Is it important to be updated on AI?

A computer student said that not knowing about AI in two years would be like not knowing about bank identification in two years time.

I disagree. AI is simply a idea generator or a robot that you feed with commands. In most peoples life it is totally redundant in my opinion. What do you think?

My husband is using this technology to further his business and it’s probably going to make him a lot of money.

I’m super excited about it.

Ai broke a technical barrier making it 1000 easier to do creative and technical work from design to programming. I imagine if I was to be a new graphic/visual/motion designer, it would super charge my abilities from ideas to execution.

But I think it’s important to understand the fundamentals of whatever you use it as a tool. Like if I was a writer. I would want to be a good writer before using it to help me write. (Edit: or maybe it can help me be a better writer).

I wonder if doctors will strike if AI starts curing diseases.

I can’t even talk about AI in most spaces without being shouted down. I can’t draw, so I love AI art tools. Finally I can do a fraction of what talented people can do.

Then again ChatGPT is going to eliminate a lot of English degree jobs I used to perform. So there’s that. But what about people who sold horses back before automobiles? We should have avoided inventing cars so they could keep their jobs, right?

In ten years AI will be commonplace, hopefully the opposition will die down when people learn to respect the new normal.

The truth is, its good for some people and bad for others as far as employment goes. But in the long run, I think the good will outweigh the bad, like most technologies.

My wife taught herself extensively about AI over the past year to the point where she is now her school division’s expert on it and she teaches other teachers how to use it. She has prompts over a page long in some cases that get the LLM to generate practice questions and long answer questions suitable for inclusion in learning units that need only minor adjustments. AI is a career booster for her.

AI will become an identity for individuals and they will help to monitor us too.
Even the chatbots in each bank apps its just the level of information provided to them.

As a techie and coder and blogger, it is useful to me. Also, it can become more useful as we experiment and figure out how to make it useful.

It’s so nice to hear about someone else getting something positive from it.
