🧠💡Part 2: Humans vs. Algorithms A 3-Part Reflective Series


📖 Short Story: The App That Knew Me
She searched for boots. Next week, ads showed her hiking trails. Then travel vlogs. Then ads for therapy. The app whispered her next move — before she even made it.

🧠 The Predictive Power of Code
From Google to TikTok, algorithms learn our:
- habits
- moods
- insecurities
- midnight cravings

Sometimes, they know what you’ll buy, watch, or even feel — before you consciously do. That’s not magic. It’s machine learning trained on your behavior.

⚖️ But Do They Really "Understand"?
Algorithms:
- See what we click, not why we care
- Know what we consume, not what we crave
- Predict what we’ll say, not what we’ll mean

They're eerily accurate at behavior, but blind to meaning.

“Algorithms may read our minds — but only humans can read between the lines.”

Artificial intelligence as an invasive species: A closer look at this threat and its disadvantages

Ecological imbalance is due to many different reasons. One reason for this is invasive species. We frequently don't see it in our area, but we can experience its impact on our society and humanity. This is the era of computers and artificial intelligence, but it outperforms other areas, like invasive species.  As we read in biology, whenever these species are introduced into an area, they thrive, killing or nearly degrading other species in that area. Something similar is happening in underdeveloped countries and it wouldn't be wrong to say that the whole world is in a similar state where the AI is disturbing the balance of our society. It is the age of technology, but we must not ignore other fields because this will stifle creativity. We should care more about people because we are pushing digitalization to the point where everyone wants to be in the field. It doesn't matter if he cares or not, it's necessary. What if a person doesn't want to pursue it? What if so...
