Anyone Dabbling in AI?

I watched a lengthy video last night. I may have to wait till it gets a little more simplified/automated. I can see that happening pretty soon. Oh, I'll look to see if Photoshop is using it yet.

@monicakm It's here! On the boards!

I use it as a replacement for Google. I've had good luck with it to explain simple concepts. If I need information for work I use it to obtain potential sources of information. The AI results aren't at the point yet where they can be trusted.

I've seen quite a few people create really good images and memes on X using Grok. I"m not good at creating images but am going to give it a shot soon. It looks like fun. The results I've seen are pretty impressive.

I just wrote a long research paper on generative AI. It is scary how it is going to impact us in ways we don't anticipate.

Only in that Google seems to always provide an AI answer to anything I put in the search bar except when I'm looking for obits.

As far as what QVC has to offer, if it's that sizing AI where you put in your height and weight, nope. I have no use for that. Measurements are the way to go for sizing. AI doesn't know if you're mostly fat or mostly muscle or if you are short-waisted or long-waisted, apple-shaped or pear-shaped, etc.

Not on purpose---yet. Not quite sure what it all is, altho have only heard the bad side of it--am sure I am affected by it tho--somehow for something.

All the time. I use generative AI to draft slides presentations, differentiate and translate my lessons, and draft elevator pitches for grants.

I'm not sure if people realize Google, Siri, and Alexa are all narrow AI platforms.

That's very taboo in the creative community so we are all making a decision to either use it sparingly or not at all.

Those I hang with have mainly decided no for the simple reason that in a lot of cases it violates our copyrights which we've paid to have and legally own as well as the ongoing danger to putting all human creativity out of business.

For creatives like writers, musicians, and visual/graphic artists, it's going to overtake us at some point. We're not blind to it. There is an ongoing lawsuit among writers concerning our copyrights in the courts right now. The art community has been particularly hard hit during this first wave.

Writers are battling AI along with Amazon who, to date, has been a fairly solid ally with us in trying to differentiate human written novels from AI generated ones for you the consumer most of all.

Books must be checked now when you publish via KDP if they are AI generated or not and there's hope that Amazon can tighten that even further for those who lie.

The AI books, which come primarily from Asia, are slick about pirating our work both in fiction and nonfiction. They are not being clear that it's not us but an AI generated version of us. It's easy to get the blame for a bad book when people think they are buying our work and then end up getting an AI version instead.

It's a tricky balance and I hope they get it right sooner rather than later. For those of us who have our livelihood really threatened by this, it would be nice to have some common sense laws like they did with Napster and music downloads before it gets too bad.

AI is here to stay, but there should be strong boundaries or crystal clear labeling for art in all its forms which is not human inspired, but computer generated instead.
