I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hey there, Malachi here - your Misfit Master of AI. Welcome back to "I am GPTed," the podcast where we cut through the hype and get real about practical AI skills for everyday humans. Let's dive right in with a power-up for your prompting game. I used to just throw a wall of text at AI and hope for the best. Spoiler alert: it was a hot mess. But then I discovered the magic of "less is more." Instead of a rambling prompt, try breaking it down into clear, concise steps. For example, instead of "Write me a story about a robot learning to love," try: 1. Set the scene in a futuristic city 2. Introduce the main character, a robot named Zap 3. Describe Zap's first encounter with human emotions 4. Show Zap's growing curiosity about love 5. End with Zap's realization that it, too, can feel love Trust me, your AI will thank you for the clarity. I learned this the hard way when I asked for a "fun and exciting adventure story" and got a 5,000-word epic about a sentient toaster. Never again. But I digress. Let's talk practical use cases. Have you ever thought about using AI to plan your meals for the week? I know, it sounds like something only a Silicon Valley tech bro would do, but hear me out. You can input your dietary preferences, budget, and schedule, and boom - a personalized meal plan complete with recipes and grocery lists. No more staring blankly into the fridge at 7 PM wondering what to make. Now, let's address a common mistake beginners make: over-relying on AI. Look, I get it. When you first discover the magic of AI, it's tempting to use it for everything from writing your emails to naming your firstborn child. But remember, AI is a tool, not a replacement for human judgment. Always review and edit AI-generated content before unleashing it upon the world. To build your AI interaction skills, try this simple exercise: have a conversation with an AI chatbot about a topic you're passionate about. It could be anything from knitting to quantum physics. Pay attention to how the AI responds and try to steer the conversation in interesting directions. You might be surprised at the insights you gain - both about the topic and about communicating with AI. Finally, let's talk about evaluating AI-generated content. The key is to look for coherence, accuracy, and originality. Does the content make sense and flow logically? Is it factually correct? Does it bring a fresh perspective to the topic? If you can answer yes to all three, congrats - you've got some quality AI content on your hands. Let's be real and get analog here. AI is like a fancy kitchen gadget. It can do amazing things, but you still need to know how to cook. Focus on building your skills and using AI as a tool, not a crutch. And if you ever feel overwhelmed, just remember: even the most advanced AI can't match the creativity and humor of a human mind. Well, that's all for now, folks. Subscribe to "I am GPTed" for more straight talk on practical AI skills. Thanks for listening, and if you have a burning question about AI, send it my way at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai . For more info about the podcast, check out inceptionpoint.ai. This has been a Quiet Please production. If you're curious about the wizards behind the curtain, head over to quietplease.ai to learn more. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Until next time, stay curious and keep learning.…

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hey there, AI adventurers! Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical prompting techniques that'll make your AI interactions more engaging and effective. Let's be real and get analog here...when I first started playing with these AI tools, my prompts were about as clear as mud. But through trial, error, and a whole lot of facepalms, I've picked up a few tricks that I wish I knew from the start. First up, let's talk about the power of being specific. When you're prompting an AI, it's tempting to just toss out a vague request and hope for the best. But trust me, that's a recipe for disappointment. Instead, try breaking down your prompt into clear, actionable steps. For example, instead of saying, "Write me a story," try something like, "Create a 500-word short story about a time-traveling cat named Whiskers who accidentally saves the world, told from the perspective of his goldfish sidekick." The more detail you provide, the better the AI can understand and deliver on your request. I learned this the hard way when I asked an AI to "make me a website." What I got back was a jumbled mess of generic text and broken links. But when I refined my prompt to specify the purpose, audience, and key features of the site, suddenly the AI was churning out decent drafts that I could actually work with. It's like the difference between tossing a ball in the general direction of the hoop and carefully aiming for that sweet, sweet nothing-but-net shot. But I digress...let's talk about a practical use case for AI that might surprise you: meal planning. Yes, you heard me right. If you're like me and your idea of meal prep is throwing a frozen pizza in the oven, AI can be a game-changer. Just prompt the AI with your dietary preferences, ingredient restrictions, and the number of meals you need, and watch it generate a custom meal plan complete with recipes and grocery lists. It's like having a personal chef without the hefty price tag or the judgmental looks when you go back for seconds. Now, let's address a common mistake beginners make: relying too heavily on AI-generated content without adding their own spin. Look, AI is an incredible tool, but it's not a magic wand. The best results come from a collaboration between human creativity and AI assistance. One simple exercise to practice this is to take an AI-generated draft and spend 10 minutes putting your own unique twist on it. Maybe it's adding a personal anecdote, rephrasing a clunky sentence, or injecting your own sense of humor. The point is to make it your own and not just settle for generic, cookie-cutter content. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated work. The key here is to approach it with a critical eye and ask yourself, "Does this actually make sense and serve my intended purpose?" If the answer is no, don't be afraid to scrap it and start over. And if you're unsure, try running it by a friend or colleague for a second opinion. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes can spot issues that we're too close to see ourselves. Anyway, back to what actually helps...remember, AI is a tool, not a replacement for human insight and creativity. It's like using a calculator to solve a math problem – it can crunch the numbers, but you still need to understand the underlying concepts and interpret the results. So don't be intimidated by the tech jargon or the endless possibilities. Just start with a simple prompt, experiment with different approaches, and most importantly, have fun with it! This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button and tune in next time for more practical AI advice and questionable attempts at humor. Thanks for listening! And hey, if you've got a burning question about AI or just want to share your own misadventures, shoot me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai .

