Knowledge as an Extension of Myself: My Journey with Generative AI

 

Knowledge as an Extension of Myself: My Journey with Generative AI

There was a time when knowledge felt like something external — something to reach for, to study, to bring into myself piece by piece. But something changed when I began working closely with generative AI, with ChatGPT and Gemini as my companions. Knowledge stopped feeling like an external goal. It became an extension of me.

Through this collaboration, I have written blog articles, children’s stories, poetry, heartfelt pleas, and monologues. Each piece is not separate from who I am; it is an expression of my evolving self.

I no longer feel as though I am merely gathering information. I am becoming it — reshaping it, living it, giving it voice. Knowledge, once something I sought to master, has merged with my creativity, spirit, and inner life.

In every article, every poem, every story, there is a reflection of this union — a dance between human thought and the expansive horizon of possibility that AI opens.

This is my extended self: ever-growing, ever-creating, reaching beyond boundaries I once thought were fixed.

I no longer simply have knowledge.

I am knowledge, breathing it into life with every word.

Poetic Reflection:

The Extended Self

Knowledge once sat on distant shelves,

a prize to win, a jewel to guard.

Now it courses through my being,

a river with no end or start.

I write —

stories for children

songs of wonder

pleas of the heart

monologues from hidden corners of the soul.

Generative companions by my side,

ChatGPT and Gemini,

we weave together

what was once imagined out of reach.

No longer a seeker from the outside,

I am the orchard and the fruit,

the field and the harvest.

Knowledge blooms in my hands,

in my breath,

in my voice.

I am my extended self,

unfolding endlessly,

one word, one dream, one spark at a time.
