Last semester, a student handed in an essay in a writing lesson that I give. The assignment was to write a stubborn piece, rich in perspective, but as I read more, I realized that there was no eye behind the “I.”
“Has Chatgpt written this?” I asked.
“Yes, I have to admit it did,” he said somewhat brutally. I was not shocked – people use ai everywhere to do a lot of their writing and thinking – but I was apparently as speechless as he had apparently been. The project had asked him to use his voice, his tension, his specific way of being in the world. I hoped that the essay was a chance for him to spend time with his own thoughts and feelings. Instead, I got syntax.
At that moment I was grateful that I also teach and practice yoga. AI may structure a yoga structure or point out new poses, but it cannot take your place on the mat.
At the end of the day you cannot outsource your downward dog. You cannot copy and paste the embodiment and stick. Nobody goes “generate flow” and disappear from their own breathing. Of course, someone can use chatgpt to explore yoga, ask questions or get tips – but no one, not even bone, can do the work to return to yourself – the work of staying human. I am so happy for that.
Yoga is the opposite of content – the contact. With yourself. With tradition. With sensation. Yoga requires presence. There is no way to cut it. Not really. You must find a way to disconnect from your feed and connect to what can only be felt.
For me, the more high -tech life becomes, the more I need it very tangible to balance it. I have to feel my chair on a yoga mat, block or blanket. To note how my breath moves my body. To view my thoughts as much as I do screens and connect my mind with silence. I think this practice is more than a counterbalance for the high -tech. It is a resistance to. It is a way to stay human and connected to others.
I now need this practice more than ever. Will you?
I predict that the more artificial intelligence seeps into everything, the more we need the real intelligence of the body, accessible via yoga. Yoga offers its own technology – an old – that keeps us connected to a wholeness outside the screen and in contact with each other.
As time passes, I started to sneak more moments of meditation and breathing in my writing lessons. I hope that a direct experience of it can help my students to write more fully.
People ask if writing teachers – and other jobs – will be replaced by AI. At the moment I have no answer. I only know this is: yoga will not be replaced. While we work to find the things that make us human, that make us feelingIt will only be more necessary.
