Over the last few months I have had many interesting conversations around AI with people from completely different industries. Some of them are totally into it, others are understandably worried, while a few are against the use of AI in any context.

Let me clarify that I am mostly in favor of AI, in case you were wondering. The current climate around AI is far from perfect but also far from done. It has changed a lot in the past months and if we can expect one thing is that more changes are coming.

To be fair, I think all positions are understandable and have great points behind them. If I can talk to those that are against it, what I would say is "

AI is here and it is not going away anytime soon

". Whether we like it or not, there is no way to stop it. We cannot stop the internet and AI follows the same principle. 

People are going to use it no matter what and we have seen that already. Countries cannot block it. Services cannot ban it. Schools cannot forbid students from using it. However, attempts to restrict AI usage have often proven ineffective. I can only think of the famous quote from Jurassic Park "Life finds a way", us humans will find a way around all restrictions to use AI.

So it is doom and gloom then, right? Not necessarily, we can use logic, apply morals, and just be a reasonable human being and, for the most part, things will be okay. To use another famous quote "With great power comes great responsibility" and that is what we need to teach and spread.

We can only trust each other to use this new tool in the best way possible. There will always be bad actors but that is true with all and any tools we can get our hands on. 

Here is a simple example on what I believe AI interaction should be like:
When generating an email response with AI we should give it enough context, review the results, and update them as needed to make sure the response sounds like us before sending it to the customer.

Spending that extra time is a small thing but it makes a big difference. We still save a ton of time but we also ensure it sound like a human wrote. By doing that we are telling the customer that we respect their time.

We cannot (and should not) stop AI but we can (and should) respect each other. All the content we generate with AI is for another person to consume, so long as we are mindful of that, we will be fine.

Also, we have not addressed the perspectives of artists, programmers, and other professions in a similar position. It might be best to dedicate it a full article to that topic.

Thanks for reading, and see you in the next one! 🚀

A 2024 Perspective on AI

Thanks for asking! I mostly didn't, this is a fork of 

. It had all I needed to get started: Next.js, Sanity (ofc), and TailwindCSS.

This is something I've always wanted to do but never allocated enough time to complete the project. Plus. my memory is rubbish so this will be a fun off-site backup.

Oh, I'm just a random nerd that currently does some programming and project management for a living. I play D&D with a group of friends, tinker with mechanical keyboards here and there, and lurk around Reddit, HackerNews, and GitHub. The usual.

What kind of content can I expect to see here?

Well, pretty much anything I mentioned above plus video games, maybe some music from time to time, and other geeky stuff. I watched the movie 

 recently and I might touch on that in an entry so let's say movies and TV are fair game too.

There's no schedule at the moment other than a handful of posts I have in mind. As soon as I find something interesting to write about and some time to do it! 

Thanks for making it so far, see you soon adventurer! ⚔️
