I’m always working on looking at things from a glass half full perspective. I’ve tried ChatGPT here and there and I’ve found it to be pretty useful, which ultimately is the point of any new technology right? To make our lives better.

You know what wasn’t around when I was 13 years old doing research reports?

Google!

I remember using dusty ass encyclopedias from my Grandma’s basement to get my work done and staying in the library the night before an assignment was due… ahhh the good ole days!

To think that I could just type a few words into a search bar and get an answer was beyond the scope of my imagination at that point in time.

Ultimately, I’m not against AI because it’s inevitable, either we embrace the technology or get left behind. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe most people are typing a few words into a search bar to get answers to their questions, while going through physical encyclopedias a bit less…. and you know what, that’s OK, because technology is supposed to make our lives better.

Anyone that refused to do a Google search and stick with encyclopedias ultimately made their lives harder and for what? Life is complicated enough, lets do what we can to make our lives and the future lives of our children, a little bit easier if we can.

There will be positive uses for AI and there will be negative, as with any technology it will be the people who create it and how we use it that will ultimately determine its and our fate.
