Five Points #45: AI is eating the world

Lately, it's all about AI. Artificial intelligence has been around for a long time, but everyone has been talking about it ever since the ChatGPT came out. It's like a computer that can talk back to you but with a bit more intelligence than your typical chatbot. This AI is trained on large conversation datasets, enabling it to generate meaningful responses and hold natural conversations with people.

It's an incredible technology, and I'm looking forward to seeing the possibilities it can bring to our lives.  For now, I'm just excited to see where the future of AI takes us.

It's incredible, though, how many people are trying to "fight" it. That's a common fearful response to the unknown, and it's what I see at work every day — most people are resistant to change. The lizard brain is what helped us survive. But we need a growth mindset if we want to thrive.

AI can be scary. But instead of fighting it (that battle is already lost), let's try using it to leap forward.  Garry Kasparov says the true power lies in Man + Machine teaming up.

So, I teamed up with my favorite AI service, Jasper.AI, and it (he, she?!) helped me write this article. It even created the above-featured image based on a prompt. And finally, Grammarly is another AI-powered product correcting my mistakes.  I am merely a curator here.
