In case you have not yet noticed, artificial intelligence is beginning to make a major impact one our technology and it will increasingly impact our economy and everyday lives in ways that we can only try to imagine.

I will share a few simple examples of my own attempts to harness the power of AI and I encourage everybody to give the technology a try.

Last night, I used an AI chatbot to create a recipe for beef enchiladas. I provided a list of ingredients that I wanted to use such as refried beans, 1.05 lb. of ground beef, a red bell pepper, Arbo chili peppers, Rotel, etc. Within seconds, the chatbot created a complete recipe, including nutritional information for six servings of homemade boof enchiladas.

A second example is that I requested the chatbot to create a JavaScript function to encode http requests. The result was a one line function, complete with an example showing how to use the function.

Another coding example is that I supplied a few HTML tags and asked the chatbot if the code was valid HTML 5 code. I had intentionally included a couple of errors and the chatbot returned corrected code, explaining how it corrected the code.

Whether or not you begin getting your feet wet with this new technology, AI chatbots will probably begin impacting your life within the next few months, whether you realize when it is happening or not.

Has anybody else dabbled with AI yet? What impact do you see it having on you personally and society as a whole?

Up to 80 percent of workers could see jobs impacted by AI

The chatbots are coming for your job.

A new research paper claims that a staggering amount of employees could see their careers impacted by the rise of ChatGPT, a shockingly intelligent chatbot released in November.
Researchers from OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania argued in a new research paper that 80 percent of the US workforce could have at least 10 percent of their work tasks affected by the introduction of ChatGPT.

They also found that about 19 percent of workers may find at least 50 percent of their duties impacted by GPT, or General-purpose technologies.

Researchers also found that higher-income jobs will likely have greater exposure to GPT, but that it will span across almost all industries.
