Like many, I’ve been flabbergasted by the huge advances we’ve seen in recent years with artificial intelligence. I’ve spent hours just playing with ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion and am consistently impressed.
I’m also aware of issues surrounding this breed of technology, like with intellectual property and black box biases. On top of that, I’m trying to avoid hype and grift. Where are you seeing AI excel, or where does it have a potential to excel? Are there places where it is being shoehorned into that should be avoided?
It excels most as a tool for summarizing, formating or calculating things that other people somewhere might’ve needed at one time, in areas where you yourself have expertise enough to quickly check its work.
Pretend it’s an army of undergrads at your command. It’s probably good stuff, but check their work. Some of its cheated, some is wrong, but as a whole most of it is probably fine for mundane uses.
