Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool that has the potential to simplify many of our tasks and make our lives easier. However, this power must be used wisely. We must consider what tasks are suitable for AI to attempt and the ethical implications of AI being used for certain tasks. In addition, it's wise to consider whether AI can be used to its full potential or whether it's better to take a step back and think through the task ourselves.
Recently, I was using a marketing campaign management platform which provided an AI tool which could generate text content from a few keywords or prompts. The tool impressed me, as the suggestions weren't stellar, but they weren't horrible either. Intrigued, I decided to have some fun by entering keywords that shouldn't have much to do with the context at hand. I wanted to see what hotel campaign ideas could possibly come from a prompt of "drums, dinosaurs and ducks," and the tool suggested various campaign ideas.
While the tool's suggestions were harmless, they weren't really usable. This raises the question of whether AI should always be used to attempt absolutely everything. We must consider whether AI is equipped to handle certain prompts and consider the data involved. If we can see that the data in the AI's hands is untrained, it may be wise to take a step back and think through the task ourselves.
It is also important to consider the ethical implications of AI being used for certain tasks. For instance, AI can be used to generate creative copy, but this could be seen as unethical if it takes the jobs of human writers. There are also other ethical questions which must be considered when using AI.
As such, it is wise to take a step back and think before using AI for a task. We must consider whether the task is suitable for AI and also the ethical implications of AI being used for the task. While AI can be a powerful tool, it is important to use it wisely and make sure it is used to its full potential.
