Giving AI a Touch of Authenticity
Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year: “Authentic”
Amidst the whirlwind of artificial intelligence advances, deepfakes, and a general sense of disingenuity, it’s ironically refreshing to know that the word that has been crowned as Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2023 is none other than “authentic.” In a world where AI is steadily becoming more prevalent, the desire for authenticity seems to prevail.
Key Points:
- Despite the proliferation of AI and its ability to create incredibly realistic deepfakes, it seems that people still long for genuine and authentic experiences.
- The rise of AI has sparked a newfound appreciation for the human touch, creating a demand for authentic interactions and experiences.
- Authenticity is not just a buzzword; it reflects a longing to connect and relate to the real, genuine, and unfiltered aspects of life.
- Amidst concerns over AI-generated content and the potential for deception, the word “authentic” serves as a reminder of the importance of sincerity and truthfulness.
In a world where AI threatens to blur the lines between reality and fiction, the choice of “authentic” as the word of the year is a gentle reminder that deep down, we crave genuine, human connections. While AI continues to amaze us with its capabilities, the word “authentic” is a call to preserve our own unique blend of imperfections, quirks, and genuine interactions that make us who we are.
Hot takes:
Is AI secretly yearning for authenticity too? Perhaps someday we’ll see an AI system striving to be the most authentic version of itself. Until then, let’s embrace the humor, the quirks, and the imperfections that make humans irreplaceable in their authenticity. After all, where’s the fun in a world without a little chaos and unpredictability?
