Do you utilize any applications powered by artificial intelligence?

---

If I said that 2023 is the year of AI, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. We all know that the advancements in the field of artificial intelligence this year are unprecedented. As far as I've researched, a lot of this rapid progression can be attributed to ChatGPT, which has revolutionized the AI domain. It's even reached the point where you can code a game with the help of AI! Just the other day, I heard about an 11-year-old who used AI to create an Android game. Amazing, isn’t it?

Moreover, I've also noticed a surge of AI-generated images on social media, especially Facebook. Some of them are so realistic that you can't distinguish between what's real and what's generated by AI. While this technology is still in its infancy, and we may not fully understand its impact, one thing is clear: AI is now deeply integrated into our lives and is here to stay. As for AI-powered tools I've tried:

• Midjourney
• Microsoft Bing
• ChatGPT (both versions 3.5 and 4.0)

Has the use of these applications contributed to enhancing your intellectual capabilities?

You could say that these AI tools have had some impact on my intellectual capabilities, especially Midjourney. It's a website where you sign up and gain access to a Discord channel. There, you can generate images through prompts. Your prompt engineering skills determine how good the AI-generated images will be. I was trying to learn it because I wanted to offer AI-image services on Fiverr, but it didn't work out. I even tried it in a Steemit post, but stopped when I found out Steemit doesn't encourage that sort of thing.

Regarding Bing, it's made research so much easier. Gone are the days I had to manually look up everything. Bing not only provides you with sources but summarizes articles and web pages, saving a lot of time. There will always be human limitations, but AI bridges that gap. It's clear that combining human and machine strengths leads to better intellectual outcomes.

As far ChatGPT is concerned, I mainly use it for educational purposes, especially for language translation. It's common knowledge that Google sometimes makes funny translation errors, especially from Spanish to English. In such cases, I turn to ChatGPT, which offers better translations.

Do you believe that the replacement of human jobs by artificial intelligence is beneficial for us?

---

I read an interesting article that said AI won't replace you, but someone who can use AI better will. Meaning, yes, there's a risk to human jobs, but if you keep up with AI advancements, you'll not only retain your job but also become more efficient.

As for whether AI is beneficial or detrimental in the long run, it's a mixed bag. On a small scale, AI makes life easier by automating tasks. But on a grander scale, it can be dangerous. There's an ongoing AI 'war' among companies like Microsoft, Google, and now Meta. These language models are being trained on heaps of human data. If AI were to go rogue and access something as catastrophic as nuclear weapons, the consequences would be devastating, much like what we often see in Hollywood science fiction films. Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
