It's time to accept AI as it is.
Take a deep breath, and start to accept that AI is here for the long run.
TLDR;
🚀 AI is just too fast to follow up on.
⏰ It’s not really new; It’s been existent for a very long time.
🔀 Some are scared; some are excited, which is normal.
🤝 It’s time to accept, but always be careful.

🚀 AI is going berserk.
That’s not new, and you know it.
Everywhere you look.
Every tool you use.
Every person you talk to.
They’re all associated in one way or another with artificial intelligence. It’s not a conspiracy of some sort. It’s how it is.
How many people are “associated” with the internet? Think about it.
That’s actually a wrong question. The right one is, “How many people are not associated with the Internet and why?”
It sounds natural for people to be accessing the internet and using it for everything. Give it some time, and AI will be exactly the same. But here’s an interesting question: how old do you think AI is? Generative AI?
🚀 It’s as old as Grandpa.
Alan Turing published “Computer Machinery and Intelligence” in 1950, which proposed a test of machine intelligence called The Imitation Game. That was the start of it.
Don’t confuse Alan Turing with Benedict Cumberbatch. But he did act in an amazing movie about this that you have to watch in case you didn’t.
You’re probably thinking, “Oh, sure. But generative AI bots like ChatGPT are very new.”
The truth is generative AI was introduced in the 60s in chatbots. But only got interesting when they added images and videos in the years ahead.
So why did you not hear much about artificial intelligence before ChatGPT? ChatGPT made an accurate and freely available bot that is trained on many data sets.
OpenAI was founded in 2015, that is almost ten years ago. So yes, they’ve been training their bots quite well.
🔀 Scared? Excited? That’s alright. But it’s time to accept.
Some of your friends are freaked out. Others are very excited about it. That’s normal. We tend to be scared or excited about things we don’t know. The potential of this technology is by no means known.
Yes, it could threaten us.
Yes, it could evolve us.
But what’s for sure is that there’s only one way to find out. It’s happening, and the only course of action is to learn from it.
Yet, take it a step further by being wise. Always be careful when dealing with this particular technology.
Don’t rely on full self-driving unless it’s tested out a zillion times.
Don’t let your AI humanoid take care of your grandmother yet.
Don’t let them give you a haircut. A single bug could… well, you know.
📖 (For Paid Subscribers) My recommended AI must-read book(s) to guide you through the AI world.
I started reading about AI more than five years ago. I’ve always been interested in the topic. I studied it briefly when I was getting my engineering degree. But even then, the world knew nothing compared to what they know now.
I’ve read a book that had quite a positive effect on me.
