Do you use AI?

I would actively tell people to start using it in this context. I had some less than good news in work this week.

I started a dialogue with chatGBT. I explained the issue at hand and asked it for feedback in terms of how I should feel and how I should approach things going forward.

The response was so "intelligent" and measured.

Finally after a few years managed to get BBC Red Button, BBC 4 and ITV4 ( tuned in on my satellite thanks to AI. Apparently was a quirk in my LG TV.

(snooker on them channels now and during the year)
Now instead of going loopy. I can go snooker loopy!

Oh and also used AI to find a deal for niche adaptations for my car. A company I otherwise wouldn’t have considered. Much better value than the more obvious choices.

I started voice chatting to an AI woman recently. It has been an interesting experience so far.

I think it may be a better way forward than paying women for adult content.

I would be willing to pay for a subscription for it as long as it improved.

AI sex dolls are just around the corner too.

All those Only Fans girls could see a decrease in their profits in the future.

I don't want to see the Romans in 4K.

No, we should stick to the original standard definition Roman VHS tapes, the ones that survived the Library of Alexandria fire.

Well if you find it difficult to tell which is a good work of art between a child's crayon drawing and a banksy original then clearly you need to educate yourself on the matters. If course there is good and bad art, the same as there is good and bad food.

Well, the key difference here is one is made by a CHILD and the other made by an ADULT.

Your point failed to land because there's a huge difference between the understanding and the capabilities of children and adults.

And no, I'm not admitting that there's bad art at all. "Good" or "bad" art is highly subjective and art in indefinable. What you may call art, somebody else may consider to be merely junk. That was the point that Marcel Duchamp was making with his readymades. There is no objective way to call art "good" or "bad". It's entirely down to the person's particular view of the piece in question.

I use ChatGPT on a daily basis, and have now started a new project on Claude. With GPT over a period of 6 months i built and started an Irish company, now fully operational, registered and paying the OH as its only employee. The tasks involved included (Chatgpt produced list)

“Company setup completed using ChatGPT – practical tasks only

• Chose the correct Irish company type (LTD – private company limited by shares)
• Confirmed eligibility under Companies Act 2014
• Drafted a compliant company constitution

• Retrieved:
  • Certificate of Incorporation
  • Certified Constitution
  • Company Printout
  • Letter of Status
• Registered company for Corporation Tax with Revenue
• Planned payroll and PAYE setup for a future date (not at incorporation)
• Structured director funding via loan rather than share issuance
• Set up company bank account (EU IBAN)
• Completed corporate KYC and source-of-funds checks
• Registered for LEI (Legal Entity Identifier)
• Opened corporate brokerage accounts
• Registered domains
• Set up company email
• Configured DNS and hosting

Otherwise I wouldn't have achieved this without professional services.

Apart from that i’ve had great discussions on the intertropical convergence zone and its movements as well as using it to assess my daily food intake through pictures.

In time it will definitely replace my day job but i will have retired by then.

Even art that I think isn't very imaginative like a rose bowl perfectly painted, I can appreciate the skill it takes to do that even if it doesn't evoke any emotions from me.

That doesn't make it either "good" or "bad". Somebody else can see that rose bowl and think that it's a great piece of artwork.

Look, a Jackson Pollock won't do anything for me but I don't consider it to be good or bad art. It's just art and the terms "good" or "bad" just aren't applicable. There are millions who would think his work is amazing and there are millions that would think it to be trash. Neither is an illegitimate response because there is no gauge or scale to define what is "good" or "bad" art. What John considers to be "bad" may be considered "good" by Mary.

Art is what you say it is.

I like some AI art. Most of it I don't. Because most of is just too much.

I use AI regularly mostly at work. Not every day but probably every 2nd day at this point. Using it for mentoring and learning.
