One Good Reason to "Keep Up" with AI
There's a wave of urgency around AI from all different corners, and its easy to get caught up in the feeling that this is a new tech that you "need to keep up with."
Those who are preoccupied with staying current on details of how to use it (through tasks like "prompt engineering,") are overlooking a fundamental transformation taking place.
In the past, keeping up with technology meant learning the intricacies of the system, staying fluent in updates and any emerging complexities.
But with AI, the table's flipped.
The whole point of natural language processing (NLP) techniques is that it learns to understand humans more accurately, enabling you to communicate with it *without* specialized training.
AI is learning how to understand *us* better.
Working with AI through natural language is going to get easier - not harder.
There's still a good reason to check it out sooner than later. Not to learn prompting skills, but to understand what it's capable of already, and in the near future.
Experimenting with AI now, and understanding where it's going, will help your work and your business going forward. Not because you understand how to write the perfect prompt (there's no such thing).
But because you can see possibilities.