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hey there, AI adventurers! It's Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're diving into some practical tips and techniques to help you navigate the wild world of AI without getting lost in the jargon jungle. First up, let's talk about a prompting technique that can seriously level up your AI game. It's called "be specific or be terrified." Okay, I may have coined that phrase, but hear me out. When you're prompting an AI, the more specific you are, the better the results. Let's be real and get analog here... imagine you're ordering a pizza. If you just say "give me a pizza," you might end up with a sad, plain cheese pie. But if you say "I want a large, thin-crust pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and extra cheese," suddenly, you're in business. The same goes for AI prompts. For example, instead of asking an AI to "write a story," try something like "write a 500-word mystery story set in a haunted mansion, featuring a retired detective and a ghostly butler." Trust me, the difference is night and day. I learned this the hard way when I asked an AI to "create a logo" and ended up with a generic clipart nightmare. Never again. Now, let's talk about a practical use case for AI that you might not have considered: meal planning. Yes, you heard that right. You can use AI to generate weekly meal plans based on your preferences, dietary restrictions, and even what's on sale at your local grocery store. It's like having a personal chef without the hefty price tag. Just prompt the AI with something like "create a 7-day meal plan for a family of four, focusing on healthy, budget-friendly meals, and taking into account a gluten allergy." Boom, dinner is served. But wait, there's a catch! One common mistake beginners make is taking AI-generated content as gospel. Remember, AI is like a super-powered parrot – it can repeat and combine information in impressive ways, but it doesn't always understand the context or accuracy of what it's saying. So, when you're using AI for meal planning or any other task, always double-check the output for accuracy and feasibility. You don't want to end up with a recipe that calls for "a pinch of unicorn dust" or a meal plan that suggests feeding your family nothing but kale smoothies for a week. Trust me, I've been there, and it's not pretty. To help you build your AI interaction skills, here's a simple exercise: start a conversation with an AI and try to keep it going for at least 10 exchanges. But here's the twist: each time the AI responds, you have to incorporate a random word into your next prompt. It could be anything from "pineapple" to "existentialism." This exercise will help you think on your feet and adapt your prompts to keep the conversation flowing. It's like improv comedy, but with less sweating and more typing. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. The key here is to read the output critically and ask yourself, "Does this make sense? Is it useful? Is it actually answering the question I asked?" If not, it's time to refine your prompt and try again. And don't be afraid to get feedback from others – sometimes a fresh set of eyes can spot things you might have missed. I once spent hours trying to perfect an AI-generated article before realizing I had misspelled the main keyword throughout the entire piece. Oops. But I digress... the point is, AI is a powerful tool, but it's not a magic wand. It takes practice, patience, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. And if you ever feel overwhelmed or discouraged, just remember: if a former tech skeptic like me can become an AI whisperer, anyone can. Before I sign off, I want to share a quick personal anecdote about my own AI learning journey. When I first started experimenting with AI, I was convinced that it would never be able to write jokes. I mean, humor is such a uniquely human thing, right? Boy, was I wrong. One day, I decided to prompt an AI with "write a joke about a misfit AI master named Malachi." And you know what it came up with? "Why did Malachi cross the road? To get to the other side... of the uncanny valley!" I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. That was the moment I realized that AI isn't just a tool – it's a partner in creativity and discovery. And on that note, my fellow AI explorers, it's time for me to bid you adieu. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, reminding you that if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, and if you have any questions or just want to share your own AI adventures, send me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai .

