Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I figured it’s time we talked about something that’s been buzzing in the AI world lately – the democratization of AI. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Another buzzword?” But stick with me here, because this is actually pretty cool stuff that’s changing the game for us regular folks in tech. What the Heck is AI Democratization Anyway? AI democratization is all about making AI tools and technologies accessible to everyone, not just the big tech companies with deep pockets. Think of it like this: AI used to be this exclusive club that only the elite could join. But now, thanks to some awesome advancements, the doors are wide open, and everyone’s invited. Whether you’re a small business owner, a solo developer, or just a tech hobbyist, there’s something for you in the AI world. ...

I spent today neck deep in rego so I thought it would be fun to take a break from documenting something technical and instead talk about a funny moment in AI tinkering. Yes, Artificial Intelligence is the latest buzz so it just makes sense to blog about it, right? Also, yes, there’s a minor plug embedded in here for my wife and daughter and their business.

I’ve been helping my and wife put together stuff for their handmade soap business, Momma Bears Creations (That’s the shameless plug). ...

In Tinkering With Artificial Intelligence Blog Writing, I talked about tinkering with some various AI engines. Google has just come out with their AI Chatbot, Bard. As you can see from the blog post, Bard has been out for awhile but was only open to internal use. Google recently started providing invites to the public to use Bard. Yesterday, I received my invite to use Bard! My very first thought was to try and use Bard to generate a blog post. While the other AI products I used had specific blog writing tools, Bard is more like ChatGPT. Bard is a chatbot so it was easier to generate my content. ...

Writer’s block gets the best of us so I thought it was time to start exploring the possibilities of AI in blog writing. AI has been the rage for some time now and with the introduction of my new mentor, best friend, therapist, idea man or woman, ChatGPT, AI is tough to ignore. Like just about all the other geeks I know, I’ve tinkered with ChatGPT for varying reasons with varying degrees of success. It is indeed super cool and quite useful. ...
