Chinmayi Mandelkar’s unfiltered view on artificial intelligence
The debate surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in the creative field takes a new turn every day. In our recent conversation with ETimes, actor-filmmaker Chinmayi Mandelkar also shared his view on the use of AI. He admitted that it could be of great benefit; However, one should not rely on it completely.
Chinmay Mandelkar feels that one should not allow AI to be the boss
While speaking with us, he said: “So far, what I’ve seen from ChatGPT, he can be a good helper. But we have to be very aware that we don’t let him be our boss.” Then he added: “You can use ChatGPT to reduce your workload, par kayi baar log apna dimag ChatGPT ke pas girvi rakh dete hai.” (But sometimes people don’t use their brains when it comes to ChatGPT.) The director of the film “The Ruler: The Silent Savior” stressed that “it should not be so.”
Chinmayi Mandelkar draws the line of difference between the human brain and artificial intelligence
“What the human mind can think and what the human brain can create can be outside the box. ChatGPT will only create what it knows,” he stressed, clarifying the clear line of distinction. He believes people need to understand that AI “can be a great helper.” “I’ve tried to use it for my writing purposes,” he continued, citing an anecdote from his own experience. “It can’t create, but it can process very well and give you a good draft, perhaps. It’s wonderful.”
But the creation remains with humans until now.” “It all depends on how you use technology,” he concluded. “Atomic energy is a wonderful thing, whether it lights up cities or bombs them. The same for artificial intelligence.”
