This is where AI is today and by the end of the decade it will literally be a million times better. AI is already smarter than 95% of the population. Most people can’t write text, answer questions, solve problems, write computer code, play chess, create music, or paint pictures as well as AI. We are already comparing AI to the top 1% of humanity which outperforms most people on the planet in a single area while AI can do it in all areas.

Another day, another AI distraction,.. 🍓 People are speculating that this X account might just be the latest AI experiment from OpenAI. Could it be part of Project Q* — codenamed ‘Strawberry' Open Ai's next-gen reasoning engine? 🍓🍓🍓 They are suggesting the 3 strawberries in the name are a nod to the 3rd stage in OpenAi's levels of artificial intelligence: 1️⃣ Conversational AI (achieved!) 2️⃣ Reasoning (is Altman’s cryptic strawberry post hinting at this? https://lnkd.in/gsht6P7s) 3️⃣ Autonomous Agents (Is this X account the final piece of the puzzle?) Intriguing speculation or just another wild tangent? Only time (and AI) will tell.

Killing Me Slowly. AI - a whole new world of thinking. https://lnkd.in/ej9WwidQ AI is NOT coming. AI is HERE, where someone with a little imagination can create anything in no time. In about an hour, I wrote (GPT-4), created (Suno), and then built a terrible Music Video (Lumen5) that is actually not that bad. (I didn't play with the Audio uploads.) https://lnkd.in/e6Qyg5KD I don't know what will happen when we don't need to use tools. AI uses the tools; we direct AI to create. It's scary. This is not the beginning... we have already taken Step 4.

Another reason to love where AI is heading. I was able to create this song for my daughter (who loves to play piano) with nothing but a prompt. The new advances in AI have enabled me to start work on a dream project of mine that leverages this awesome technology to improve data specific processes. Watch this space for more announcements soon. It truly is an exciting time to be involved in AI. https://lnkd.in/gnGqKxhf #ai #thefutureishere #genai

I use AI every day all day and I'm past the "Holy Sh🤯t" moments for the most part. But today I tried #Suno for the first time and I'm utterly amazed and a little freaked out. It uses AI to create songs from text. WITH lyrics. By just typing in a vague description of what you want, you can generate a song (that never existed before). I decided to try it out by generating a song for my 5yo son, to play to him before bed tonight. My prompt was super vague: "A children's bedtime song using rhyming words in the lyrics." It creates two versions for you to consider, complete with album artwork and written lyrics! Can you imagine the use-cases for this in the marketing realm? #wowwowwow #mindblown #Suno #AI #AIMarketing #MarketingConsultant #LearnAI #artificialintelligence

In continuing with the idea (or my theory) that the ability to evaluate/critique/curate the output is the critical skill required to extract value out of #genAI (more so than prompting), once again Ethan Mollick nails it: it you can't tell the difference between good and not-so-good in a given domain or field of knowledge, you won't be a power user or even a decent user, but sometimes that is enough, depending on the use case. 🤔 For example, if you are the end consumer of AI-generated art(ifacts), such as music, then it doesn't matter whether you can distinguish good from not-so-good as you are the one enjoying the output. You are in fact the best person to know what you like. 😱 If you are using #genAI to write mission-critical code and can't tell the difference between robust and brittle, that's another issue. The critical evaluation skill is therefore dependent on the requirements of the output's end consumer.

Ethan Mollick - I think most people would agree that the appreciation of art, music, or any form of creative expression is subjective? Let's consider that AI has three basic characteristics. 1) It's exponential, moving faster than any other technology. 2) It's combinatorial and increasingly multimodal. 3) It's a massive compilation machine that can remix anything and everything that has ever been digitized. This certainly poses issues of originality, authenticity, and perhaps copyright, but that too is subjective. AI, essentially, rides on four primary layers of Internet protocol.1) Communication, 2) Search, 3) Commerce, and 4) Entertainment. Smartphones gave us mobility and sensor integration, within an ecosystem of Apps that provide enhanced scope, and now AI is embedded into all of this. AI "is" software, but it is "not" a specific software application [like anything we've ever known]. If we consider AI as simply another means to do "more and better" we are missing the bigger opportunity, to do "different and divergent". AI is a platform of functionality, it can help us with aspects of ideation, analytics, synthesis, and application. Those who do not understand this will will be usurped by those who do.

Crazy. Amazing. Almost unbelievable. Credit to Bart Caylor for introducing this AI example from Suno. My kids just kicked the tires and gave it a series of prompts. With each one sentence prompt, it produced two versions of a song. Our favorite was this prompt, "create a rap song about an 11-year-old boy who is a Ninja warrior." That same 11-year-old stopped playing Fortnite and said the song was pretty cool. Powered by two AI models (Suno & OpenAI) this example is an astoundingly engaging AI use. #AI #CreatorAI #AIMusic #KidsUsingAI https://lnkd.in/gFgQQF_T

Whether AI frontier models have "surpassed" human expertise isn't just about benchmarks - it's about the very nature of expertise itself. we lack consensus on what constitutes as human mastery of skill in complex cognitive domains.We can measure certain performance metrics, and expert judgment involves nuanced pattern recognition and strategic thinking (all AI frontier models can do today)- But we judge it better when it fits the larger context of goals/intentions, society, norms, etc. The question isn't just "Can AI outperform humans?" but "How do we even define and measure superior cognitive capability?" NOW, the discussion around AI, such as Suno v4 "mastering" music composition, raises questions about the nature of artistic expertise. When we're moved by a piece of music, what exactly moves us? the perfect progression of chords, or something deeper - the artist's lived experience, cultural heritage? We can easily verify AI on the technical compositions, how do we measure the authenticity of emotional expression (has no personal self) or the depth of cultural resonance (AI has no real culture)? Can we truly say AI has "surpassed" humans when some of music's most profound aspects resist quantification?

Artificial Intelligence wants YOU! More specifically, if you're on YouTube and #AI determines your content - however old it might be - violates current standards, be prepared to defend yourself...or strike out. Jim Babka and I take six minutes to review how private concerns by very large companies impact the necessary dialogue that is supposed to take place in democracy. NB: This shared link is from Rumble, not YouTube, which indicates yet another defense against the #ai arts that pod- and video-casters must use. https://lnkd.in/gnD4Pgvh
