Lately, I’ve been experimenting with using AI to build my own apps and software, like our in-house AI tiny house image generator. It’s been fun, engaging, and frightening all at once…
The advent of artificial intelligence is leading us to weird places. Since it seems as if we have no choice in the matter, we don’t really get to vote whether or not AI advances; it just seems like it’s going to happen whether we like it or not. I figure, why not join the party and see what fun there is to be had with these tools?
We seem to be very quickly headed to a place where you can think of an idea, feed it to AI, and it starts working on it…
Interesting and frightening all at once.
So, in this post, I really just wanted to share what I’ve been learning about regarding all of this, so you can consider this a resource page for what I know about AI, in case you want to join in on the frightening fun.
