The user's relationship with generative AI

With a good number of users using generative AI to help them solve problems and explain complex ideas as well as for code generation and content creation, how are these users getting on with it? Some early research by Microsoft suggests that the technology is a success with a high percentage of users reporting they feel more productive and capable in the workplace whilst using Gen AI.


I recently attended a tech conference where AI LLMs where compared (there are quite a few to choose from currently) and one point that was raised was how your company's LLM ought to be designed to produce (Gen AI) advice in alignment with organisational policy. So it's important to know how your Gen AI LLM is biased and you might want to train in your organisations own policy/ideology/bias so that your staff users are given the right advice in the context of the organisation.


Also at the same conference the topic of speed appeared in the context of Gen AI, I'm personally less concerned about the few seconds wait and more interested in the type of results that are produced. 


Finally, I contemplated adding a label that said 'produced without the use of AI' onto the cover of my 2022 book on computers, highlighting the need to know when AI is being used and when it isn't.

Trust in humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles.

I viewed a Google YouTube short of Elon Musk getting his hair cut by an optimus humanoid robot and I thought about how impressive it is to have a skilled robot. Also, after a short discussion with some automotive professionals the topic of trust came up with reference to autonomous vehicles, “would you trust it?” They said. Well I thought that trust can be increased in stages by having the humanoid robot carry out riskier tasks, for example optimus might perform  a perfect straight razor shave  I'm sure Elon and others will be happy to volunteer once the optimus has been perfected. Happy holidays and a super prosperous 2025!

The user's ability to use generative AI and what it means.

For centuries companies have been built by employing smart people with ability, some leaders will tell you that the quality of the human employees is paramount to the success of a business. In current times employees intelligence can be augmented by AI and in particular Gen AI and it's about how well the employee can use gen AI to extend their human capabilities or make up for any deficiencies/weaknesses. How much weighting should the average employee give to the results of gen ai prompts? Are the employees generally rewarded or admonished for relying on gen ai? Is there more credit given to ideas that have been created by a human mind only or does the use of gen ai matter? Should every business have a gen ai usage policy? This post was created without the direct use of gen ai.
