Generative AI

ai

AI is the new field, growing at a terrifying rate and with controversial stability, in which LLMs or image models are used to generate "new" content. This can now be done with a startling degree of accuracy and understanding of the request.

It seems to me that every company on the planet is racing to incorporate AI into their business model, it's rather like the DotCom bubble, for those old enough to remember that. Or the BlockChain bubble which (at time of writing) hasn't actually burst yet.

While I'm not an AI specialist (few are, including AIs) I have a good understanding of the technology and how to implement it, and I'd be happy to discuss with you how it could help your business - and I'll be frank about where, and how, I think it might be a bad idea.

I've been using Generative AI since Jul 2022 (3 years).
