humans, we are turning into robots ourselves in a sense of our means of communication. We have become too reliant on technology so that "the more helpful our phones get, the harder it is to be ourselves". The modern generation does and will continue to struggle to hold a face to face conversation, let alone enjoy chatting with someone on the phone because of the advances in artificial intelligence. Shying behind texts, emails, other modes of delivering information without actually confronting someone. 

     This lack of communication abilities actually might have had a substantial influence on the problem with people trying to determine if it was a robot or a real person due to the fact is that they cannot distinguish if something is lying or telling the truth. People are starting to struggle with being unable to determine differences in languages, from slang talk to proper with their coworkers, friends, and family in a communication sense. All because humans are more obsessed with the artificial intelligence progress from asking Siri to Google talk to even staring at their phone to avoid conversation with that person they knew from high school. Humans are losing this battle to artificial intelligence. So put the phones down, look up, and say hello even if it is to a stranger. You never know how it will expand your knowledge, broaden your horizon, or just save your phone's battery life.
