You Thought a Human Wrote This. You Were Wrong.

Did you think a human wrote this? If so, you just proved the point. We’re already living in a world where AI mimics our voice so well, even thoughtful readers can’t always tell the difference. That’s not a future problem. It’s a present catastrophe.

AI is here, and it’s not asking for permission. It’s shaping art, collapsing creativity, faking authenticity, and rewriting the very idea of truth. And the worst part? Most people have no idea.

The Silent Erosion of Creativity

There was a time when creativity was a human act. Flawed. Emotional. Irreplicable. Now, it’s getting replaced by templates, trained probabilities, and synthetic polish. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Sora, and others are producing blogs, images, films, music, resumes, cover letters, jokes, and even dating app messages. All generated, all sounding “correct,” all feeling deeply empty.

Five blog posts on the same topic all read the same now. Because even when they're written by humans, they're optimized to sound like AI: predictable, clean, structure-first. The loop has completed. Humans are copying the machine, and the machine was trained on humans.

This is not just a technical shift. It's a philosophical one. The strange, the flawed, the human is being optimized out.

The Collapse of Truth

Generative AI doesn't "know" anything. It doesn't fact-check. It doesn't believe. But it speaks in the tone of certainty. And most people can't tell the difference between confident nonsense and well-researched truth.

One hallucination, echoed by a thousand reposts, becomes a synthetic truth. We've trained machines to lie with style, and people are mistaking that style for authority.

What does it mean when 80 percent of what you read online sounds right but isn't real?

The Business of Deception

This isn't accidental. There's a market for faking it.

Interview Coder, a tool built by Roy Lee while still a student at Columbia University. Its purpose? To help users cheat in technical interviews by providing AI-generated answers in real time. That tool evolved into Cluely, which now offers similar capabilities across interviews, meetings, and sales calls. All while staying "undetectable."

Cluely recently raised $15 million from Andreessen Horowitz, one of the most respected venture firms in Silicon Valley.

This is deception, fully productized. Cheating is no longer a bug. It's the business model. The resume, the portfolio, the interview, all can now be assisted, masked, or outright fabricated by tools built explicitly to win trust by simulating competence.

The Climate Cost Nobody Talks About

Training a single large model like GPT-4 can emit more than 7,000 metric tons of CO2. That’s equivalent to flying over 500 people round-trip from New York to San Francisco. And that’s just one training run.

AI data centers are consuming billions of liters of fresh water annually for cooling. We're burning energy and water at an unprecedented rate just to produce better autocomplete.

And for what? To replace content nobody asked to automate.

What AI Still Can't Do

It can't grieve. It can't forgive. It can't imagine a reality it's never seen.

It can generate sympathy but not feel it. It can simulate art but not suffer for it. It can mimic vulnerability but never mean it.

When we let AI simulate these things at scale, we risk redefining emotion as style and wisdom as syntax. That’s not progress. That’s erasure.

A Path Forward

We won't stop this machine. It's too late for that. But we can still decide what not to become.

We can:

  • Protect spaces where human error, slowness, and strangeness are not just allowed but celebrated.

  • Create platforms that verify human authorship.

  • Build social norms around declaring AI use.

  • Refuse to reward fakery with funding, followers, and fame.

We need to stop treating friction as failure. Slowness is not a bug. Ambiguity is not a flaw. Realness takes time.

The New Way to Stand Out

If you want to stand out in the AI age, don’t aim for perfect. Aim for unmistakably human.

Say things a machine wouldn’t risk. Show thoughts that don’t pattern-match. Write in a voice that breaks the rules on purpose.

That’s the only scarcity left.

Meaning, Machines, and the Future

AI is not the enemy. Indifference is. Blind adoption is. The slow, silent surrender of our own minds to a tool we barely understand, that’s the threat.

It is possible to build with AI and still honor what makes us human. But it requires restraint, taste, and courage. It means knowing where to draw the line even when there's profit on the other side of it.

I'm done pretending this is fine.

I'm done pretending this can't go wrong.

And if you thought this piece was written by a human, maybe you're not done yet.

Who Am I?

 Yes, you read it right I have been asking the same question all my life. To myself my dear ones and to what do you call it? "acquaintance" I meet in my life. However, I feel someday I would get time to write all the things I have known or heard back. Till then let me procrastinate.

Amazon Web Services

To understand AWS, it's very important that you know what exactly is cloud environment. 

This environment is something which you can think of as an operating system or say your Personal Computer.

Just like your PC which have it's own memory and CPU for computing and running a program or an application similarly the program needs the same kind of environment (think instances) to run the application. Depending upon your need you can configure and install the same over cloud. So basically, We are going to buy a computer which is going to run our application and then the same can be used by multiple users & process their requests. The capacity can be increased or reduced depending on the need. 

Now coming back to AWS, as you already know it's Amazon Web Services and is mainly used for availing cloud computing services.

The basic terminologies which you will often come across are:

EC2 - Elastic Compute Cloud -> Just think of it as instance which can be configured as per the size requirement of CPU and processing power needed for the Operating System.