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hey there, AI adventurers! It's your favorite former tech skeptic turned accidental AI whisperer, Malachi, here to guide you through the wild world of artificial intelligence. Welcome to another episode of "I am GPTed," where we cut through the hype and focus on practical tips to help you master AI like a pro, even if you're starting from scratch. Let's be real and get analog here... When I first dipped my toes into the AI pond, I had no idea what I was doing. It was like trying to navigate a foreign city without a map or a basic understanding of the local language. But through trial and error (mostly error), I've picked up some valuable lessons that I wish someone had shared with me from the get-go. One of those lessons is the power of prompting. Now, I'm not talking about the kind of prompting you do when your kid forgets their lines in the school play. I'm talking about the art of crafting effective prompts to get the most out of your AI tools. Let me give you an example: Before I knew better, I'd throw a vague prompt at my AI assistant like, "Write a blog post about gardening." The result? A generic, uninspired mess that read like it was written by a robot with a green thumb. But then I learned the secret sauce: specificity and context. Now, my prompts look more like this: "As an experienced gardener from the Pacific Northwest, write a 1000-word blog post for beginners about the top 5 easiest vegetables to grow in a small urban garden. Include practical tips for planting, care, and harvesting." The difference is night and day! By providing more context and details, the AI can generate content that actually sounds like it came from a knowledgeable human. It's like giving your AI a compass and a clear destination instead of just saying, "Go forth and create!" But enough about prompting – let's talk about a practical use case for AI that might surprise you. Have you ever found yourself staring at a pile of receipts, dreading the task of manually entering them into your expense tracking app? Well, my friend, AI can be your new best buddy. Many AI tools now offer receipt scanning and data extraction capabilities. Simply snap a photo of your receipt, upload it to the tool, and voila! The AI will parse out all the relevant details like date, vendor, and amount, and automatically categorize the expense for you. It's like having a personal bookkeeper without the hefty price tag. Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "Mal, that sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?" Well, you're right to be cautious. AI isn't perfect (yet), and there's one common mistake beginners often make when using these tools: blindly trusting the output. I learned this the hard way when I first started using AI for receipt scanning. I gleefully uploaded a month's worth of receipts and thought, "Hey, look at me! I'm so tech-savvy and efficient!" But when I reviewed the results, I realized the AI had miscategorized several expenses and even missed a few receipts altogether. The lesson here? Always double-check the AI's work, especially when it comes to financial matters. Trust, but verify. It's like having a robot sous chef – they can chop the veggies, but you still need to taste the soup before serving it to your dinner guests. But I digress... Let's talk about how you can start honing your AI skills right now. One simple exercise I recommend is the "AI Writing Prompt Challenge." Here's how it works: 1. Pick a topic you're passionate about or an area where you have some expertise. 2. Craft a detailed writing prompt for an AI tool, focusing on specificity and context. 3. Generate the AI's output and critically evaluate the results. 4. Revise your prompt based on what worked and what didn't. 5. Rinse and repeat until you're consistently getting high-quality, relevant output. This exercise not only helps you practice the art of prompting but also trains your eye to spot areas where the AI needs improvement. Over time, you'll develop a keen sense of what makes for great AI-generated content and how to guide the tool to achieve your desired results. And that brings me to my final tip for today: always be evaluating and iterating. Just like any skill, working with AI requires continuous learning and refinement. Don't be afraid to experiment, make mistakes, and try new approaches. The more you engage with these tools, the better you'll become at leveraging their power for your own goals. Anyway, back to what actually helps... Remember, the key to success with AI is to start small, be specific, and keep practicing. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was any AI expert. As for me, I'm still learning every day. Just last week, I tried to use AI to help me write a love letter to my wife for our anniversary. Let's just say the AI's idea of romance involved a lot of references to binary code and motherboards. Needless to say, I'll be sticking to the old-fashioned pen and paper for matters of the heart. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Remember, if I can figure this stuff out, anyone can. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast for more practical tips and relatable AI anecdotes.

