<p>I won’t even lie, Artificial intelligence stands as one of humanity's most groundbreaking innovations, revolutionizing numerous aspects of our lives. <br></p><p>For writers, AI is an invaluable tool that helps us generate ideas and refine our work by enhancing accuracy and minimizing errors, thereby elevating the overall quality of our writing.</p><p>But guess what?</p><p>AI scares me shitless and I have Hollywood to blame for it!</p><p>We’ve all seen movies like “Terminator,” “The Matrix” and “IRobot”. And <em>Iamscared</em> that one day, a real life “rise of the machines” will take place, and we’ll all be forced to swear allegiance or be <em>unalived</em> at the hands of modern day Terminators. <em>I’m a filmmaker, my overactive imagination is both a gift and a curse. Hehe.</em></p><p>The first people to go will probably be the Chinese/Japanese. <em>Pls don’t come for me if you’re from any of these places</em>. Or any of the Asian countries obsessed with pet robots, as well as those their restaurant waiter robots that serve you food. </p><p>And let’s not forget, AI is taking over human jobs. Customer-care chat bots increasingly assume roles traditionally held by humans, diminishing the need for personal interaction in many companies. Although employing AI usually means faster communication, and I won’t deny it’s opened new avenues for employment <em>sha</em>. But that you can literally interact with Meta AI on WhatsApp or ChatGPT and instantaneously get answers to the questions you need, freaks me out. </p><p><em>Call me bush, call me cave woman, it is what it is. </em></p><p><em>And e be like witchcraft sometimes. </em></p><p>The way technology seamlessly mimics human conversation. It’s useful. It’s good technological advancement. </p><p><em>But it’s also creepy, biko. *inserts cold, crying emojis* </em></p><p>And I sincerely hope the recurring vision I have thanks to movies; of our computers melting into one or shape-shifting like in “Transformers” then proceeding to take over our homes, work-places and the entire world will never come to pass. Maybe I should start apologizing to my laptop in the meantime for the way I misuse it. </p><p><br></p><p><em>Shivers</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
