My Personal AI manifesto

I support / not support AI machine learning models for:

1. As a tool that reinforce originality, doubles-down and enhances my uniqueness - RAG Model applications that the AI can learn from your unique business / work context and add value in making you better at your craft.
2. AI as a learning assistant - using prompts to ask questions about topics I find it very helpful, image and screen recognition capabilities to interact with chatGPT is really useful and great way to learn & observe things.
3. Authenticity in Content Creation - While I use AI for spellchecking or grammar corrections, I avoid relying on it to generate sentences or full content for personal blogs or videos. Authenticity is crucial, especially when sharing personal experiences. However, for product tutorials or training guides, using AI for content generation no-brainer.
4. The line is blurring between the human and AI generated - so use it as a force for good Our world is witnessing the artificiality infiltration at all levels with the growth of Gen AI - no one can distinguish original stuff vs ai generated stuff - so opportunity there in the field make solutions to filter out gen ai stuff vs human regenerated stuff. While AI holds promise, it also has risks—plagiarism, ethical concerns, and potential bad-actors using it for hacking and ransomwares. I advocate for using AI to enhance authenticity and knowledge without compromising personal values or originality
5. Don’t depend on AI to make you dummer - Pickup the old guitar, mend the strings and play the instrument with your hands and minds.
6. AI's breakout potential is evident - AI has been creating waves - daily a dozen startups are launching AI agents for specific use-cases for all sorts of industries and enterprise applications - which has meaningful impact and solving problems at scale. My take is that this would see a big shift in many workforce displacement not necessarily replacement. Potential for a lot of roles to become redundant and new ones will get created - in the end your breadth of experience, discernment and judgement is what matters to thrive in the new AI driven workforce.
7. Potential to close the skill gap - The potential for AI to empower and close the skill gap rapidly is high - AI can transform an average joe to someone who can do really smart stuff.
8. Best Privacy Practice for not giving away your data as public model training I prefer to use generative AI tools like ChatGPT in strict privacy mode, ensuring my content is not used for training data. It’s important to adopt tools responsibly, limiting exposure to data privacy risks. Meta.ai - use it without logging into facebook.
9. Potential compunding ills AI is poised to cast on our humanity -There is potential for artificial technologies that is geared up as a viable alternative for the natural. We all know the ills of social media and the proliferation of mobile apps and our "everything connected world" on our society - soaring mental illnesses, lonelinesses, and sense of emptiness has increased drastically in all walks of life (among rich or poor, across the board). The ease and conveniences of modern day life has arguably taken our humanity to one of its worst versions (self-centered, sick, intolerant to name a few). It has shifted our physical and natural world - to more virtaul interactions and transactional way of life, than the good old days we all wish to go back to - tech like AI & AR will surely add more fuel to the fire. So get out and breath the fresh air, get some sun and get inter-personal, less "connected" after all our life is more than what we see and experience through the AI & digital lens.
10. Contentment Over Greed Lastly Stick with contentment - always apply my internal contentment vs greed compass to filter out usages and adoption of AI as with other tech and aspirations. Amen!
