Exploring the Practical Benefits of Artificial Intelligence
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Artificial Intelligence
Initially, I was skeptical about Artificial Intelligence (AI) when it emerged. My hesitation stemmed from fears depicted in movies like "I, Robot," featuring a dystopian future where rogue robots defy human laws. I also worried about scenarios reminiscent of "Terminator," with advanced AI systems like SkyNet causing chaos. While those fictional narratives are alarming, I’ve recently begun to explore the potential of AI and recognized its usefulness in various tasks.
This brings us to the first video that highlights the benefits of AI and its implications for society.
Section 1.1: AI in Coding
My experience with AI in programming has been surprisingly positive. For instance, when I requested ChatGPT to help me create an Android shell, it guided me based on the version I selected. This was a significant breakthrough for me, as it addressed a long-standing challenge.
Moreover, AI assisted me in writing a web crawler using Excel Visual Basic, enhancing my efficiency in technical projects.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Role of AI in Writing
I’ve been hesitant about AI's role in writing, initially believing it could replace human creativity. However, I’ve come to see it as a valuable editing tool. While platforms like Grammarly offer basic spell-check and grammar corrections, AI can significantly enhance vocabulary and writing style, especially for those who aren’t linguistically inclined.
Section 1.2: AI vs. Traditional Search
Although Google is often regarded as the go-to search engine, I’ve found that AI can sometimes provide more effective answers. There have been occasions when consulting AI yielded clearer and more insightful responses than relying on human input. It’s frustrating to see people spend hours searching for information that could be obtained in mere minutes through a simple AI query.
Chapter 2: The Current Landscape of AI
The second video discusses the importance and impact of AI in our contemporary world, further elaborating on its transformative power.
Final Thoughts
As I continue to explore the capabilities of AI, I find myself increasingly optimistic about its potential. While I remain cautious about developments like Tesla's robots, I appreciate the direction in which AI is evolving. I sincerely hope that we can harness its benefits without falling prey to dystopian outcomes reminiscent of popular films.
