Abstract: In the era of global development, artificial intelligence has already become an integral part of human needs. This is because people are increasingly relying on AI assistance to perform various tasks in their daily lives. However, before allowing this process to continue, it is essential to pay attention to activities that can be performed without the involvement of artificial intelligence. This article analyzes the importance of human skills that artificial intelligence cannot completely replace, including empathy, creativity, critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and leadership abilities.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, AI, globalization, activity, internet, ChatGPT, technology.

The 21st century is emerging as a period of unprecedented technological advancement in human history. In particular, the rapid development of artificial intelligence is having a significant impact on human labor, thinking, and everyday life.

As the demand for artificial intelligence increases, numerous features have been developed on AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini to make people’s lives easier. For example, features such as “make a plan,” “help me write,” “analyze images,” and “brainstorm” on ChatGPT, as well as “talk things out with Gemini,” “study smarter with Gemini,” and “generate custom images in seconds” on the Gemini platform, enable people to achieve results with less effort. The “Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence,” adopted by UNESCO on November 23, 2021, provides comprehensive coverage of the economic, social, and political benefits of artificial intelligence technologies. The document highlights the need for AI assistance in international cooperation and international conferences. Furthermore, another important capability of artificial intelligence is predicting future events. The Graphcast model, developed by Google DeepMind researchers in 2023, makes it possible to forecast weather conditions up to 10 days in advance.

Despite the numerous benefits of artificial intelligence technologies, they can limit human activities in certain fields. At the same time, there are certain activities performed by humans that artificial intelligence cannot completely replace. For example, in professions such as teaching, medicine, psychology, leadership, and creative work, human emotions, experience, and individual approaches are of great importance. A teacher not only provides students with knowledge but also supports and motivates them. A doctor, in turn, understands a patient’s condition and treats them with compassion. Furthermore, a psychologist can understand a person’s mental state and provide appropriate advice. Independent thinking and the ability to generate ideas are also important in leadership and creative fields. This is because humans can express their perspectives and personal ideas naturally and fluently. A study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour in 2026 compared 9,198 individuals and artificial intelligence models in terms of creativity. According to the results, the average creative thinking score of humans was 78.26, while that of artificial intelligence was 77.90. This demonstrates that the uniqueness of human thought and creative potential remain important even in an era of advanced artificial intelligence technology.

In conclusion, artificial intelligence has a significant impact on human activities. However, certain skills can be performed without the involvement of technological advancements. Therefore, despite the ongoing development of artificial intelligence, human skills and human labor will continue to retain their importance in the future.

CINDERELLA: THE TRUTHS WE WERE NEVER TOLD

When we were children, many fairy tales were read to us. In those stories, good always triumphed over evil, those who remained patient were rewarded, and those who lived quietly, without speaking up, eventually found their happiness.

We believed in these stories. Because, as children, it is easy to believe in happy endings. But does everything really happen that way in real life?

Yesterday, I reread the story of Cinderella. And it made me think about something: perhaps this is not just a childhood memory. Perhaps, for years, we have been looking at this fairy tale from only one perspective.

We have always asked: “How did Cinderella manage to marry the prince?” But now, I have a much more important question: Why did a prince have to come before Cinderella could begin living a happy life?

Cinderella suffers under the cruelty of her stepmother and stepsisters. She works tirelessly, is humiliated, and lives like a stranger even in her own home. Her dreams, wishes, and personal boundaries seem to matter to almost no one. Yet, she remains patient.

But is patience always a virtue? Or do we sometimes teach girls to accept injustice without speaking up, calling it “patience”?

I believe this is where one of the most important psychological layers of the fairy tale begins.

Patience and silence are not the same thing.

Being patient does not mean that a person must accept humiliation or silently become accustomed to injustice. But how right is it to always live within the image of a “good girl,” wait for someone to come and change your life, and believe that you can only find happiness because of someone else?

Being a good person does not require you to forget who you are, what you want, or how much you are worth.

There is another detail that makes me think: the prince initially recognizes Cinderella through her appearance, without knowing who she really is. One night of beauty, an elegant dress, and a glass slipper change her life.

But what if Cinderella had worn her ordinary clothes that night?

Would she have been allowed into the palace?

Would she have attracted the prince’s attention?

And what if the glass slipper had never been lost?

Would her heart, kindness, and human qualities have been valued just as much, regardless of her appearance?

These questions are not an attempt to oppose the fairy tale itself. Rather, they are an invitation to reconsider the ideas about beauty, love, and happiness that have been instilled in us since childhood.

There is another truth: external help also plays an important role in changing Cinderella’s life. A fairy godmother appears, a beautiful dress emerges, and a carriage is prepared. But in real life, a fairy godmother does not appear beside every woman facing difficulties.

