AI is Programming You, Here’s How…

The Ghost within You

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the number of things being marketed to you? Would you like an example? Every time you watch television, don’t you feel like there’s some new medication being advertised?

Most of which could cause, but are not limited to, internal bleeding, diarrhea, blurred vision, or death. Second thought, if it causes death, it shouldn’t be offered in the first place, but hey, we’re not doctors, we’re just nerds.

You don’t believe us they’re advertising possible flatline meds? Try to stay home and watch daytime TV, you’ll go insane, we promise. Television is a sitting pharmacy, we swear.

Drug pushing aside, what is the new craze that has many in confusion? That would be Artificial Intelligence or AI, for short. How do people get this confused? Isn’t AI just the rise of machines?

Well, yes, and no. The uprise is still a way away and there are talks that we get what we deserve but that’s another topic for another time.

Today, we’ll take a look into what generative AI is, and how it can help you in some ways. Machines are taking over, we have to learn to live with them.

Generative AI, what is it? Isn’t all AI the same? No, with generative AI, programs are used to create content. Examples of this would be using AI to create and edit videos, photos, and creating stories.

Regular AI or Traditional AI operates with preset structured rules for outputs. Examples of Traditional AI would be Netflix recommendations, which miss the mark on most recommendations, or interacting with Alexa for something like checking the weather.

With generative AI, could this make you a content creator? It could however, the issue is as follows: the AI will not remember the old content it created previously and generate the same, if not similar content.

So, if you were looking for something to replace your editor, well bad news for you, good news for them, you still need them. Unless you’re going to learn how to create on your own.

You can test this right now. Open up something like Bing AI or any other AI program. Instruct the AI to write a short story about you using your name. The story will be a fictional one, but that’s the power of generative AI.

Now, if you’re considering becoming a content creator, editor, or something in the creation department. A generative AI program may be a great tool to bounce ideas back and forth.

AI has helped developers with programming/coding, and aided writers deal with writer’s block. Machines are coming for our jobs, but they can aid us to a better place if we learn how to use them to our advantage.