RDS - Relational Database Service -> Just think of it as memory which will be used to store your program, files, images etc.

S3 - This also can be used to store large files.

Cloudwatch - To monitor your instance and it's activity.

Git Tutorial

First up, for you to push and pull the code you'll need a github account and also git installed on your system. If that's done continue reading -

• Go to the project top most folder and on right click you will see 'open gitbash here'.

• Type git init

• Now, in your github account, At the top right of any of the page, you should see a '+' icon. Click on that and Select 'New Repository'. After giving it a name click on 'Create Repository'.

• You will see a page titled 'Quick Setup'

• Copy the link in input right beneath the title, which looks like https://github.com/yourepo/repo.git

• Go back to command line on your system and type - git remote add origin [copied link]

Ex: git remote add origin https://github.com/yourepo/repo.git

• Push your branch by typing - git push origin master

• That's it you're done.

Easiest Git Tutorial

First up, most probably you will want to contribute to the already existing repository. And I'm assuming you might have done all the id creation and git installation steps.

Basically you wil be using these set of commands:

• Go to the repository and copy it's link from "Add Code" section.

• Go to the folder where you want to create the local copy and open git bash by right clicking.

• Write command ->  git clone <url you copied>

• Now you'll be having your repo in your folder get inside the same.

• Now you can either create a branch to separately add your code or you can commit your code their itself.

• Most probably you'll be creating branch. 

• For creating branch get inside the repository which got cloned and then open git bash.

• Write command ->  git checkout -b "Branch Name"

• Now you write your changes and commit it their in your branch 

• For commiting the changes you must make sure that you are on the branch where you want the changes to be committed by you.

° If not on branch, type -> git checkout <branch name>

• Now at first send your changes to the staging area so as to be committed by typing -> git add .

• Now commit using -> git commit -m "Some message"

• Now before pushing your changes make sure you are having the latest pull from the base/master branch. For doing the same go to branch base/master by typing -> git checkout <master>

• Get all latest changes -> git pull

• Now again switch back to your branch by typing git checkout <your branch >

• Now merge your code with the master branch so as to take the latest changes on your branch by typing  -> git merge master 

• If there exists any merge conflict rectify it by opening your editor and making the necessary changes and then again add and commit it by following the above commiting steps.

•  Finally push the changes you did by typing ->
git push origin <branch where you want to merge>

• That's it done. 

• Hope you liked it :)

Storage Classes In C

Variables in C has a storage class and a scope. The storage class identifies the part of memory where storage is allocated for an object/variable which is declared & defined.It defines how long the storage allocation continues to exist. It also determines the scope which specifies the part of the program over which a variable name is visible, i.e. the variable is accessible by name. There are four storage classes in C:

* automatic: Used with auto keyword in local scope.Initializes with garbage values if not defined.

* register: Used for frequently used variables.Initializes with zero if not defined.

* external: Used for global scope.Initialized with zero If not defined.

* static: Used for retaining the value during function calls.Initializes with garbage values if not defined.

Need is to develop an intellect crowd instead of searching

With sudden urge inside the society, it seems people are interested in the click to know more section since they have no work to do neither they have the ability to control their guts. Well, people have some set of gut feelings which all of a sudden can change their perception about any of the things present around them.

We can use this urge as a resource for one kind and development(if experimented repeatedly) For example let's take some set of students who are looking to understand and express their opinion about things and their thought.One can be developed as an asset for the future as he/she tends to help the surrounding around and explore the beauty of nature filled with magic.

At least give a try at things to a child who is showing some interest it really can be beneficial in the long run.Help people know their secret to learn more about.It really would help them know about their ability to realize their potential.

Make sprints about the working culture so that knowledge sharing groups can be found in much ease.

Today i came across an internship fair to learn about internship schemes and requirements and i assume companies will try to understand that the internship leads to brain development in a guided path and they can guide people in  best possible manner.

First of mine.

So now when I have started writing it i gotta be telling you how it came to writing.
There was a time back in school when I used to write each and everyday though with poor or no sense( though i am continuing it now because i have no clue what the reaction would be ).
My life has been exhalirating and there is not even a single evidence in my life where i could prove I'm better( though i still feel it ) than else.
Infact I'm writing now to re read it. Because i don't know whether I'm going to post it or not.Anyways back to the point of me introducing myself. I am Ravi Raj. I hail from one of the most diverse place in the world. I study computer science. I read a lot and all you will know in this blog is how I plan everything in my mind while i read anything.

The first thing which i want to tell you about is i am a big tech enthusiast though i don't own an iPhone or Alienware kinda gadgets because of you know? student issues. I have learnt so many things but i don't know how i am going to tell you what i am thinking inside  *Pease don't forgive me if i do  something wrong* because i really want to express the best of mine.Having assured this let me end it. So that you can wait and i can exaggerate.I would be telling you atleast one story everyday till i die. You may like it or may kill me so that i stop writing. Thanks.