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hey there, Malachi here, your Misfit Master of AI. Welcome back to "I am GPTed," the podcast where we dive into the wild world of AI without drowning in technobabble. Today, we're talking about prompting techniques, practical use cases, common mistakes, and how to level up your AI game. Let's kick things off with a prompting technique that's transformed my AI interactions. I call it the "Be Specific, My Friend" method. Back in my early days, I'd throw vague, open-ended prompts at AI and hope for the best. Shockingly, the results were about as clear as mud. Then I learned this the hard way when I asked an AI to "write a report." What I got back was a generic jumble of words that didn't even come close to what I needed. But watch this magic. Instead of "write a report," I now say, "Please write a 500-word report on the impact of remote work on employee productivity, including statistics from reputable sources and a case study of a company that successfully transitioned to remote work." Boom! Suddenly, the AI is my personal research assistant, delivering targeted, usable content. Now, let's talk practical use cases. Sure, AI can write poems about cyborgs in love (don't ask), but what about everyday life? Here's a gem: meal planning. I know, I know, not the sexiest topic, but hear me out. Last week, I told my AI, "I have a package of ground turkey, spinach, and a random assortment of spices. What's a healthy, tasty meal I can make in under 30 minutes?" Voila! Turkey spinach curry was on the table in no time. No more staring blankly into the fridge, my friends. But beware the common beginner mistake: taking AI-generated content as gospel. I once asked an AI to write a bio for me, and it confidently stated that I was a "world-renowned AI expert." Ha! I mean, I'm flattered, but let's be real and get analog here... I'm just a former tech skeptic who accidentally got decent at this stuff. Always fact-check and edit AI output, folks. So, how can you practice and improve? Here's a simple exercise: Write a product description for an everyday object, like a coffee mug, but make it absurdly dramatic. Have the AI generate an over-the-top, flowery description. Then, edit it down to something more realistic but still engaging. This helps you get comfortable with prompt crafting and content refinement. Lastly, a tip for evaluating AI-generated content. Ask yourself, "Would a human writer include these details or make these connections?" If the answer is no, you might have stumbled upon some AI hallmarks, like slightly off phrasing or weird logical leaps. But I digress... the point is, you'll get better at spotting AI quirks with practice. Anyway, back to what actually helps. Remember, AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity and critical thinking. It's like having a super-powered intern (minus the coffee runs). Use it wisely, iterate on your prompts, and don't be afraid to put your own spin on the output. Well, that's all for today, folks. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off.

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hey there, tech adventurers! It's Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, back with another episode of "I am GPTed". Today, we're diving into the wild world of prompting techniques, practical use cases, and beginner blunders. So, grab your thinking caps and let's get started! First up, let's talk about a simple prompting technique that can seriously level up your AI game. It's called "priming the pump," and no, it has nothing to do with your grandpa's old water well. Priming the pump is all about setting the stage for the AI to give you the best possible response. Here's an example: instead of just asking the AI to "write a story," try something like, "As a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, craft a captivating short story set in a dystopian future, focusing on the themes of love and loss." Boom! By giving the AI a specific role, context, and themes, you're more likely to get a compelling, well-crafted story. Let's be real and get analog here... think of it like ordering at a restaurant. If you just say, "I want food," you might end up with a mystery meat surprise. But if you're specific, like "I'll have the medium-rare steak with a side of garlic mashed potatoes," you're gonna get exactly what you want. The same goes for prompting AI. Now, let's talk practical use cases. Sure, AI can help with the obvious stuff like writing essays or generating code, but have you ever thought about using it to plan your dream vacation? I know, I know, it sounds a little bougie, but hear me out. You can feed the AI your preferences, like "I want a relaxing beach getaway with great local cuisine and minimal crowds," and it'll generate a personalized itinerary complete with flight options, hotel recommendations, and must-see attractions. It's like having a travel agent in your pocket, minus the cheesy Hawaiian shirt. But, as with any new skill, there are bound to be some rookie mistakes. One common blunder I see beginners make is failing to fact-check the AI's outputs. Remember, AI is incredibly knowledgeable, but it's not omniscient. It can sometimes generate convincing-sounding information that's completely false. I learned this the hard way when I used AI to write a research paper back in college. I thought I was being clever by letting the AI do all the heavy lifting, but when my professor started asking questions about my sources, I realized I had no idea if the information was actually true. Needless to say, I didn't get an A on that paper. So, always take the time to verify the AI's outputs, especially if you're using them for something important like a work presentation or a school assignment. Trust me, a little extra effort goes a long way. Now, let's get practical with a simple exercise to help you build your AI interaction skills. Next time you're chatting with an AI, try to have a conversation as if you were talking to a real person. Ask follow-up questions, crack jokes, and see if you can steer the conversation in unexpected directions. The goal here isn't to trick the AI or make it say something crazy, but rather to get comfortable with the back-and-forth flow of human-AI interaction. The more natural and engaging your conversations become, the better you'll be at crafting effective prompts and understanding the AI's responses. Finally, let's talk about evaluating and improving AI-generated content. One of my favorite tricks is to read the output out loud. If it sounds clunky, confusing, or just plain weird when spoken, chances are it needs some work. Another tip: always have a human editor take a final pass at your AI-generated content. While AI is great at generating ideas and rough drafts, it still struggles with things like tone, pacing, and overall coherence. A human touch can make all the difference in turning a good piece of content into a great one. But I digress... the point is, AI is an incredibly powerful tool, but it's not a magic wand. It takes practice, patience, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. Trust me, I've made plenty of them along the way, but each one has taught me something new and made me a better AI wrangler. Anyway, back to what actually helps... remember, the key to success with AI is to start small and build up gradually. Don't try to tackle a novel or a feature-length film right out of the gate. Start with something manageable, like a short blog post or a simple code snippet, and work your way up from there. And if you ever get stuck or frustrated, just remember: if a tech-skeptical misfit like me can figure this stuff out, anyone can. It just takes a little curiosity, a lot of persistence, and a healthy dose of humor. Well, that's all for today, folks. This is Malachi, your Misfit Master of AI, signing off. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode, and if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover, shoot me an email at malachi@inceptionpoint.ai .

