4) Creative Tasks - It is very helpful in designing videos , creating ghibli images , and also software coding . AI videos receive lots of likes and views on Instagram and also on other social media platforms.
DISADVANTAGES
Though it has so many uses , it is also acting as slow poison for our young minds who are just introduced to mobile or laptop uses . Let's become beware :-
1) Too much dependence - It is making users dependent to such an extent that kids seek answers for simplest maths questions that can be solved with the help of a calculator.

There is always a disclaimer given at the end of every AI question for which we seek answer
"AI may include mistakes , please consult a specialist " . Please take this disclaimer seriously.
3) Hallucination - AI has been designed in such a way that it can very confidently produce incorrect data and false facts . Kindly recheck on your end before you fell in its trap .
