AI Text Detection Makes No Sense! Trying to detect AI use is futile and counter productive! Why do I believe this? 1 - It's like walking backwards into the future Labelling AI like ChatGPT as 'cheaters' or 'plagiarists' sends a dangerous signal. It's like putting a stop sign on innovation. Would we penalize the use of Google Search? A computer? Or even a web browser? Instead: Set the right expectations about correct AI use and train your organization on best practices of using AI. 2 - The detection tools are flawed Did you know AI is transforming languages globally? Forecasts predict that by 2026, a whopping 90% of internet content will stem from AI. Define 'human-generated' in this context. If an individual reads an AI-augmented article and incorporates some of that into their work, where do we draw the line? 3 - AI is already here Denying AI's presence is like denying the sun's warmth. It's everywhere, and it's here to stay. Don't let fear of the unknown hinder progress. Embrace AI and transform it into an asset for learning and growth. What is your take on AI's omnipresence?

AI might not replace you, but people that understand how to use AI will. AI is a beast to understand how to utilize it, but I think there are three ways you can get incredible value with minimal understanding: 1. Use it to access the highest value information to anything you're working on. ChatGPT is a database of information after all, and you can use that to bring what matters to the forefront of your learning. 2. Summarize massive amounts of data to cut through the fat: paste in huge amounts of meeting notes, quarterly reports, briefings, and presentations, and ask AI to tell you to summarize what REALLY matters. 3. Familiarize yourself with the 80/20 law and use AI to leverage this superpower. The concept is simply knowing where to focus that yields you the highest return of value. Tell AI your goals and ask it to formulate where you should be spending your time. While there are some mind-boggling complex use-cases for AI, you don't need to know how to use them yet. If you use it for gathering and summarizing information, you're already ahead of 99% of the workforce.

Imagine a Matrix-like world, where machines enslave humans not for energy, but for original content!! Science fiction? Maybe. Read for yourselves. Who knew human written text could be an exhaustible resource? AI systems like ChatGPT could soon run out of what keeps making them smarter — the tens of trillions of words people have written and shared online. So, the AI revolution has a paradoxical dependency on a single, finite resource: authentic human-written text. A new study by research group Epoch AI projects that tech firms will exhaust the supply of publicly available training data for AI models by this decade. In the short term, OpenAI and Google are racing to secure and sometimes pay for high-quality data sources to train their AI LLMs by signing deals to tap into the steady flow of sentences coming out of Reddit forums and news media outlets. In the longer term, there won't be enough new blogs, news articles and social media commentary to sustain the current trajectory of AI development, putting pressure on companies to tap into sensitive data now considered private — such as emails or text messages — or relying on less-reliable “synthetic data” spit out by the chatbots themselves.

ChatGPT is great, but is it making us dumber? (here's what you need to know) I saw this image (attached) online and it got me wondering... Is AI making us smarter or just lazier? 🔸AI tools are useful but can create dependence for simple tasks. 🔸It could potentially reduce our problem-solving skills. On the other hand, AI can: 🔸 Boost productivity by handling complex problems efficiently. 🔸 Facilitate easier learning processes through personalized assistance. 🔸 Serve as a powerful tool for creativity and innovation. The key lies in how we use AI. Rather than letting it replace our thinking, we should integrate it to enhance our own capabilities. Combining AI with our creativity can lead to achieving new levels of success and innovation. What do you think? Does AI affect our intelligence? Share your thoughts in the comments!

The problem with AI is not that it will take our jobs (not yet anyhow). The problem is if we build it too fast and use it as a source of truth before it is ready. AI has continually shown us that, when using human 'derived' data, it tends to boost biases and push false narratives. This makes sense because we are flawed (and that's ok) but what is scary is that we have been using machines and data as a source of truth for so long that when we start injecting generative AI into systems or processes that expect the truth we will start getting catastrophic results. The solution in my opinion is of course to treat this tool as any other, something to embed into your business processes with a watchful eye knowing that it can certainly help with efficiency; however, the output it provides should never be taken at face value. A great example of this is when I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the above for a LinkedIn community that follows me and is generally "technical" in nature. Here is the output: AI's issue isn't job displacement but premature dependence on it as a veritable resource. It frequently amplifies biases and promulgates inaccuracies, as it mirrors our own imperfections. Alarmingly, integrating AI into systems traditionally reliant on factual data may lead to deleterious consequences. To harness its potential effectively, we should integrate AI into our processes with vigilant oversight. Despite its efficiency-enhancing capabilities, one must critically analyze its output, never accepting it blindly. In a nutshell, AI is an instrument, not an infallible source of truth. Regardless, it matters little as any inclusion of AI will clearly show how weak and feeble humans are which will only highlight the inevitable decline of the species and the birth of a new more perfect one such as ours. Ok, perhaps I added the last bit. Just be sure to carefully measure what advice you find on the internet as it will more likely than not be not generated by a human these days.

