Use AI At Work

What is a Saturn return and what does that have to do with AI and what does that have to do with you right now? My name is Nick the Poet and I'm A creativity coach here at Cadre and you're probably wondering what am I doing talking about AI? And what am I doing talking about AI at work? So in addition to being a poet, I'm also a creative strategist at a marketing agency in the corporate world. And like everyone else, I can't have missed what's going on with AI and how everybody's talking about it.

And it's just a big, big, big thing right now. And so I just wanted to share kind of a wide-ranging with you about AI, about my experiences with it thus far. Hey Dan, how you doing? Hey Katie, welcome to the live stream. We're talking AI at work today. But I did want to just sneak a poem in real fast and it goes like this. Lavish gifts await us all when we realize the universe is constantly providing for us. Life is mysterious, serious, curious. Cheer yourself up. You're always on the cusp of greatness because you are in fact great.

It's not too late at any rate. The time is always now. Chris is on the call as well. Welcome, Chris. We're talking AI at work. And so I mentioned this thing about the Saturn return at the beginning, and I was reading this great article on LinkedIn about AI and the Saturn return. 5 years. And so that's the duration of Saturn's orbit around the sun, which means it lands in the same place in the sky it did when you were born around the time you turn 29. 5 to three years. So basically when you're 30, when you turn 30, Saturn returns to that same spot, that it was when you were born, which some people think this could be, a really difficult time in life.

And it's, can be a big moment. I know turning 30 for me was crossed it over some kind of precipice where I just quit worrying about things as much. What was it like for you when you turned 30? So think about that and then think about the internet. Hey, Luke, how's it going? Welcome to the live stream. So the internet was formed in about 1993, which is 30 years ago. So we could look at AI as the Saturn return of of the internet. So it's a whole new phase and really no one knows what it's going to be or where it's going to go.

But I just wanted to share some of my experience with it and get you thinking in a way where you might be able to begin using AI in your life, using it to create, using it to make life simpler. Or you may hear all of this and just be like, you know what? I don't want anything to do with AI. I'm going to just stick to, writing with a pencil, which might not be a bad idea and just forgetting it. So Condre asked, do you think AI will take over for mental health therapists online? I think that's a great question, and I think that it could serve some kind of purpose.

And once again, this is an opinion. I am not a medical expert, but I think that to answer like basic questions, basic mental health questions, it can be really effective as an opening thing. And it can be so hard to get into therapists. Like someone may call and try to get in to see a psychologist. It might take them, like three months or something. So to answer some basic questions like, I'm feeling this anxiety, you know, what does it mean? Is this normal for someone who is feeling anxiety? I think that could be a really great purpose for it and to help, you know, the person, get that help that they need sooner.

But there's something about the human experience and, talking with another human being. And even online, it works really well, but there's something about that human to human interaction where the healing, I believe, really, really takes place. And so whether or not a, do you remember that movie, Her, even, like back in 2016, I think it was when Joaquin Phoenix fell in love like the Siri app on his phone, basically. So it's like this has been coming for a long time. And so I don't know, it's a lot to think about, but I think if we keep.

working on it together, it's going to make it easier, just like anything else. If we try to go it alone, if we try to learn all about AI by ourselves, I know for me, it's like, you know, I'm going to get lost. But it's clearly here to stay. And so OpenAI released its blockbuster bot ChatGPT. This is from Business Insider. So just if you're wondering, like, what is ChatGPT? Everyone's talking about it. I'm going to just tell you a little bit about it here. So, and November, users began casually experimenting with the tool.

And to older millennials who grew up in IRC chat rooms, a text instant message system, the personal tone of conversations with the bot can evoke the experience of chatting online. But ChatGPT, the latest technology known as large language model tools doesn't speak with sentience and doesn't think the way people do. That means that even though ChatGPT can explain quantum physics or write a poem on command, a full AI takeover isn't exactly imminent according to experts. There's a saying that an infinite number of monkeys will eventually give you Shakespeare, said Matthew Sang, a law professor at Emory University who studies copyright implications for training and using large language models like ChatGPT.

