Artificial Intelligence?

What does Artificial intelligence mean? Artificial intelligence is a theory or development of technological devices that helps humans accomplish their action at a faster time and more convenient. In simpler terms, artificial intelligence is when technological devices helps us do our jobs. There are both pros and cons towards this big topic. Technologies and computer systems helped us make the things we do way easier, but if it is too developed, this world can be scary. Just imagine all robotic creations replacing our intelligence. This is how the world would be like, if we continue to rely on technologies.

There are quite a few disadvantages towards artificial intelligence because it could replace our human smartness. As humans, develop logical thinking, but if we are not as smart as the robots, then companies would choose the robot over us. The companies have already started using machinery to replace us because they work more efficiently and the labor cost less. The machinery does it's job non-stop because it is a machine and they only have to pay for oil money. This problem could be more serious than we thought because this leads to a decrease in employment rate, meaning that more people would be unemployed. It is hard enough already to compete between each other and now with machines too?

I think that technologies could help us make our job way easier and less time consuming, but at the same time fully relying on technology is bad thing. One day, we would be clueless when we loose our technological resources, then we wouldn't know what to do. Working with technology is not a bad thingy, but we have to make sure that we don't rely too much on it.

The Truth About Commercials

Now a days, there are lots of commercials that are shown on the television. There are so many ads that we just give up on looking or watching every single one of them. Why is it that we don't likes ads? Why do people switch changes rather than watching a 30 second commercials. What is the truth behind those attractive products and description of the ad?

I've realized that the commercial used an advertising technique that uses testimonials. Meaning that the commercial contains people talking how great the product is, or what a difference it could make. Commercials are not supposed to hire people to say good things about their product. Although I am not sure whether or not they hired those people, but how can everyone think the same out of that crowd? Everyone thinks that the guy looks way more manly with their beside him. I think that it is very unfair because the people can't express their own thoughts because the company are paying them. This commercial also uses snob appeal, because it explains how their product can make the man look more appealing.

I think it is offensive because it is not realistic to say that a product could make a such great difference between a human being. If the person looks the same, then how does the car beside him make him more appealing. I think they are stereotyping in this commercial because they are spreading the message that a car can make others judge a person differently. We are great just the way we are. Why do we have to spend money to buy material items that doesn't change ourselves at
all?

Overall I find this commercial high offensive because they are saying that their product can help us look better. In fact the car has nothing to do with making a person look more manly or not. I think this commercial is used to trick people who has low self-esteem because those are the people who wants to look better or feel smarter. I think that commercials can be enjoyable to watch, but they shouldn't be offensive towards its viewers or others. Nothing is going to change after getting the jeep because the people who expresses their opinions in the commercial are lying.
