Early in this year when they announced several AI programs that can generate artwork and animation like a human got them in serious hot water with animators. The animation community hates the idea of companies wanting to use AI to replace their work because it is faster even though they lack the soul, creative spirit and looks that human art can give. In 2023 when Artificial Intelligence was introduced, the early promise of its technology was overshadowed by the wide range of problems that came from using copyright images and articles to create new images and text from programs like Chatgpt and many more.
A robot animator stands next to a human animator. The human animator has an obviously better image in his hand but the suit covered arms with the hands of "corporations" "animation company" and "fine arts" are all choosing the robot AI creator over the human creator.

The prices for necessities like food, homes, and healthcare have risen by 2.4%. Prices for homes and necessities are leading more people to go into poverty and homelessness. Shrinkflation is the shrinking of the quality, amount, or size of a product you get for the same price it used to be before. Inflation and shrinkflation are causing people to either pay more or get less and even sometimes both for a product and it needs to get under control.

During the winter months of December, January, and February there are over 24% weather-related crashes reported on icy roads and over 15% is reported to happen during snowfall or sleet. Wind can cause blowing snow and can cause low visibility with traffic moving slower which can increase the possibility of accidents to happen. More than 116,800 adolescents and adults combined are reported to be killed in crashes on snowy or icy roads. In 2019, where light snow killed two and caused a 50-car pileup is an example of how dangerous icy roads can be. During winter months it is a good idea to drive safely and slowly while staying cautious. Make sure your gas tank is full, and all lights work on your car when you’re driving in the winter. During the winter you should keep supplies in your car during the winter months like first aid kit, batteries, radio, flashlights, blankets, jumper cables, and emergency flares.

In conclusion, you are left with a society consumed by technology that neglects deeping the relationships that only exist within family.

Despite all the good uses AI could be put to, it can cause harm for artists who have their work stolen and copied by others. Many people will also claim that they are professional artists even though they do not actually use their own skills to create an artwork, instead having an algorithm do the work for them.

Stuck in the Past According to the Pew Research Center (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/30/house-gets-younger-senate-gets-older-a-look-at-the-age-and-generation-of-lawmakers-in-the-118th-congress/), the average age of a Senate member is 65 years old. New generations come, but the previous ones remain in charge. The government is getting too old, unable to grasp anything in the Digital Age, yet still dictating it. While the world moves on, the leaders of it remain stuck in the past.