That is why I can no longer see this fairy tale merely as a romantic love story. It also reflects society’s expectations of women, the excessive value placed on their patience, and the danger of associating happiness with being rescued by someone else.

Of course, Cinderella’s kindness and her refusal to respond to evil with evil are qualities worth appreciating. However, the lesson we take from her story should not consist only of waiting and enduring.

I believe that today, we should teach girls not only to wait for Cinderella’s prince, but also to become the authors of their own lives.

Because not every woman needs a prince to rescue her. First and foremost, we must help her understand that she has her own potential, voice, opportunities, rights, and freedom to make independent choices.

Perhaps the greatest transformation of this fairy tale would have been if Cinderella had one day decided to change her own life instead of waiting for happiness to arrive…

Because what women need in life is not a glass slipper, but the courage to build their own path.

A Lady Beyond the Ages

A lady you are—

a light born of an autumn cloud,

a whisper from the dawn of spring,

as spring itself

flirts with you.

You walk with graceful allure,

and the roads adorn themselves

with wonder.

Hearts fall in love with you

before eyes ever do.

You are a breath of longing,

rising from the heart of a lover,

yearning and restless,

who has lost himself in loving you

and wandered in your absence.

You are the mother,

with tenderness overflowing

from hands of light;

the sister,

when the world grows gentle

to the melodies of your heart.

You are the daughter,

with a soul of beauty

and the delicate grace of a dove

that alights

upon the branch of life.

You are the beloved—

a necklace strung with pearls of joy,

a full moon in a sky

where night forgets its very name

the moment it sees you smile.

My lady,

may all your days be celebrations,

adorning our lives with beauty,

for you are, to us,

the most beautiful of all festivities.

So remain as you are—

a homeland of radiance,

a lamp that never fades.

For beauty begins with you,

and in you

every question finds its end.

Vade Retro 

After all, we are what we do to change what we are. 

(Eduardo Galeano) 

Death sings within the bones while life sobs; who, when pain descends, does not turn to prayers for relief? Burnt flesh. Excesses. A sea stained by misfortune. Passing shadows. Dark visions of a holocaust. A dismal end. An ill-fated fountainhead of graves. 

The residue of non-living upon the strongest backs. Empty sockets. Inert, undefined councils, (amidst the ebb and flow from chaos to new crusades)— Poor souls, what trials they face! What an excess of unreason! What are they, after all? Are they demonic hordes? 

Death sings its song, and requiems leave their dark, damp marks upon the days of a land shrouded in weeping. Death sings of the horror of desolation… and there is more: men march to the rhythm of Moon and Sun… and Bitterness. All things spin. Sanity is gone. Does anyone remember peace? 

How funereal the shroud woven from refuse! And to top it off, a lingering flaw that no one sets right. Oh, Nature… so tireless in banishing the “nevermore”! Homo sapiens, sing louder the song of life; and let your scepter become a voice—a *vade retro*… to the song of Satan!

THE LIGHT WE LEAVE BEHIND

Give me your hand.

We do not need to know

where the road will end.

There are wounds without scars,

silences hidden behind smiles,

and hearts that forget

how to ask for light.

Stay close.

Sometimes presence alone

is a form of love.

A hand can become a bridge,

a word can become a shelter,

a small kindness

can travel farther than we know.

Nothing given with love disappears.

It takes root quietly

in the heart of another

and waits for its season to shine.

So, when you meet tired eyes,

do not turn away.

Be the light

you once needed yourself.

Give me your hand.

Not to walk ahead,

not to arrive first,

but to arrive together.

Leaving no one behind.

MAY THERE NEVER BE AN END

And as the dawn breaks

behind the mountains,

I dream while still awake;

the morning is dawning.

I dream of you, my dearest,

the one my heart holds dear.

I wish you would come flying to me

with every new day here.

With your embrace,

make time stand still.

Do not let this love

ever come to an end.

I keep you safe

within my dreams.

When you are here beside me,

I fear nothing, it seems.

You are my morning!

You are my day!

My sweetest dream

in every way!

You are my everything!

Know that I love you madly!

Now I write to you in verses,

but I love you with my heart!

You are something beautiful,

the loveliest thing to come my way,

after so much sorrow and pain

that I have known along the way.

In my poems,

you will always live!

And carefully, within their lines,

I will keep you hidden.

Never, to anyone,

will I give you away!!!

Listen …

And the morning bird chirps 

To remind me that there’s music all around, leaves rustle and whisper that harmony is green 

My hopelessness 

Drinks from the honeycomb 

To find its thirsty 

Throat craves for more .

As the busy bee

Prepares quiet honey

Hardwork is patient 

And the reward is sweet.

When one’s

unquenched desires

Rest in slow contemplation’s lap

Hope is born 

In a merciless 

World…
