Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly redefining how humans think about work and creativity. The growing banalization of work, even affecting “creative” jobs, can distort our perception of our work’s worth. These times beg us to reflect on our intrinsic value as individuals, lest we grow numb to our crutches.

If we become overly dependent on these tools, we risk losing track of what our own thoughts and values bring to the table.

Emotional intelligence

We have the capacity for empathy, compassion, and love, which are qualities that machines cannot replicate. With enough experience, we comprehend the complexity and nuance of human emotions. Emotions are an essential part of our lives, and they influence our decisions and behaviours in ways that are difficult to quantify.

Curiosity

Curiosity killed the cat?–Maybe, but we need it to live! While AI can analyze data and make predictions based on past experiences, it lacks the curiosity and creativity that drive innovation. By contrast, we have a natural desire to explore and discover new things, and this drive is not only unique but necessary to keep us on our feet.

For many people, happiness is closely linked to the pursuit of knowledge and the satisfaction of learning something new. This can take many forms, from exploring new cultures and trying new foods to mastering a new skill or hobby. When we are curious about something, we are motivated to seek out information and experiences that can help us better understand it. This process of exploration and discovery can be incredibly rewarding, and it can provide a deep sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Curiosity also plays a key role in our social interactions. When we are curious about other people, we are more likely to engage with them, ask questions, and build meaningful connections. This can lead to a greater sense of belonging and happiness, as we feel connected to others and valued for who we are.

Enjoy being yourself

In conclusion, AI has given us a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. By contrast with our emotional intelligence, curiosity, and creativity, AI has reminded us that there are certain qualities that are unique to human beings and that make us special. We need to keep these qualities close to heart to stay true to ourselves.