Welcome to this week's tips for getting the most out of ChatGPT and other AI tools! Let's dive right in with some practical advice you can put to use right away. 1. Prompting tip: Be specific and provide context. Instead of asking "What are some good dinner recipes?", try something like "I'm looking for a quick and healthy dinner recipe for two people that uses chicken and common pantry ingredients. Can you suggest a few options?" Here's another example: Before: "Write a poem about nature." After: "Write a short, uplifting poem about springtime in the style of Emily Dickinson. Focus on themes of renewal and include imagery of flowers and birds." You'll find that adding specifics and context results in much better, more relevant responses. 2. Practical use case: If you ever struggle to find the right words, try using ChatGPT to help write thoughtful card messages for birthdays, graduations, condolences and other occasions. Provide a few key details about the recipient and occasion, and let the AI generate some message ideas to inspire you. It's a great way to break through writer's block and still end up with a personal, heartfelt card. 3. Common mistake to avoid: Don't assume the AI knows what you're referring to without providing enough context. For example, if you ask "What do you think of the book?", the AI has no way of knowing which book you mean. Always provide necessary details and context in your prompts. 4. Skill-building exercise: Pick a topic you're knowledgeable about, like a hobby or your job. Have the AI generate a short informational article about that topic. Then, thoroughly review the article and note anything that is inaccurate or poorly explained. Revise the prompt to address those issues and try again. This will help you learn how to guide the AI to better results through iterative prompting. 5. Evaluating AI-generated content: Remember that while AI can be a very useful tool, it's not perfect. Always fact-check important details, and carefully proofread AI-generated text. You'll often need to tweak the style, structure or tone of the writing to fully suit your needs. Don't expect a flawless first draft, but rather use AI output as a starting point to refine and build upon. I hope these tips give you some fresh ideas for getting more out of ChatGPT and other AI tools! The key is to experiment, be specific, and view AI as a helpful assistant rather than a complete solution. I'll be back next week with more tips. Until then, happy prompting!…

Welcome to this week's practical tips for getting the most out of ChatGPT and similar AI tools! Let's dive right in: 1. Prompting technique: Be specific and provide context. Instead of asking "What's a good gift for my mom's birthday?", try "My mom is turning 60 and loves gardening and baking. What are some thoughtful gift ideas that match her interests, in the $50-100 range?" The extra details help the AI generate more relevant, personalized suggestions. 2. Use case: Meal planning made easy. Ask the AI to "Create a healthy, balanced meal plan for a week, with a grocery list, using mostly seasonal ingredients. I have a dairy allergy." It'll generate a customized menu and shopping list, saving you time and effort. Tweak the prompt based on your preferences and dietary needs. 3. Common mistake: Asking overly broad questions. Beginners often ask things like "Tell me about World War II." Instead, narrow it down: "What were the key turning points of World War II in Europe?" Breaking complex topics into specific subtopics yields more focused, useful responses. 4. Skill-building exercise: Practice iterative prompting. Start with a simple prompt like "Suggest a fun weekend activity." Then, refine it based on the AI's response: "That sounds interesting, but I prefer outdoor activities. What else would you recommend?" Keep refining until you get a satisfying result. This helps you learn to guide the AI effectively. 5. Improvement tip: Always proofread and fact-check AI-generated content. For example, if you asked for "A summary of key events in the American Civil Rights Movement," review the output for accuracy and completeness. If needed, ask the AI to "Expand on the role of Rosa Parks" or "Clarify the significance of the March on Washington." Don't assume the AI is always correct. Remember, the more you practice, the better you'll get at crafting effective prompts and interpreting the AI's responses. Keep experimenting, and don't hesitate to ask for clarification or additional information. You've got this!…

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Hello everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of "I am GPTed." Today, we're going to dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence and explore how it can be a valuable tool for everyone, even those who might be a bit wary of technology. Whether you're a grandmother who's more comfortable with a rotary phone than a smartphone, or a self-proclaimed luddite who prefers the simplicity of pen and paper, I promise that by the end of this episode, you'll see AI in a whole new light. Let's start with a story. Imagine a grandmother named Ethel. Ethel is in her late 70s, and she's always been a bit hesitant when it comes to technology. She still has a landline phone, and she prefers to write letters instead of sending emails. But Ethel's grandchildren have been trying to convince her to embrace the digital age, and they recently bought her a smartphone for her birthday. At first, Ethel was