Artificial Intelligence - Blog Posts
I’m reading a fanfic and it’s giving AI. It keeps repeating the same thing over and over and undoing all the plot points and isn’t very cohesive like you can follow the plot but it’s confusing to read?? I’m not gonna drop it cause if it’s not AI then I’d just be being a but hole but like… another reason is all the. Halters are written differently. Like one chapter will be very creative and have a cool idea though the spacing will be weird and typos bad and hard to follow. But then the next chapter will be super easy to read but the plot will be weird and it will repeat itself
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has swiftly transitioned from being a futuristic concept to an integral part of our daily lives. From helping us navigate our day more efficiently to revolutionizing industries, AI’s impact is profound and far-reaching. This blog explores how AI has embedded itself into our routines, its advantages, and the ethical concerns surrounding its widespread adoption.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
At its core, Artificial Intelligence refers to the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence. This encompasses learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding language, and even recognizing emotions. The technology powers numerous applications designed to make life easier, smarter, and more efficient.
How AI Shapes Our Daily Lives
Smart AssistantsAI powers virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, which help manage schedules, provide weather updates, and control smart home devices. These assistants leverage natural language processing (NLP) to understand and respond to human speech effectively.
Personalized RecommendationsWhether you’re scrolling through Netflix or shopping on Amazon, AI algorithms analyze your preferences and behaviors to suggest content or products tailored to your taste. This personalization enhances user experience and fosters engagement.
Navigation and Traffic ManagementApps like Google Maps and Waze use AI to provide real-time traffic updates, suggest optimal routes, and even predict future traffic patterns based on historical data.
Healthcare and FitnessWearables like Fitbit and Apple Watch monitor vital health metrics, providing insights powered by AI. Moreover, AI-driven applications help doctors analyze medical data, aiding in faster and more accurate diagnoses.
Social Media AlgorithmsPlatforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok use AI to curate feeds, highlight trending topics, and even moderate content. The algorithms ensure users engage with content relevant to their interests.
The Advantages of AI Integration
Efficiency and Convenience: AI eliminates repetitive tasks, automating processes like email sorting, bill payments, and more.
Enhanced Decision-Making: AI analyzes massive amounts of data quickly, providing actionable insights for better decision-making.
Cost Savings: In industries like manufacturing, AI-powered robots increase efficiency, reduce errors, and cut costs.
Ethical Considerations and Challenges
Despite its advantages, AI’s integration into daily life isn’t without challenges:
Data PrivacyMany AI applications rely on user data to function effectively. Concerns about how this data is collected, stored, and used remain a significant issue.
Bias in AlgorithmsAI systems can inadvertently reflect biases present in their training data, leading to unfair outcomes in applications like hiring or lending.
Job DisplacementAutomation powered by AI threatens jobs in certain sectors, raising concerns about unemployment and the need for reskilling workers.
Autonomy and ControlAs AI systems become more sophisticated, questions arise about their autonomy and the extent to which humans can control them.
The Future of AI in Everyday Life
AI is poised to play an even bigger role in the future. Advances in areas like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and healthcare promise significant benefits. However, these developments must be balanced with robust policies to address ethical concerns.
Artificial Intelligence has undeniably become a cornerstone of modern life, enhancing convenience, productivity, and innovation. However, as we embrace AI’s potential, it’s crucial to remain vigilant about its implications, ensuring its development aligns with societal values and ethics. With the right approach, AI can continue to improve our lives in ways we once only imagined.
Naruto 2
Ok.... Anyway, I hope this does not crash at least in 3 paragraphs....
Gaara is character we all know for the fact he was lonely and hurt, so he wanted to repay back and saw the world as black and white where one lives for themselves. This is so relatable, because the world be like that. Naruto made connection with him, since they can relate. Naruto's way of life rubbed on Gaara. In ultimate ego centric way of existence, there is nothing but constant destruction. Gaara understands it deeply, so he abandons it for hope, for ability to enjoy something longlasting
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK UFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Second paragraph. The idea of dreams and the world of virtual reality, the project tsukoyi no me can become like that, in the real world we have AI and nuclear synthesis. So that means, humans are capable of having ego centric fantasy in virtual reality with contemporary driven energy consumptions using nuclear energy. i ask you IF THIS IS EVIL if it benefits you or if its evil from authenticity? SIGH
it crasehs every fucking time. FUCK THIS PLACE
Third paragraph. Just think of these two examples and think of what I said in previous lines. Ignore the video of me sleepin'.
