AI usefulness
Yesterday, I shared a link to an article looking into the growing backlash against generative artificial intelligence (AI).
Although I have a certain scepticism towards AI (the hype cycle is insufferable, and, no, we don't need AI in every single piece of software) I'm also a big user of generative AI. One way I've been taking advantage of the ChatGPT app, is to practice my spoken English. Although I have a good grasp of the language, I get limited opportunities to speak English in my day-to-day life.
This leaves me very insecure about my English-speaking skills whenever the opportunity arises. ChatGPT has become a valuable tool as a conversation partner to work on this.
What's more, OpenAI's models also works very well for transcribing your speech. Like when you're out on a walk and talking to yourself. Because normal people do that, too, right? Right?
