I enjoy your perspective and how you work with clients. Recognizing the pros and cons. Making sure the limitations are known.

Thank you! That was unexpected.

I think that my approach is different because I'm not trying to convince or make a sale. I really want to tell them what I know... or what I would do for myself

Exactly why I was drawn to it. Enjoy your day.

Agree with your thoughts fully. I love the pixelart analogy - not sure if you intended it like that but the 80s graphics represents very well the current level of human-AI co-existence and co-operation - crude, granulated but inspiring...

In my lectures on AI I always emphasize that we as social animals are almost too prone to project sentience into everything (from a child playing with an inanimate toy and up to having a robot AI girlfriend, which seems to be just around the corner) and we really need to be careful. The second part is that AI in its current form and deployment (ie not through predominantly scientific institutions but profit-oriented companies) is - like it or not - designed to upgrade from capturing our attention to capturing our inner emotional world. So ALWAYS remembering to use it as a tool only, is not only practical, it also keeps us safe. This is the one form of fear, which is there for a very good reason.

Love the fact you emphasized testing for errors - this is a must in any kind of software development, doubly so when AI and it's hallucinating is involved. I need to look into Zapier a lot more. Found it daunting and huge, so I kept putting it off.

All the best, Janez

Thank you, Janez!

The pixel art was indeed deliberate. I think the analogy is very similar, a time when we imagine what the Internet could become, and all that happened when it became a reality.

Let’s not forget that the Internet was intended to democratize communications and information. It did, in some way, but now we have just a few companies controlling most of it to our disadvantage.
