AI can write, think and create; then why should people learn new skills? Psychologists identify a serious problem that automation creates in human mind

AI is making coding, writing and other knowledge work faster, but its growing role is also making some workers question the need to keep learning new skills. A Reddit discussion among software developers reflects this anxiety, while psychologists warn that excessive reliance on AI can lead to cognitive offloading, weaker critical thinking and skill decay. Experts say the answer is not to stop using AI, but to use it deliberately while continuing to practise, learn and develop skills that require human judgement, creativity and problem-solving.

TN: Auto unions announce September 19 stir, demand immediate fare revision

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 10 (IANS) Auto-rickshaw trade unions in Tamil Nadu have announced a protest in Chennai on September 19, intensifying pressure on the Vijay government to revise fares that have remained unchanged for 13 years. The Federation of Auto-Rickshaw Trade Unions said drivers would assemble near Rajarathinam Stadium in Egmore, demanding an immediate government order on revised meter fares. Union representatives said nearly five lakh drivers across the state were struggling with higher fuel, maintenance and insurance costs. The decision follows three rounds of consultations held with the Transport Department since the Vijay government assumed office in May. At the latest meeting on August 27, unions submitted a fare chart proposing a minimum charge of Rs 60 to Rs 70 for the first 1.5 km and Rs 25 to Rs 30 for every additional kilometre. Passenger representatives who attended the consultations supported the demand, union leaders said. The federation has now consolidated its demand at Rs 60 for the first 1.5 km and Rs 30 for every subsequent kilometre, along with separate waiting and night charges. It said repeated discussions had produced no firm assurance. Drivers had expected a decision during the Assembly debate on the Transport Departments demand for grants. However, Transport Minister A. Vijay Tamilan Parthiban said that an announcement would be made soon, disappointing the unions. A government committee had earlier recommended, in 2024, a base fare of Rs 40 and Rs 18 for each additional kilometre. That proposal remained pending. Following the consultations, officials were understood to be considering a higher recommendation of Rs 50 as the base fare and Rs 22 to Rs 25 for every additional kilometre. The State Home (Transport) Department must take the final decision, the unions said. The last revision, introduced in 2013, fixed the minimum fare at Rs 25 for the first 1.8 km and Rs 12 for each additional kilometre. Unions argue that those rates bear little relation to present operating expenses and have made meter-based services unviable. Commuters, meanwhile, have complained that app-based aggregators impose surge pricing, while some drivers demand amounts above displayed estimates. Transport activists have called for an enforceable fare structure, tighter regulation of aggregators and action on complaints. Officials said the revision would be based on the committees recommendations, but the unions maintained that only a time-bound order could avert agitation.

Autorickshaw driver dies by suicide in Bengaluru after killing wife over reel quarrel

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 9 (IANS) A 38-year-old autorickshaw driver allegedly murdered his wife before dying by suicide following a dispute at their residence in Vibhutipura under the jurisdiction of the HAL Police Station in Bengaluru, the police said on Wednesday. The deceased have been identified as Raghavendra, son of Muniraju, and his wife, Shruthi Raghavendra, 30, a housemaid. According to the police, a family dispute is suspected to have led to the tragic incident late on Tuesday night. Raghavendra ended his life by hanging himself inside the house after stabbing her to death with a beer bottle, the police added. The couple had two children, who are currently staying with their maternal grandparents in Davanagere, near Bengaluru. At the time of the incident, only Raghavendra and Shruthi were at their Vibhutipura house. Preliminary reports suggested that the couple frequently quarrelled over Shruthis habit of watching reels on her mobile phone. The police suspect that an argument broke out on Tuesday night after Raghavendra allegedly found his wife using her phone and watching reels. The argument reportedly escalated, following which Raghavendra allegedly attacked Shruthi with a beer bottle and subsequently stabbed her in the stomach. She reportedly died at the spot. Raghavendra later ended his life by hanging himself. While the reels habit is being cited as a possible trigger for the quarrel, the police said that the exact motive and circumstances leading to the incident are yet to be established. After receiving information about the incident, the HAL Police visited the residence and conducted an inspection. The bodies were shifted for further legal procedures, and a case has been registered. The couple had reportedly fallen in love around 18 years ago while they were studying and later married with the consent of their respective families. Later, they had moved to Bengaluru from Davanagere and had purchased a house in Vibhutipura. Shruthi was reportedly working at an apartment complex. The police are continuing their investigation to establish the sequence of events and ascertain the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths of the husband and wife.

Indian auto industry sees its biggest-ever August sales at over 24.23 lakh units, up 17.51 pc

New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) The Indian auto retail industry saw its biggest-ever August sales at 24,23,201 units, up 17.51 per cent year-on-year, as two-wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, tractors and three-wheelers each set fresh August records, the data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) showed on Monday. Growth was led by wheeled construction equipment at 31.45 per cent, two-wheelers at 19.69 per cent, passenger vehicles at 16.14 per cent and commercial vehicles at 14.45 per cent, while three-wheelers grew 8.64 per cent and tractors were effectively flat at +0.84 per cent last month. However, retail sales eased 6.48 per cent over a record July on the seasonal monsoon lull and a festival calendar that shifted Ganesh Chaturthi and the spillover of Onam-led buying into September, said FADA President Sai Giridhar. Two-wheeler retails stood at 17,14,610 units in August, up 19.69 per cent YoY the best-ever August and 2Ws first genuinely new August peak since 2018. Passenger vehicle retails were 4,02,398 units, up 16.14 per cent YoY the best-ever August and the first time PV has crossed the 4-lakh mark in an August though 3.40 per cent lower month-on-month. Commercial vehicle retails came in at 90,769 units, up 14.45 per cent YoY the best-ever August though 8.93 per cent on-month on the seasonal freight lull, the data showed. Moreover, three-wheelers came at 1,22,281 units (+8.64 per cent YoY) posted their best-ever August, with EV penetration at 65.30 per cent. For September, dealer sentiment stays constructive but has moderated from Julys peak. About 67.09 per cent of dealers expect growth, 27.35 per cent a flat market and 5.56 per cent de-growth (against 74.30 per cent who expected growth heading into August). Expectations rest on the festive season proper now beginning Ganesh Chaturthi, the Onam sales spillover and the onset of Navratri with 43.59 per cent of dealers reporting festive booking pipelines already building. Against this, dealers weigh a widening monsoon deficit affecting rural enquiries, and the fresh round of OEM price increases, effective September 1, said the FADA.
