AI Empowering Human

There’s a lot of talk going around like “AI is going to take all our jobs” or “Students won’t have work in the future because of tools like ChatGPT.”
But honestly? I’m living proof that AI doesn’t take opportunities—it creates them.

I used AI (yes, including ChatGPT) while preparing for the CUET (UG) exam, and guess what? I cracked it and got into Banaras Hindu University, one of the most prestigious universities in the country. That wasn't a small thing for me. Coming from a regular school background with limited resources, AI became my digital mentor. It helped me understand topics I struggled with, guided me through tough questions, and simplified subjects that felt overwhelming at first.

Even in school, I was already experimenting with AI tools. I used them to make my notes better, summarize chapters, generate practice questions, and even get help in revising topics. It became my silent support system. And it paid off—I scored a whopping 94.8% in my 12th boards. No expensive coaching, no late-night tuition—just smart studying, curiosity, and the ability to use technology in the right way.

And the best part? My journey with AI didn’t end after exams.

Now that I’m in university, I still use it daily—whether I’m writing academic projects, preparing presentations, understanding difficult theories, or just trying to learn something new outside the syllabus. It’s not about copying content. It’s about learning faster, working smarter, and presenting ideas more clearly. It’s like having a 24x7 intelligent companion who helps me think better and stay ahead.

So no, I don’t think AI is taking away student jobs. I think it’s changing them—and for the better.

Let’s be honest: none of us dreams of doing mindless data entry or repetitive tasks forever. And those are the first jobs AI is automating. But rather than panicking, students should feel excited—because that gives us the opportunity to focus on real growth. AI handles the boring stuff so we can focus on what really matters—creativity, strategy, communication, and ideas.

AI tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, Jasper, and more are like digital co-workers. They help us generate content faster, write better, and even spark ideas we might not have thought of on our own. But here's the thing—they don’t replace the human touch. They don’t understand cultural trends, emotional tone, or the little things that make content truly connect with people. That’s something only we can bring to the table.

And speaking of smart platforms, I recently came across Websites.co.in—a company doing something seriously cool. They’re helping micro-business owners build websites in just 15 minutes. No coding, no design headaches, no technical knowledge needed. That’s the kind of innovation that actually empowers people, instead of replacing them.

With over 4 million users across 190+ countries, they’re giving small businesses a voice in the digital world. And the fact that they’ve been featured by Google, Facebook, and Cornell just shows how forward-thinking and impactful their mission is.

Coming from BHU, I’ve seen countless local businesses—tea stalls, bookshops, craftsmen—who have amazing skills but zero online presence. Imagine what could happen if these businesses had digital storefronts powered by platforms like Websites.co.in. Students like me, who know how to use AI and digital tools, can help bridge that gap. That’s not a job being taken away—it’s a whole new type of opportunity being created.

So instead of worrying about whether AI will take our future, we should ask ourselves—are we ready to grow with it?

I am.

I’ve used AI to unlock achievements I never imagined. From school to university, from board exams to class projects—it’s been my secret weapon. I don’t see it as a threat. I see it as a partner. One that helps me work smarter, aim higher, and stay ahead of the curve.

To all students out there: Learn to use AI. Don’t fear it. Master it. Because in today’s world, the real superpower isn’t just hard work—it’s smart work.
