Don't worry, AI won't overtake the world... but it's worth watching🧠

I will allow myself to say that the skill I am constantly training every day is my ability to make decisions, it'd really just called critical thinking.

I like informing myself about what is going on in the field of AI, even if I have to watch something that I consider 'easy' or for 'beginners', as I feel that this allows me to have a broad idea of what is actually going on and I could make better decisions in the future based on that extra information I acquired.

I was watching the latest course by Andrew Ng in Coursera: AI for Everyone and I just started feeling extremely identified with the fact that people have a wrong idea of what AI is actually capable of doing nowadays. Basically, he divides AI into two subfields:

  1. ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence)
  2. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)

ANI is the ability of a computer to perform a specific task extremely well while AGI refers to the ability of a machine to learn a task that a human being can. While nowadays we are capable of making machines perform a single task (ANI) we are quite far from human level AI (AGI). I see quite a lot of people trying to sell 'AI systems' that in reality are not valid and whose target are, obviously, people outside the field who trust this because of a poor critical thinking skill.

Be smart, be careful, and never stop questioning until you actually prove that something is valid.

The challenge people face is that AI is better at watching people than people are at watching AI.

I will finish my smug comment with a wine which should be followed by actions from an inebriated bot.

I want to share some interesting information about how artificial intelligence can influence the development of various industries. For example, the Generative AI platform offers innovative solutions for improving data processing, predicting trends, and automating processes, which helps companies stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.

I completely get what you’re saying. Critical thinking is so important when it comes to AI, especially with all the hype around tools that claim to be more capable than they actually are. I’ve been following courses and tutorials too, and it really helps to step back, verify claims, and focus on understanding what AI can truly do rather than trusting marketing buzz.

Hey, I totally relate to what you’re saying about critical thinking and AI. I’ve noticed so many tools get hyped as “more capable than they really are,” and it’s easy to overestimate their abilities if you don’t step back and verify. I used to spend hours fixing AI-generated text that sounded stiff or unnatural, until a friend suggested to try it. Running my drafts through it made the content read naturally, keeping all the original meaning while saving a ton of time. Now I use it for nearly every AI draft before sharing anything publicly, and it’s made my workflow much smoother and more professional.
