It’s only natural to feel a bit apprehensive about change. After all, we humans are creatures of habit and find comfort in our routines. Even when I think about my everyday life, I feel at ease with the familiar and need some time before welcoming new habits into my daily routine. It’s no wonder that many people, particularly those of the older generation, might initially resist the development of AI.

However, it’s important to recognize that AI isn’t some distant dream of the future; it’s quickly becoming reality and unfolding before our eyes. The pace of its development is unbelievable, and as it continues to evolve and improve, it becomes increasingly vital to raise awareness about its capabilities and educate all generations on how to use AI.

I’ve learned from my own experience with ChatGPT, just how incredible it can be, both for my university studies and in my professional life. During my bachelor’s program, it wasn’t as commonly utilized as it is today. Since I started my masters and learned more about AI myself. I’ve decided to make an effort in sharing this  knowledge with my family and friends, sparking conversations about its potential.

Some of my family members worry that artificial intelligence will only produce content, leaving little room for original ideas. While that might be one aspect of AI’s capabilities, it’s important to remember that it can also be a useful tool. It’s not about replacing creativity, but enhancing it. AI can be utilized in infinite ways, and, of course, you can ask it all your burning questions.

Remember those moments when you searched on Google for answers only to receive vague or confusing results? These times are in the past, thanks to ChatGPT. It understands your questions and can provide accurate, precise answers, eliminating the frustration of endless online searches. Embrace the change, for AI is here to empower and help us in ways we never could have imagined.

But what is the metaverse exactly?

The metaverse is a three-dimensional (3D) virtual universe that is enabled through Web 3.0 and can be accessed by using different technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) (Momtaz, 2022). In this digital world, you can browse to different spaces that are all connected to each other. Through avatars, people’s alter egos, you can do almost everything that you can do in the real world. You can interact socially and play games, but you can also make financial transactions and have ownership.
