Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Constant chatter about AI being in a boom right now, a blimp sized bubble going to pop soon. It's taking our jobs. These are common statements of expression I hear everyday. I use AI daily, I use it in and out of work every single day. While there is some truth in there, I say harness the power of it, learn it, don't run away, run towards it.Of course every person on here has heard the recent sentiment expressed by the experts, its eerie, dark, and think there is some truth there. However, I choose optimism, hoping leaders of the world choose governance and moderation. We should all run towards that, use AI for goodness, positivity, self-expression, and ethics.
