ChatGPT and other AI models are springing up with ChatGPT have recently been raising the bar as the most intelligent AI yet.

ChatGPT can aid human creativity by providing suggestions and inspiration for writing and problem-solving tasks. It can also help with language-based tasks such as language translation, text summarization, and text generation. Additionally, ChatGPT can assist in research by providing information on a wide range of topics. That’s the good part. So what’s the bad part? How does it affect the creativity of the human mind? Here are the negative impact of the ChatGPT language model and how to resolve it.

The use of ChatGPT and other language models like it can have a negative impact on human creativity by making it easier to generate large amounts of text without the need for original thought or effort. This could lead to a decrease in the value placed on human creativity and originality, as well as a decrease in the quality of written content.

One way to mitigate this impact is to use ChatGPT and similar models as tools, rather than as a replacement for human creativity. For example, using the model to generate a list of ideas or to help with writer’s block, rather than to generate entire pieces of text.
Additionally, it is important to promote and value human creativity, originality, and critical thinking in education, media, and other areas of society. Encouraging people to question the sources of the information they consume and to think critically about the implications of AI-generated content can help mitigate the negative impact of language models on human creativity.

Another way is to educate people on how to use AI-generated content in a responsible and ethical way and to develop a sense of critical thinking when consuming the content generated by the model.

Finally, the development of language models like ChatGPT should be done in a way that minimizes the potential for negative impact on human creativity and promotes the responsible use of the technology.

In conclusion, it’s good to understand balance when utilizing a resource. Do not overuse or underutilize these resources, instead strike a balance and know when to use your own creativity.

it’s important to note that ChatGPT is a tool, and its output should be critically evaluated and used in conjunction with human creativity and judgment as I have rightly done in the writing of this article.
