Ok so I don't think we're quite to this point yet, although the concerns with the rise of AI are certainly out there. I wonder how much of it is simply clickbait though, as I would imagine that we are generations off AI being in a position to be self-determinate, much less take control of our defence systems and the like. Plus, we'd have to be complete knuckleheads to ever design a system that could allow that to happen. Hmm, maybe I should be worried?
Haha, on a more serious note, what about the use of AI in work? We have recently hired a guy to look into this at my work, more so on the side of analysing and summarising the myriad, complex tender documents that our small S&M team spends a lot of time managing these days. I like the idea of AI doing the leg work. The thing is, how do you determine if it's doing a good job? One of my team recently started getting AI to write his emails. The problem is, his style went from being a to-the-point, brief and not grammatically pleasing email type, to a very flowery and sophisticated type, that sounded absolutely nothing like him. There was nothing wrong with the emails, it was just so painfully obvious that he didn't write them. So there's the trick in my opinion, if you can get AI to work for you, and make it look like your work, then that, my dear, is a big fucking win!
So what I need to do, is try this out. I might try a couple of things. I have a few voice files that I recorded some time ago. I did get someone on Upwork to transcribe them for me, and I guess they did an ok job. But I have never posted them. I might see if I can get AI to transcribe one, and see what it's like. I wonder if I can input this whole blog as reference, so that the AI will use my style of writing as its template? If it can, that might just work. Watch this space...