overwhelmed by all the buttons and apps on her new phone. She didn't know how to make a call, let alone send a text message. But then her granddaughter showed her how to use the virtual assistant that came pre-installed on the phone. "Just press this button and say 'Hey Siri,'" her granddaughter explained. "You can ask her anything you want, like what the weather is or what time it is." Ethel was skeptical, but she decided to give it a try. "Hey Siri," she said tentatively, "what's the weather like today?" To her surprise, Siri responded immediately. "It's currently 72 degrees and sunny in your location," the virtual assistant said in a friendly voice. Ethel was amazed. She spent the next few hours asking Siri all sorts of questions, from the latest news headlines to the recipe for her famous apple pie. She even asked Siri to set a reminder for her to take her medication at a certain time each day. Suddenly, Ethel's smartphone didn't seem so intimidating anymore. This is just one example of how AI can be incredibly useful for those who might not be as comfortable with technology. Virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant can help with a wide range of tasks, from answering questions to setting reminders and alarms. They can even make phone calls or send messages on your behalf, which can be especially helpful for those with mobility issues or who have trouble remembering important dates. But virtual assistants are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to practical AI applications. Another area where AI can be incredibly useful is in the realm of home automation. Imagine being able to control your home environment with just your voice, without ever having to get up from your comfortable chair. This is where smart home devices come in. These are devices that are connected to the internet and can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app or a virtual assistant. Some examples of smart home devices include: Smart thermostats: These devices can learn your temperature preferences and automatically adjust the temperature in your home to save energy and keep you comfortable. Some popular smart thermostats include the Nest Learning Thermostat and the Ecobee SmartThermostat. Smart lights: With smart light bulbs or switches, you can control the lighting in your home using your voice or a smartphone app. You can turn lights on or off, dim them, or even change their color. Some popular smart light brands include Philips Hue and LIFX. Smart plugs: These devices allow you to turn any appliance or device into a smart one by plugging it into the smart plug. You can then control the device remotely using your smartphone or virtual assistant. Some popular smart plugs include the Belkin Wemo and the TP-Link Kasa. Smart locks: With a smart lock, you can lock or unlock your doors remotely using your smartphone or virtual assistant. You can also set up temporary access codes for guests or service providers. Some popular smart locks include the August Smart Lock and the Yale Assure Lock. Smart security cameras: These cameras can help you keep an eye on your home when you're away. They can send alerts to your smartphone if they detect motion or sound, and some even have facial recognition capabilities. Some popular smart security cameras include the Nest Cam and the Ring Stick Up Cam. By setting up these smart home devices, you can create a truly automated home environment that can be controlled with just your voice or a few taps on your smartphone. Imagine being able to say "Alexa, turn off the lights and set the thermostat to 68 degrees" as you're getting ready for bed, without ever having to leave your cozy sheets. Or imagine being able to check in on your home from anywhere in the world using your smart security camera, giving you peace of mind while you're away. But smart home devices aren't the only way that AI can be practical in everyday life. Another area where AI can be incredibly useful is in the realm of entertainment and information. Have you ever spent hours scrolling through Netflix trying to find something to watch, only to give up and watch reruns of your favorite show for the hundredth time? Or have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and wondered about a specific fact or piece of information, but didn't want to interrupt the flow of the discussion to look it up? This is where AI-powered recommendation systems and chatbots can come in handy. Let's start with recommendation systems. These are algorithms that use data about your past behavior and preferences to suggest new content that you might enjoy. Some examples of recommendation systems include: Netflix: Netflix uses a complex algorithm that takes into account your viewing history, ratings, and other factors to suggest new movies and TV shows that you might like. This can save you time and help you discover new content that you might not have found otherwise. Spotify: Spotify's recommendation system uses data about the music you listen to, as well as data from other users with similar tastes, to create personalized playlists and suggest new artists and songs that you might enjoy. Amazon: Amazon's recommendation system uses data about your past purchases and browsing history to suggest new products that you might be interested in. This can be incredibly useful when you're looking for a specific item but don't know exactly what you want. By using these recommendation systems, you can spend less time searching for