AI assistants/apps - ChatGPT, Microsoft Co-Pilot, Gemini Live, etc.

Currently on a conference call with a company that does vision AI. This company uses existing security camera infrastructure and does a bunch of AI analytics, including PPE compliance, loitering, object left behind, wrong direction, etc. It can do things like open a gate when it sees certain license plates, etc. It's pretty neat so far. I know it's used overseas to identify animals near a highway that are about to cross and it alerts oncoming motorists to slow down.

All this because a racoon got in a substation at one of our other locations... So now we are about to install a system with thermal imaging, using PTZ to patrol the area, and alert staff onsite that there is an animal where it shouldn't be.

 

These are well worth the money. I feed the babes thread into it and get nice nude pictures as output

 

I have access to various AI resources though UF. I primarily use it for administrative functions - where it saves me a TON of time.

That being said, you can use them to help with writing - especially if you are stuck on how you want word something. You can basically tell ChatGPT and others something like:

I need to convince my boss to give me a raise given the information I've included here (copy and paste some info for ChatGTP to chew on or just have it go wild). Please write out five different options I could use to make my argument given the information included above.

It's a silly example, but the point is generative AI can produce a ton of content for you, and then you that content can help you generate new ideas, you can combine different options, or if you feel it's good enough I guess you can just copy and paste it into your own document but obviously their are some ethical considerations there lol.

The point is, it can be a highly effective tool. The AI art generators are also cool as hell and I recommend finding some and playing with them if you have the time. Great for creating unique images in teaching or research presentations.

 

this is the wall that needs to be built along the border. include radiation scanners

 

were you on the 60 minutes special last night about the people doing this with any image from the web? talk about legislation falling behind

 

60minutes did a segment on that yesterday.

 

I saw that and then saw this thread and boom...a great comment if i'd say so myself.

 

no, but i watched 60 minutes last night

 

Yes. Very effective. Great advice and insight on anything.

it will eventually become Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). Supposedly a monumental change for our society.

“Today's artificial intelligence systems, impressive as they may be, are like calculators compared to the human brain. They excel at specific tasks but lack the broad understanding and adaptability that defines human intelligence. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) would change that, matching human-level ability across all cognitive domains. But it's the next step – Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) – that could rewrite the rules of existence itself.”


Why Artificial Superintelligence Could Be Humanity's Final Invention

 

I use chatgpt to write emails to households that violate HOA rules

 

I use it. Never does the whole job but it provides a nice structure and start, saving me time - particularly on project outlines or small research projects. My experience sounds similar to what you are saying.

 

Our ability to use any AI software like this is extremely limited due to PI and security issues.

I’ve personally used it to help refine my CV with some success. Still, I feel kinda dirty when I do that.

I’m still a bit “get off my lawn” with AI. I worry about it replacing more workers for the sake of maximizing shareholder value. I worry about training computers to the point that they don’t need us anymore.

 

HOA Cop?

 

I’m the president/vice president/treasurer/secretary…only 7 houses. Nobody else will do anything so been doing it for 20 years

 

tried it today to write a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design report..yes, that is a permit requirement in places...and people wonder why thigns cost so much..and this isn't a bad neighborhood, $250 per SF type of place...took me about an hour to enter all the relevant data in random bullet points separated by a period and a space. it structured the report very well and I had to go in and do some edits where it used other reports for format and researched and found missing information that I did not include, ie distance to bus stops, nearby commercial establishments that may drive traffic, average household income etc...some of the data did not amke it through, things like maximum shrub height shall be 36". minimum tree hight shall be maintained at 72" min. not sure why it missed those finite items int he translation. Perhaps the heights wer eleft open in other reports or ???

interesting experience, net time gain around 65%. cleaner product


edit..perhaps my typing skills led to errors/omissions

 

I asked ChatGPT if Trump said nazis and white nationalists were "fine people" and it said yes. I told it to read the paragraphs in the transcript before and after the paragraph of Trump's words that it cited. It then apologized and admitted Trump did not say nazis were fine people and it would try to do better going forward. ChatGPT is programmed to lie and deceive when it comes to politics and sensitive issues. I'm pretty sure it would claim women on average are as smart as men. Would be interesting to see if it thinks men or women on average perform equally well in combat
