AI in 2024: The Official Beginner's Guide to AI Mastery (While Preserving Your Humanity) - #067 Purple Elephant Radio

What are the 5 evergreen principles to keep our humanity in the age of AI?
How can you prompt Chat-GPT to give better answers for your specific use?
What are "AI Agents" and how will the average person use them?
How do you avoid LLMs giving you politically biased answers?


All this gets answered and more in this TIMELY episode of Purple Elephant Radio about the "State of AI" in 2024. From the jaw-dropping demos from OpenAI, Google, and Sam Altman's presentation at Microsoft's event to Elon Musk's grave warnings, "Artificial Intelligence" is a mixed bag of uber-optimism and apocalyptic pessimism in the media.

... Who do you tend to believe?

The Pew Research Center found that 52% of Americans are "more concerned than excited" about AI, so it's clear that we need to think deeply about the emerging technology ... because there's no sign of progress slowing down. (The survey is linked below).

Knowledge is power in this domain! "Willful ignorance" about the new AI tech only breeds fear and irrational pessimism.

My goal in the episode is to:
1. Demystify Some Common AI Jargon
2. Lay out a "Positive Vision" for the Best Uses of AI (as a Tech Newbie)
3. Discuss My "7 Deadly Concerns" with LLMs
4. Explore "5 Evergreen Principles" for Maintaining Your HUMANITY (in the Age of AI)

This is a must-listen.

A BRIEF SUMMARY ...

"In a world of digital overload and political tribalism, 'OFF WITH HIS HEAD' emerges as a crucial guide to understand and transcend the all-pervasive polarization in our culture today. The journey to go beyond the polarizing “culture wars,” which both ends of the political spectrum play to, requires an introspective look at the nature of thought and belief as a whole: Who thinks the thought? Who believes the belief?"