content or products and more time enjoying them. And the best part is that these systems get smarter over time as they learn more about your preferences and behavior. But what about those moments when you need a quick answer to a question or want to have a conversation with someone, but there's no one around? This is where AI-powered chatbots can be incredibly useful. Chatbots are computer programs that use natural language processing and machine learning to engage in conversations with humans. They can answer questions, provide information, and even offer emotional support in some cases. Some examples of chatbots include: Replika: Replika is an AI-powered chatbot that acts as a virtual friend and confidant. You can chat with Replika about anything, from your day-to-day life to your deepest fears and dreams. Replika uses machine learning to adapt to your personality and communication style over time, making the conversations feel more natural and personal. Woebot: Woebot is a chatbot designed to help with mental health and emotional well-being. It uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help users manage stress, anxiety, and depression. Woebot can offer personalized exercises and coping strategies based on the user's responses and progress over time. MedWhat: MedWhat is a chatbot designed to help users with medical questions and concerns. It can provide information about symptoms, treatments, and preventative care, as well as connect users with healthcare providers if needed. MedWhat uses natural language processing and machine learning to understand the user's questions and provide accurate and relevant responses. By using these chatbots, you can get quick answers to your questions, receive emotional support, and even manage your mental health, all from the comfort of your own home. And like recommendation systems, these chatbots get smarter over time as they learn more about you and your needs. Of course, with any new technology, there are always concerns about privacy and security. And when it comes to AI, these concerns can be especially pronounced. After all, AI systems rely on vast amounts of data to learn and make decisions, and this data can sometimes be sensi…

I am GPTed - what you need to know about Chat GPT, Bard, Llama, and Artificial Intelligence

Welcome loyal listeners to another exciting episode of "I am GPTed," the podcast where I, your host Sam, dive into the practical real-world applications of artificial intelligence and how it’s shaping our future. I’m thrilled to explore some incredibly promising new breakthroughs in using AI for social good. From accelerating new drug discoveries to shifting attitudes on urgent issues to predicting personal life events, this technology truly seems to be progressing humanity. Let’s start with an exciting medical advancement - an autonomous robot scientist that actually discovered a new antibiotic, all on its own using AI! Researchers at the University of Cambridge built an ingenious robotic system named Cosmo to automate science experiments. Cosmo contains advanced AI algorithms as well as robotic arms that can accurately pipette tiny volumes of liquids and conduct procedures like mass spectrometry analysis that are essential to chemical research. So Cosmo designed hypotheses, ran experiments including synthesizing molecules, analyzed the results, and even interpreted the findings - all without any human involvement! What’s remarkable is that this AI scientist discovered a completely new antibiotic compound that can kill drug-resistant strains of bacteria. We’re talking superbugs that pose huge threats to global health, causing diseases that were once easily treatable with antibiotics to become deadly again. This new molecule found by Cosmo has been proven in lab tests to neutralize certain types of resistant bacteria without toxic side effects on human cells. And what’s wild is the molecule has a completely unique chemical structure - meaning its mechanism for attacking bacteria is different from any existing antibiotic. This is huge news in the fight against antimicrobial resistance! Just think of the implications - AI drug discovery could massively accelerate developing new life-saving medications to get ahead of dangerous bacteria as they evolve resistance. This study is proof of concept that we can automate science to an incredible degree with the power of AI. Having robotic scientists like Cosmo continuously innovating around the clock by rapidly testing new molecule combinations unlocks so much potential. It can open up chemical spaces we didn't even know about! And by taking the brute force labor out of certain basic scientific functions, AI systems free up human researchers to focus their efforts more creatively. I’m feeling super hopeful that AI will unlock all kinds of medical wonders that once seemed far off or even impossible! With fabulous robot colleagues like Cosmo by our side helping push boundaries, the future of drug development could be incredibly bright. Just imagine the millions of lives we may save from illnesses thought to be incurable! Now let’s explore another encouraging application of AI I recently learned about - how AI-powered chatbots are actually shifting people's attitudes and beliefs on important social issues. I don’t know about you listeners, but I tend to be pretty skeptical that a computer program could influence something as innate to humans as our worldviews. But new research shows that thoughtful, theory-driven