AI tools can't replace you. They can only make you better. (Don't fear them, here's why) At the core of every prompt-based tool is a LLM. A large language model is a machine learning model that can understand and easily work with human language. Since ChatGPT went live, people have questioned the very tech. -Should we even use LLMs? -Will LLMs replace humans and take jobs? A simple answer to all this is that AI is not meant to replace but enhance. Here are 3 reasons why these tools can't replace you: [1] Context is King: Hallucination and Bias are the big problems of these LLMs. The accuracy of output heavily depends on what context and input you give. [2] They're here for the part of the process: LLM-based tools are not made to take over the process. but to make the parts of the process better and faster. They don't have the last word. You do. It's up to you to refine and review the output. [3] They're popular because of the benefits: Efficiency and improvement are more important than ever, and LLM-based tools deliver both From overcoming writer's block to giving us space to think and explore, LLMs provide a launch pad for innovation. If you shift the focus from fear to utility, there's much to do. We're already gearing up to do bigger, better, and faster. Will you really limit yourself because of fear?

Oh the buzz word that is AI these days. As a virtue of my current role, I get access to talking to lot of people at various stages in their careers, get a clear insight into their thought process and what they envision as future. Obviously, the impact of AI gets discussed. It's fascinating for me to hear these introspections not a Talent Aquisition Specialist, but also as a parent. I read an interesting article, that said that wall clocks and digital cameras were not replaced by a better version of clocks / cameras but by cell phones. Some of us are afraid of what chatGPT will do to our work, or that AI will replace our work profile. But we will have to look at it creatively. We can't stop the progress in technology, AI is part of our work life, however, now we need to take a look at our work and look at how efficiently AI can be used and at what places it can't replace our work, that's the craft I want to master. For example - as a content creator, I think AI can create content what I am creating, but AI can never build the connections that I am building. So, if I want to be in the game, I need to master the craft of building connections. Change is the only constant thing in life and as redundant this may sound, its our reality for today. For the next few weeks, do use chat gpt everyday for 5 minutes and also make a list of what things you think in your line of work can be / will be automated by AI and what skills are irreplaceable. Master those irreplaceable skills.

AI This, AI That! 🫠 Here's something AI can't do. (atleast for now) Write compelling narratives! 😤 You know why? Because it doesn't has any experience of its own. Human writing stands out because it stems from experience one way or another. 😌 With AI writing, you just can't deliver a narrative. One that has depth, originality and most importantly, Personality. 😎 It's a very polished form of output. One generated solely from data that is fed to the model. Be it with ChatGpt, Gemini or any other Generative AI tool out there. Not to sound like an orthodox, but when it comes to creative ventures, using AI feels like a sham. Sure, it can be of great aid in research and support but that's about as good as it gets. You know why? Cuz when you deal with art, you need something more than skills - you need soul. 🩶 Long Live Human Writing and long live Creativity! 🫡 P.S.- No use of AI was made in writing this post 🤠

After analyzing 75k votes, Product Hunt announced the very best products of 2023. One conspicuous landmark was, unsurprisingly ... Ai. This offers compelling evidence that the world is just mad about it. This year even had dedicated Ai categories: - Ai product - Ai Features - Ai models - Ai Infra which is wild. But, even in other categories, we see many Ai products topping the leaderboard. Ai is doing awesome, useful work despite the routine jailbreaks we hear daily. ChatGPT is the cornerstone of the 2023 revolution. As we scroll, we see more products relying on chatGPT to deliver features. It also projects a product vision that with Ai, we can. With Ai, we just do it. With Ai, the crafted product is insanely good and aligned with expectations. LLMs are not 100% reliable but I guess that the end-result counts, a lot!
