AI is a force amplifier

🎯 Exactly! It's all in how we use it. We certainly could end up with a Skynet on our hands, but can also each have our own version of Cortana guiding us for good. And those things are not mutually exclusive. I think the current generation is well equipped to handle the transition. We've seen ALL the movies. We know all the warning signs. We've been training for this our whole lives.

This project of yours is a great example of using AI right. Very nice! Definitely a step in the right direction.

Well said! I wonder if you can remind me other cases of "using AI right". I am really curious!

I think we should build AI that is "of the people, by the people, for the people". I don't know if anyone is using that slogan now? Or maybe it is just me?

Here's a few that have crossed my feed recently:

  • AppFlowy which is an open source alternative to Notion. An AI enabled workspace for note taking and task management.

  • AI Describe Image is a pretty handy tool. Imagine this tech built directly into a browser to replace alt text for accessibility.

  • I had an idea for new type of interactive encyclopedia that would let you talk directly to historical figures. I think that would be amazing. I posted a comment about it on Reddit in a really interesting thread.

  • Speaking of Reddit, they held a hackathon recently and one of the entries was an AI powered moderator helper called cerebreddit.
