2-3 min read  •  AI has undoubtedly changed the landscape of our work and jobs with tools such as ChatGPT and Bard being able to generate text for any purpose; Dall-E, Midjourney and the like being able to generate images that graphic designers would charge a fortune for; and many others integrating AI's capabilities with day-to-day tasks to increase productivity.  But what does this mean for the job market? AI has the capability to do almost anything that people are paying others to do, so how will these new tools affect work and job security? Humans and Machines While headlines nowadays scream "AI Steals Jobs," a closer look reveals the full equation. A recent McKinsey Global Institute report (as of October 27, 2023) states— AI will automate up to 800 million jobs by 2030, but will also create 950 million new ones.  AI will easily replace the repetitive, monotonous jobs in our world, leaving us humans to take on the more skilled, creative work. There is no reason t...

But how does it work, and what differentiates cryptocurrency from the traditional finance system that we typically use? In this post, I'll be going into detail on what exactly cryptocurrency is, how it works, and why it could be the new future of currency, potentially undermining the effectiveness of the money that we typically use now. What is Cryptocurrency? To understand what cryptocurrency is, let's look at our money system hundreds of years ago.  Back then, to buy anything, you wouldn't use bills, card, or any form of modern payment. Instead, you would take some bronze, silver, or gold and use that as payment. This was effective because silver and gold are valuable and rare resources, ...

OpenAI, the company behind the Chat-GPT's success, has upgraded its model to GPT-4, an AI with reasoning abilities far beyond the power of it's predecessor along with the ability to take in visual inputs as well as the ability to output AI-generated images.  However, as powerful as this AI may be, it is not without competition. Google has created its own AI powerhouse, Google Gemini, that confronts the abilities of GPT-4 head on.  While both models boast extraordinary capabilities and lead the AI industry together, each model has its own strengths and weaknesses, and in this post I will uncover the strengths and weaknesses of both Google Gemini and GPT-4 so that you know which AI is more suited to your needs. Note: The information in this blog is updated as of January 7th, 2024— the day that I am writing this. There may be technologi...

2-3 min read  •  In the expansive realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where discussions often gravitate towards supervised learning, the spotlight now shifts towards the intriguing domain– unsupervised learning. Let's dive into the intricacies of unsupervised learning, unraveling its methodologies, applications, and the uncharted territories it navigates without the constraints of predefined labels. Navigating the Autonomous Landscape of Unsupervised Learning As we dive into the core of unsupervised learning, its autonomy becomes particularly fascinating. Unlike its more rule-bound counterpart, supervised learning, which I discussed in a prior post, it boldly navigates the data landscape without predetermined answers. This autonomous approach empowers the AI model to identify patterns, relationships, and intrinsic structures within the dataset, unlocking new possibilities. Decoding Techniques: Beyond Clustering and Dimensionality Reduction At the heart of unsupervised learn...

4-5 min read  •  At this point in our lives, almost everyone knows how powerful AI has become. Not even 2 or 3 years ago, we couldn't even fathom the idea of a piece of technology being able to creatively and originally generate even a few lines of text, let alone a full essay. Now, such power among AI models is commonplace and ceases to impress us.  However, no one bothers to think about how these AI models work in the first place. How are they so powerful? What logical mechanics cause Artificial Intelligence to come to life and provide us with accurate responses to never-before-seen inputs?  In this post, I will be discussing the logical intricacies of neural networks, the pioneer of AI's seemingly endless power, and how that is being used today to power the AI revolution. Note that this post discusses supervised learning , a process where the AI is trained on labeled datasets. This means that the AI learns from the answers that we provide to generate its own answe...

3-4 min read  •  AI is automating almost everything we do nowadays. Need a creative name for a website? Chat GPT can output 10 stunning names in half the time that you could think of even one. Need the actual website built itself? There's an AI that can do that in the time that one would finish a cup of coffee. The point is, Artificial Intelligence is inevitably creeping its way into our lives bit by bit, and the day is not far where the skill of operating and building an AI model to perform a task will be of greater value than the skill of performing the task itself.  The skill of knowing how to utilize AI to complete tasks that we don't want to do to is increasingly growing in importance. That being said, I'll be discussing 10 of the best AI tools that would benefit productivity and day to day use, along with some tools that are plain fun to mess around with. 10.
