The Rise of AI in Everyday Life
AI has become an integral part of our daily lives, and this shift began with the introduction of tools like ChatGPT. With a plethora of AI tools available, including Copilot, Gemini, and Cloude, it’s imperative for everyone, especially software professionals, to start utilizing these technologies. If you haven’t started yet, now is the time to embrace these powerful tools.
The Impact on Jobs and Daily Life
A common concern is the impact of AI on jobs.
The answer is straightforward: AI is not here to take away your job but to make you more effective, to make your life easier. It may end up taking jobs of those unwilling to adapt. Embracing AI is crucial. For instance, if you were to write code in outdated environments like IDLE or Notepad instead of modern IDEs like PyCharm or VS Code, how would you feel?
Similarly, if you are not using AI to write the skeleton code, or to quickly spot bugs, you’re wasting valuable time, making yourself less proficient.
As a software developer, whether you’re just starting or are already established, it’s essential to adapt and learn these new tools. Beginners or junior developers will find their work expectations rising due to the efficiency brought by AI tools.
The Future of This Blog and the YouTube Channel
This blog is on the right track, focusing on the collection and processing of data. AI, machine learning, data science, and data analytics are interconnected fields that all begin with data. If you’re unfamiliar with data collection, I recommend checking out my previous posts for a comprehensive guide.
What’s Next?
The next step is learning how to process data. We’ll start with simple libraries like NumPy, which is fundamental in understanding how everything in computing boils down to numbers. Mastering NumPy will pave the way to understanding more complex libraries like Pandas. From there, we’ll delve into basic machine-learning algorithms and explore libraries such as SciKit Learn.
Building Your AI Knowledge
Our journey will continue as we build our knowledge base, eventually creating and training our own AI models. The goal is to equip you with the skills needed to apply for roles at leading AI companies like OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT.
This is the new direction for this blog and the YouTube channel, aimed at making you proficient in AI and machine learning. Stay tuned for more insightful posts. See you in the next one!
