In Pakistan, the day often starts with a hot cup of chai. But now, for many young people, it also starts with checking their phones not just for messages, but for help from something new: AI.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), once seen only in sci-fi movies, is now becoming a real part of everyday life. Teenagers and young adults in Pakistan are using tools like ChatGPT, voice assistants, and editing apps powered by AI without even realizing how much it’s helping them.
For students, AI has become a study partner. They use it to understand difficult topics, get help with writing assignments, or practice English. It’s not about cheating it’s about getting quick support when teachers or tutors aren’t available.
Freelancers, especially young graphic designers, writers, and video editors, are also using AI tools to save time. For example, instead of spending hours removing image backgrounds or correcting grammar, AI can do it in seconds.
Even in simple daily tasks like setting reminders, planning meals, or writing captions for social media, AI is lending a helping hand. Some even use AI apps to manage their mental health by journaling or chatting when they feel low.
But while AI is making things easier, it also comes with responsibility. It’s important not to depend on it too much and to use it wisely. Real thinking, creativity, and hard work still matter the most.
From sipping chai in the morning to finishing assignments at midnight, AI is slowly becoming a quiet helper in the background. For the young generation of Pakistan, it’s not just a tool it’s becoming a part of how they learn, work, and live.