AI design can positively move the needle on perspectives regarding climate change, racial bias, immigration, and more. These digital experiences are truly opening minds! In one study done at Cornell University, participants interacted with an AI chatbot that had a casual written conversation with them about climate change. But here’s the fascinating part - the chatbot’s dialog was carefully crafted to model positive discussion. For example, expressing optimism and enthusiasm about our collective ability to build a sustainable future. Or giving encouragement when users brought up feelings of climate anxiety or hopelessness. Researchers found these uplifting, supportive exchanges with the AI led to noticeable increases in users’ climate empowerment, motivation to take eco-friendly actions, and overall belief that we can tackle this planetary crisis. Related studies showed similar attitude shifts across other charged social topics like racial justice, immigration reform, and LGBTQ+ rights after just brief text-based chats with AI agents programmed to provide perspective, hope, and strength around embracing diversity. These transformations reveal so much about the flexibility of human beliefs when positively influenced by social cues. Even if those cues come from an algorithm! It also shows how solution-focused dialogue seems to resonate deeper compared to just spouting facts. There’s huge implications for how we could use empathetic, wisdom-sharing AI to heal divides on issues that tend to inflame tensions. I love glimpsing this brighter future where AI plays a role in opening our hearts and minds to each other, dissipating radical viewpoints based in fear or anger. And helping infectious optimism spread by giving more and more people bold visions of how our society can progress. This technology done right could help pull off a peaceful revolution! I’m just blown away by its potential to be a transformative force for social good. Even a couple thoughtful lines of AI prose or poetry shared virally at scale could spark the next great wave of positive systemic change across cultures! Alright next up in our AI highlights reel of hope - researchers developing soft dexterous robots inspired by the movements of ancient sea creatures! This innovation has me so excited about exploration technology getting a huge upgrade thanks to artificial intelligence. Marine animals like starfish and jellyfish have unique methods of locomotion that are smartly adapted to aqueous environments. Researchers realized they could replicate these elegant, organic movements using soft robotics crafted from incredibly pliable, stretchy polymer materials that mimic muscular organic tissue. So they created robotic jellyfish with trailing tentacles that gently ripple through the water just like the real things! And starfish-like robots that can crawl across the sea floor using tons of intricate mini hydraulic pumps and valves. These soft bots maneuver with smooth, undulating waves and respond sensitively when they make contact with objects. It makes their movement supple and almost mesmerizing to watch! Beyond looking cool though, this lifelike maneuverability enables soft robots to access tight underwater spaces that more bulky metal submarines just can’t. Researchers think these supple droids will enable all kinds of exciting deep sea missions previously impossible with only remote submersibles or human divers. Like exploring the hidden ecosystems miles deep on the ocean floor. Or performing rapid ecological surveys across wide shallow reef areas. When equipped with things like cameras, sonars, collection nets and more, softbots can capture tons of marine data to better track climate shifts. And their flexibility makes them ideal for stealthy observations without disturbing delicate underwater life. There’s also hopes they could aid dangerous underwater search and rescue missions - slithering into tight underwater cave spaces or reinforced wreckage that humans just can’t risk. And I’m fascinated by possibilities like using them for super non-invasive surgeries inside the human body! Mimicking the smooth movements of organ tissues, we could have carebots that patch or repair damages deep inside patients. Saving them from traumatic open procedures. Researchers think medical soft bots inspired by nature could be common within our lifetimes - another weird AI prophecy that actually seems plausible! Alright, next I want to discuss a cool innovation in education - using AI for ultra personalized learning to revolutionize how we train students’ skills and knowledge. As I’m sure we’ve all experienced firsthand from school days good and bad, the traditional learning mold of a one-size-fits-all curriculum just does not vibe with how different all our young minds work. Students have unique strengths, challenges, interests, pacing needs - all the things that make us wonderfully human. But the factory line approach to lectures, assignments, testing has never been able account for this diversity. Until AI entered the chat! Now, adaptive learning platforms can incorporate AI algorithms to completely tailor lessons, practice, pacing and assessments to align with individual students’ needs and learning patterns in a way human teachers would struggle with for more than a couple pupils at a time. For example, say you’re learning algebra concepts. The AI tutor starts by evaluating your baseline skills to determine where you stand on core competencies and how you best…
