Accelerate Work with AI
The thesis issue is not just a political issue. Who actually wrote the thesis? In the near future, if your thesis isn’t written by AI, you might not be able to graduate. Regarding how the previous generation wrote theses, everyone knows it was by copying. As for how copying turns it into a thesis, we won’t discuss that today, but I want to discuss the dilemma of the new generation seeking help from AI.
If our original ability was 80 points, then what can help us reach full marks in this era is AI, because AI’s training and models can encompass various fields.
AI is gradually shifting our behavior from finding answers online to building knowledge in various fields through interaction with AI, and it can also accelerate our lifestyle.
About the Copy-Paste Generation
First, let’s review how the previous generation wrote theses. They would search for relevant information online and then copy and paste it into their own thesis. This way, they could complete the thesis without spending too much time and effort. Of course, thesis regulations specify the extent to which something doesn’t count as plagiarism, so the method of completing a thesis is basically CPCPCPCPCPCPCP, then add Ctrl.
But the problem is that this approach eliminates the opportunity for thinking and creation, because you can copy anything you see, without thinking, and modifying the words becomes a skill. Although the thesis may get a high score, it’s only because you’re a “copy-paste master,” not because you truly possess thinking skills. Actually, you could become a “copy-paste guru” and participate in a copy-paste competition, bringing home a champion trophy!
AI Generation’s Dependence
Now, onto the story of the new generation. There’s a young man named Xiao Lan (Little Lazy), a witty and ambitious fellow. He just entered the workplace and faces a pile of important reports and documents to write. So, he came up with a brilliant idea—ask AI for help! Every time Xiao Ming (Little Ming) needs to write reports and documents, he always asks AI: “Can you give me some great writing tips to help me write better?” AI immediately responds, providing various inspirations, literature, and structural suggestions. This allows Xiao Ming to conduct research and write systematically, while also improving his writing skills and creativity. His theses are written quickly and well, making him an “AI Writing Master,” attracting a global frenzy in the AI world!
The Dilemma of Relying on AI
However, the plot of the story turns to Xiao Ming’s dependence on AI. He begins to realize that he is becoming increasingly reliant on AI. He no longer actively thinks and creates solutions, but habitually relies on AI’s instructions. This makes him lose the ability to think independently and solve problems, like a robot that can only rely on AI and cannot act independently. When AI cannot provide satisfactory answers, Xiao Ming is like a lost lamb, not knowing what to do. He can only run to AI and ask: “AI, what are you doing? You used to be so great, why are you like this now?” AI has to answer: “Master, you have to believe in your own abilities! I’m just a small AI and can’t solve all problems. You have to unleash your potential and become a true ‘AI Warrior’!”
Balancing Knowledge and Wisdom: Let AI Build Exponentially Growing Knowledge
This story tells us that the internet and artificial intelligence (AI) do bring convenience to our lives, but they also bring some hilarious dilemmas. The previous generation only knew how to copy and paste, losing the opportunity for thinking and creation; while the new generation has become slaves to AI, losing the ability to think independently and solve problems. So, while using AI, we must also maintain our unique perspectives and problem-solving abilities.

懶得 (Lazy to) Conclusion
Don’t forget that the growth of personal ability is very important. In addition to relying on AI, we should also continue to grow and learn. There are many ways to help us develop our skills and knowledge. First, reading is a great way to broaden our horizons and increase our knowledge reserves. In addition, attending workshops, seminars, and courses can help us learn new skills and cultivate creativity. Furthermore, communicating and collaborating with like-minded people can inspire and learn from each other. Most importantly, we must maintain curiosity and an open mind, constantly exploring new fields and challenging ourselves.
Personal growth is not only to enhance competitiveness, but also to stimulate our potential and achieve more goals and dreams. AI is just a tool, it can provide information and advice, but the final decision-making and creativity still depend on ourselves. So, let’s treat AI as a hilarious little helper, but also rely on our own abilities to create a better career and life! Remember, people are omnipotent, AI is just a little helper, we are the real stars!
