First words from the screen

AI shapes thoughts into verse

new paths softly bloom

• I had to do a training package today about using AI for communications, and thought I’d have a little practice session on ChatGPT. This was the instruction I gave:

“Write me a haiku about using AI for the first time to write the haiku”

Having done the training, it only reinforces my scepticism about AI, but I do see how it might be helpful in the right circumstances. Unfortunately, I think that it is so open to misuse, deliberately or accidentally, and I fear in these early days a lot of people and organisations will get their knickers in a twist and fall foul of what is really the Wild West out there.

The seduction of new technology is powerful, and the early adopters get super-excited. It is important that there are others who ground truth these novel opportunities and maintain some level of human experience, skill and knowledge. I feel that AI should be used when it is needed rather than because it is there.
