I feel like I’m at a crossroads. A part of me is urging me to follow along with all the recent advances in AI and large language models like ChatGPT, while the other is stubbornly rooted in place and refusing to move. I think this is what my parents must’ve felt like when computers and smartphones started taking over the world — overwhelmed and dreading a future where they’re obsolete. If I don’t move soon, it’ll be too late to catch up because AI is quickly and surely taking over the world, and I’m not ready for it.
A quick look at my For You Twitter tab today shows I-don’t-know-how-many threads from accounts (I can’t tell if they’re real people or not anymore!) flaunting the discovery of a new GPT4 capability, a new Midjourney prompt idea, another ground-breaking text-to-video or music or whatever media generator, a GPT plugin or integration that automates many important daily tasks and generates money, plus a vast number of new and innovative AI services, and more.