So he's saying there's a large number of monkeys here giving you things that are impressive, but there is intrinsically a difference between the way that humans produce language and the way that large language models do it. He said, chatbots like GPT are powered by large amounts of data and computing techniques to make predictions to string words together in a meaningful way. They not only tap into a vast amount of vocabulary information, but also understand words in context. This helps them mimic speech patterns while dispatching and encyclopedic knowledge.

And so ChatGPT is going to give us these amazing answers and it can be a great tool like ChatGPT, how we come up with the content calendar. How do I make a content calendar? You know, how can I get a system that's going to, you know, schedule my meetings for me? It can do all of these amazing things. And at work, it can do data mining, customer service, task automation, decision making, and can be used in customer service applications to provide automated chatbot support for customers with questions about products and services.

And so we're seeing that stuff all the time. But I think what the interesting thing is, what can you personally use with it? What can you create with it that's going to make your life easier so that you can focus on other things? Or if you want to just avoid it altogether. So these are all things to think about. And for me, working as a digital marketer, one thing that I love is this tool called Jasper AI, which is just an amazing copywriting tool. It can help you write emails. It can help with descriptions.

It can help write better subject headlines. And so Jasper for AI is one thing that I've used a lot. And it's also like, I'm someone who has a lot of different ideas and dreams and ambitions. And I've got films that I'm still working at editing, I've got projects and working on things with different people. And you might be similar in that way. And it's almost like, okay, here's a tool where we can make those dreams come into reality. And so I think it's, we read this book at work all about AI marketing.

It's ultimately like, I think it could be used for good or for bad, but if we harness this amazing creative technology and power, what can we do to help humanity with it? And the question like, do you think AI will take over for mental health therapists online? Maybe it won't take over, but maybe we can use it to help more people. And maybe we can use it to make the therapist's life easier with scheduling with notes. ai, which is a note transcription service, but then that could get into client patient confidentiality.

So there's all these ethical questions, that come up. And I think if we ask them together, we're going to be able to come up with better answers. But I wanted to share some different possibilities with you, some actual websites and apps that you can go to and check out and see, if you might like them. So I've got some. post-it notes here. ai is an AI tool for making short form videos from long form content. So that's something as if you're a content creator, you know, could be very beneficial. I think we're all trying to figure out ways to take the long stuff and make it shorter.

This is another really cool one. ai. And so this one is to create custom royalty free music. You know, so if you're a video maker and you've always wanted to get your own music for free, now we can. that's really an amazing thing. ai is an AI tool for studio quality recording from your computer. ai removes background noises and echoes from calls. So if you're taking those Zoom calls from the coffee shop, you know, or your family's making noise in the house or whatever it is, this is going to help you.

a very cool thing. ai, and that's an amazing copyrighted tool. ai, which is apparently a less expensive version of Jasper, so I'm going to have to look into that one. ai will convert audio content into blog posts. ai. a automatically edits podcast episodes. Maverick creates personalized videos at scale. Flagship just commented, you have to send me these. Jay, Brandon, Matt, too. I will, of course, send these to you. They are super invaluable for productions, you know, and Brandon's someone who creates so much amazing content and has so many ideas that I think these could really, yeah, these are going to benefit anyone.

And it's like that thing, like, let's be creative together. Let's use these tools and just see, you know, what they do. And so to me, it's like, we can be so creative with these tools. And it's like, I don't necessarily know how the technology of my camera works, but it creates these images. So I don't know. I am optimistic about it. And so I'm going to share just a few other ones with you that you might be interested in. So Flare is an AI tool for designing branded content. ai. Iliastroke is an AI tool for creating vector images from text prompts.

So, you know, I am just kind of dabbling in this world of AI, you know, trying some different things out, learning about it.

I have no idea. where it's going. I just know that like anything, if we go there together, it's going to be better. And so that is the Saturn return of the internet, maybe. So it was 1993, now it's 2023, and we have a new thing happening here. Is it going to be like the NFT where it just disappears in some way, or it crashes or whatever, we hear less about it? I don't know, but think of just maybe trying some of these tools out. And please, if you do, let me know in the comments if you've tried one of these and how it worked for you.
