As development in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies gains momentum, a paranoia is spreading rapidly among professionals who are associated in any form of creative work or do jobs that are repetitive in nature. The main fear is that in the near future, AI might eliminate the need for people in professions like web development.
Today, we find out how much of this paranoia is legit and how much of it is just wishful thinking.
The Rise of AI
It cannot be denied that in the past few years, AI technology has evolved a lot. There are services like ChatGPT that can easily generate articles, codes, creative ideas and a lot more. There are even some websites that claim to generate a functioning website in as less as 30 mins. On the outside then, this does seem like a cause for concern for web developers. The reality though is not such a bright one for the AI.
The lack of Human Element
Surely, an AI can generate creative ideas in a minute but if one closely examines it then they will realise that all AI can achieve is a botched-up job. The content created by an AI is nowhere near the input one provides. And no matter how much an AI service claims that it can create life-like images, one quick look at it and it is clear as water that the images generated are 100% AI generated. The biggest give away being out of proportion sizes of things and extremely majestic backgrounds.
At Bonwic Digital Marketing Agency, we understand that web development requires more than just technical skills; it requires creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to respond to clients' needs. AI may assist in automating repetitive tasks, but the human ability to innovate and adjust to unique client needs is irreplaceable.
In the department of writing too, AI doesn’t hold up. If one uses an AI service to generate a 500-word article, it churns out a thing that has no rhyme and reason to it. Often an AI will use phrases that we normally never use in a conversation, one paragraph won’t naturally lead to another and the biggest flaw of all – the content will be repetitive after the initial 50 or 100 words.
The bottom line is, AI lacks the human element of emotional intelligence and creativity, two vital things needed in a job like web development. We humans can actively listen to a person making requests about a change in the design element and act accordingly which an AI cannot do. The biggest advantage we humans have is that we have empathy. We have the ability to carefully organise and present ideas that may be sensitive. All an AI would be able to do is give the raw facts, which could be disturbing to a lot of us.
In conclusion, AI may be a valuable assistant, but it will never replace the creativity and emotional intelligence that Bonwic's web developers bring to the table. We embrace technology as a tool to enhance our services, but we know that the human element remains essential for success in web development.