Okay, I need to talk about this.
I am currently a history student studying British politics in the last half of the 20th century, and, in this course, you learn how to analyse a source. A source. This means a photograph, newspaper, extract of a speech, etc. From that time period.
I’m British myself, so this is an A-Level course (a specialisation where you choose 3/4 subjects to study over 2 years), so you’d think they’d be fairly serious about this kind of stuff.
Except, after learning about a reaction to problems in Ireland, we were given a source, and the preface from our professor was that this source, was AI generated.
As in they AI generated something for us to learn and extrapolate information from.
They passed off an AI source as a genuine thing in order to manipulate the information we would learn from it.
React to this how you will, but, personally, I think that is fucking dangerous.
Did I have to rush my essay? Yes. Did I turn it in 10 minutes before midnight when it was due? Yes. Did I proofread it? No. Did I probably fuck it up at least a bit? Yeah. Did I get a good grade? We'll see.
But at least I didn't use AI. I wrote a good, genuine, shitty essay, instead of getting a program to write a shitty essay for me that would probably be easily flagged as AI.
WRITE SHITTY ESSAYS!!! A BAD GRADE FROM TRYING IS BETTER THAN A ZERO FROM GETTING CAUGHT USING AI!!!
My wish and dream is to have a loaf of bread and a drink of water for me and my family to live on.
What is your dream here on Tumblr? Donate here.
guys what if I wrote a fanfic crossover with some sentient cars. what if KITT met Bumblebee or Herbie met Christine. It would be an absolute disaster but I kind of want to do it
AI For Good, AI For Bad, AI for All
We talked about how to view AI as a writing tool, but I also want to acknowledge the worry about AI replacing creative jobs is completely valid, and we need to treat it with the caution it deserves. In an uncertain future, there are steps we can take to protect ourselves and our fellow creatives:
Support creative unions, back union strikes. The WGA strike is a critical example of how fair pay needs to be a factor, ever-changing technology is affecting creative jobs across the board, from novel editing to art direction. Support creative unions, back union strikes, and boosting efforts to form unions is one way to support the future of creative art remaining in the hands of those who make it. Support animation unions, support voice acting unions, support the formation of new unions to protect the future of workers.
Push for regulation. Even those working in AI are sounding the alarm that we need to have government regulations in place to ensure these systems are used in a way that benefits society, not tears it apart. Paying attention and participating by supporting candidates and policy will matter. Some promising motions have been made by the US Supreme Court rejecting copyright cases involving AI, but more needs to be done. We can get to a better future if we try.
Fight back against sketchy AI practices. Tor has once again been caught using an AI cover instead of paying an artist, something I promise you they absolutely can afford to do. Some companies are quietly switching out real narrators for AI. We do not need to accept a world where those critical to the writing process, be they editors, artists, or narrators, have their jobs stripped away by companies that make more than enough money to pay them. Call it out, don't buy content affected by it, and call it out on social media.
Be open and honest about how you use AI. As I've said before, I don't think AI is something you should boycott completely. What I do think is important, though, is to talk about how you use it. Trying to work out a plot snare, for example, or generating an AI image to help you figure out how to describe a room are decent examples of how it can be used as a tool, and it should be encouraged if it can genuinely helpful. Calling out AI-use passed off as original work is going to get harder, and one thing we can do is be honest with ourselves and others about how we use it.
Pay for your shit. Listen, I work in education. I'm double-dutying it when it comes to being a broke writer and a broke educator. But if you're an indie author and you need a decent cover and an editor that'll act more as a grammar-checker, you need to work with real people, which means you need to pay them what they're worth. As a creative you are part of a community of people who will need your support, as well as support you in turn. You'll only be doing yourself a disfavor by turning your back to it.
A better future is worth fighting for - and we can fight for it, no matter how bleak it looks.
For those of you who want to lock all of your works with all the silly AI scraping of AO3 (which AO3 is recommending you lock your works, as stated in this post)
Here is a quick and easy guide of how to edit ALL of your works at once.
From your Dashboard click on “edit works” on the far right. This will bring up all of your works that you can select.
Select all the works you want to edit, then hit “Edit” at the bottom right.
Scroll to nearly the bottom of the page where you find “Visibility” and select “only show to registered users” and then update at the bottom.
That’s it, all of your works have now been locked without having to go in and edit each fic individually.
I hope this helps!
Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.
LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.
Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.
