It's so mesmerizing and satisfying to come across 'people' that are incredibly talented. It doesn't matter if the person is a bricklayer or a chef. As far as he's good at what he does, there is always something satisfying about watching that person do that stuff.
So, what's the place of AI when people are doing a good job?
An opportunity or a threat?
At this very moment, we can no longer deny that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come and it has come to stay. There is a massive adoption of AI tech on several fronts and people are open to play with this newfound fancy toy. From all indications, if a tool as powerful as AI gets into the hands of responsible people, it can be used to make life easier in many jobs.
However, a lot of people have that tendency of being irresponsible. This is why some people that call themselves writers can easily quit the whole creative process involved with coming up with quality and genuine content just because there is an AI like ChatGPT. This is why I won't be surprised if we ever wake up to a day when AI techs get to take over the labour market.
Big Question!
This is worth thinking about because the developers of several AI techs are proving to have no limitations in their attempt to plant their techs in several professions out there.
Before I got into the things I'm doing now to make ends meet, I worked in the Banking sector and it was a fancy career to have to your name. That name 'Banker' wasn't a joke, but anyone that understands what's happening in the labour market can easily notice that AI has crept into the banking sector.
It almost seems like Bankers were the first to get hit by this wave of AI. They are becoming irrelevant in the same place where they used to be very useful. Ever since I left the Banking sector, I've been able to gain practical training in this area;
Counseling
Teaching
Podcasting
Writing
Cryptocurrency
Communication
Video editing and
Humanities.
From a first look, none of these looks like the most sophisticated of skills to have. So, people usually think there is no way to monetize any of those skills. Do you also think the same?
Hah! Haha!
Think Again!
One of the people I met and discussed with this Tuesday had a lot of doubts about the chances of monetizing her creativity. She's a deep thinker, an unconventional lady and someone that have been writing things for writing's sake and for the fun of the art.
While discussing with her, I discovered that she recently lost her clerical role in an organization and currently struggling with thoughts of what to do with the writing skill which she has been nurturing for a while. She was planning to apply for more clerical roles whenever she come across such job advert placement.
Information though. That proves that information is power. If only she knew about the existence of Hive, right?
Fret not! I gave her snippets and gave her homework. She did her research, jump around the website and was intrigued by what she saw. She signed up yesterday and her introductory post will be dropping any moment from now.
Whatever the case may be, I know that when allowed to read what's written by an AI or something written by a human, I will wholeheartedly opt for the one written by a human. So, whatever we do here can stand the test of AI and we can still thrive in a world under the reign of AI.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.
