AI, or LLM, development and role in our daily lives is growing at a rapid pace. While most fields of research have been around for centuries, AI has only really taken off in the span of a century. This breakneck development speed is already starting to show problems. While AI does show possible future benefits, the AI of today falls short. From educational work in high school and college, to relationship advice, and the assistance or takeover of certain job positions, it would seem that something has to change. While not many people can make an AI, anyone can use the internet to find out about AI. This paper attempts to go over many aspects of AI at once. From the history of AI, to possible scenarios of the future with it. In-between these two points in time, current applications and impacts of AI use will be mentioned. In addition, the more recent issue of AI Induced Psychosis will be introduced, and show how the digital world can draw in people from reality. But most of all, this paper was made in the hopes of stimulating curiosity in others to find out more about this new part of our lives.
