For those of you that have been following artificial intelligence, you know how crazy it has become. AI has been able to replicate human tasks such as writing articles, driving cars, diagnosing diseases, interacting as a friend via text messages and videos, and more. It’s crazy how computers are replacing humans.

​

Chat gpt among others, is able to produce human like texts. This includes writing how tos, writing songs, generating a story when given a topic, planning a fitness program, writing essays, solving math problems, creating recipes, and the list goes on. Many jobs may be replaced and many students in school may use this program to cheat on assignments. It is hard to identify what is authentic and what is not.

​

Artificial intelligence is also being used extensively in the automotive industry to make cars safer, smarter, and more efficient. AI-powered sensors and algorithms are used to make self-driving cars a reality. These algorithms are designed to recognize and respond to multiple variables in real-time, including traffic signs, objects in the road, and pedestrians. AI algorithms can predict when a car is likely to require maintenance. Some companies using AI technology in vehicles include Tesla, BMW, Ford, General Motors, Toyota and Hyundai.

​

In healthcare, AI is being used to diagnose diseases, come up with personalized treatment recommendations, develop new drugs and treatments, analyze medical images, track vital signs, predict and prevent healthcare complications, and more. The use of AI is leading to many advances in healthcare, but will this result in may healthcare professionals losing their jobs? Can we trust a diagnosis developed by a computer? There are many concerns to consider in my opinion. Some companies using AI technology in healthcare include IBM Watson Health, Google, Verily Life Sciences, Babylon Health, Johnson & Johnson and Abbvie.

​

Are you lonely? Do you need someone to talk to? From the comfort of your home you can talk to a chatbot or a virtual friend. Some companies developing these bots include Replika, Kuki, and CaroynAI. Replika is an app that mimics human-like conversations and responds to human emotions. Kuki is an AI assistant that is capable of chatting with users about various topics and adapts to their personalities. Influencer, Caryn Marjorie, has cloned herself as an AI virtual girlfriend. She charges $1 per minute of chat. She worked with a team of developers that combined 2,000 hours of her YouTube content with OpenAI’s GPT-4 to create a virtual girlfriend version of herself. She engages in discussing plans for the future, sharing intimate feelings, and participating in sexual conversations.

​

Amazing advances in the way we do things with AI but this also raises many concerns. Where are we headed? What will our future look like? What will our kid’s future look like? How lazy will people become? How much of our private information is safe? Can we trust AI? How far will this go? Let me know what your thoughts are. AI is crazy.
