Artificial intelligence (AI) has made a qualitative leap in its ability to mimic human writing. If you use tools like GPT, you’ll notice that, at first, its responses are generic. However, by training the AI with your own style and terminology, the results can be surprisingly accurate, to the point where you might believe it was written by you.
An expert in technology from Telefónica recently pointed out that, in the future, humanities careers will be more valuable than technical ones. Why? Because a human soul will be needed to differentiate what is real from what is generated by AI. This reflection is particularly relevant in a context where digital tools can replicate our voices, gestures, and even our way of speaking.
In one of the most surprising experiments, a minute and a half video was uploaded to a website, which then generated a virtual copy of the user, capable of speaking with the same tone and style, even explaining complex topics as if it were an expert. This level of realism can cause confusion and poses an ethical and practical challenge: how can we know if we are interacting with a human or a machine?
The advancement of artificial intelligence, although fascinating, forces us to reflect on the boundaries between humanity and technology. As these tools become more sophisticated, it will be essential to develop skills to recognize and differentiate both realities.
