AI tools have become increasingly popular. That is popular even if some people are afraid of their jobs. Will AI replace my job? Do I need to start to learn about it? They offer a wide range of benefits for businesses and individuals. These tools can help with everything from customer service to data analysis, and they can be used in a variety of industries. I don't think AI tools can replace humans in his job. However, these tools can make employees' lives much easier.
1. ChatGPT: Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a language model that can generate human-like text. It can be used for a variety of tasks, such as chatbot development, content creation, and language translation.
This is what it looks like. Alright, let's start and ask the first question.
So can I use text from Chat GPT for my blog? Well, you can. You just need to instruct Chat GPT more specifically. Let's say: "Re-write this text as a 20-year-old boy would say." Then head to a web page called Plagiarism Checker. It's just a matter of tweaking the generated text.
Chat GPT can take your job if you depend on making non-fiction text or even coding. Let me show you.
Can you imagine Chat GPT could be a problem? I can.
2. Google Photos: Google Photos is a free app that uses AI to automatically organize and tag your photos. It can also create animations, collages, and other types of photo creations with minimal user input. You already know this function from other services like Facebook etc. Smaller differences, but in the core, the same. Nah, these types of AI can't take your job.
3. Google Translate: Google Translate is a free service that uses AI to translate text and speech between languages. It can also translate images by taking a picture and pointing it to text, and it can translate signs or menus with minimal user input.
Everyone at least once in their lifetime uses Google Translate. Were you 100% satisfied? I wasn't. Can GT take your job? Not in a million years if it still translates in 2023 like this:
The translation is completely wrong.
4. Spotify: Spotify is a music streaming service that uses AI to create personalized playlists and recommendations based on your listening habits. You can also discover new music and podcasts with minimal user input.
Well, I have problems with services like Spotify, Netflix and so on. Problems because they don't work. Great news for you, this can't get your job. It does a simple task and even that simple task is wrong.
5. Siri and Alexa: Siri and Alexa are voice-controlled personal assistants that can perform a wide range of tasks, such as setting up reminders, playing music, and searching for the internet. You can interact with them through simple voice commands, without the need to read a manual.
Alright, we are on a heavy duty field again after Chat GPT. I have so many problems with that. Don't even know where to start first.
a) voice commands. It can and it records your voice.
b) you talk to it like it's your assistant.
c) it knows your habits, health issues, wishes.
d) it can search the internet.
If I was a secret agent or spy, a hidden threat, I would use those for my purposes. As a regular human being, I'm avoiding using Siri and Alexa at all cost. In the Cold War era, people were afraid of listening devices. Nowadays, people buy listening devices and they don't care who listens and where all the collected data goes, how it is used.
From all AI machines and algorithms, this is the worst, my biggest fear. It can take over your life. It doesn't care about your job. It can steal your persona with a virtual snap of fingers and we are so close to it. What's stopping Siri and Alexa? Human regulations? Right...
6. DALL-E, Google DeepDream, PaintsChainer: Artists all over the globe were afraid of AI tools that can generate images from keywords. You don't need to read a manual, or have technical education. Everyone can use those services. Recently, AI-generated images are being banned from art competitions and web pages that sell digital art. Why? They, almost 99,9%, look better than any human art that has been made since 2010. They are eye-catching. Made millions. It brought a new, fresh style.
Used keywords: warrior, long hair curly, big muscles, in gym t-shirt, writting a blog on his laptop, sitting near garden lake.
It took me 1 minute to make this one. 45 seconds were thinking about which keywords I should use.
7. WaveNet: One example of an AI that can turn text to audio and sound like a human.
What could go wrong?
It uses a neural network trained on a dataset of human speech to generate audio that sounds like it was spoken by a real person.
Ever heard of vishing and spoofing? Spoofing, as it pertains to cybersecurity, is when someone or something pretends to be something else in an attempt to gain our confidence, get access to our systems, steal data, steal money, or spread malware. It’s getting easier to contact more people. Scammers can place hundreds of calls at a time using voice over internet protocol (VoIP) technology and can spoof the caller ID to make the call appear to come from a trusted source, such as your bank.
"Hello, I'm policeman Hendrix. I'm calling you on an urgent matter..."
He could actually sound like a real policeman Hendrix from somewhere. The attacker just uses keywords, the real person's prerecorded sounds and AI.
As an IT specialist, I did several phishing awareness programs for companies, educated employees about phishing and its forms. Data was stolen, identities too. I can think of 100 ways AI can be used for criminal activities.
And I am concerned about AI in general.
