Understanding the Basics of AI Usage

basics of what ai is

With all the buzz of AI in businesses, social media, and even your phones it is good to know the basics of what AI is.

Essentially it is building a computer system to think link a human and be able to answer questions, perform tasks, generate images and video, and essentially think like a human. Whether it’s decision making, problem solving, or pattern recognition there are many uses found for how AI has been built.

Text based responses like ChatGPT have been taught on large amounts of data to sort through all it can find and provide a valid response to questions asked. It can also read over articles and surmise the data given.

Image generation via MidJourney or Dall-E is a rather capable tool to help artists and designers generate content they might not be able to otherwise make.

AI can also create video and music based off uploaded content or content the system has been trained on. AI has also been used in the medical industry for cancer detection and AI is in basic software use for simplifying various tasks and scheduling on calendars.

It should be noted that for every benefit there can be issues with every aspect of AI. The software can search the web and not differentiate between facts, incorrect information, and satire. Examples of bad results are using glue in recipes, eating rocks being healthy, and leaving a dog in a hot car being safe. Fake videos and images can also be used or nefarious purposes and is getting to a point where it’s difficult to differentiate between real voices and images and fakes.
