Three Workers, One Morning, A Different AI Story

I arrived in Ohio Cleveland for the 50th anniversary of the Black Journalists’ National Association (NABJ) Convention. I hope the hallways will rumor with the conversation about AI, and they were, but not the way I expected. For the first two days, the sentence I heard from my colleague journalists is “We must protect ourselves.” In the session after the session, the Sens Camity was that AI was coming to replace us in a danger, threat, enemy.

Then I have been in the Bates, my hotel restaurants and a single conversation with my waiter gave me another view of the AI revolution.

When he brought me the bill, I asked Kevin Nestrick, 49, if he used AI. Was suffering from the horrible speech from the convention, I expected him that he would reject me or enter the anti-II Tierde.

“Not really,” he replied carefully, then paused. “In fact, he said,” I used it for the first time we changed the menu. I took a picture and uploaded it to the chatter and asked it to copy the text and prepare a message for a colleague. It saved me so much time. “

When he felt comfortable, he called a small colleague, Jamie Sergeant 5 -year -old, and he later introduced me to another small colleague, Dawood Hamzah, 37. “You should talk to these boys,” he said. “They use it a lot more.”

He was right. It quickly became clear that for Hamza and Sergeant, Chatzept is a part of their daily life. They don’t see it as a threat.

Power users

Betser Bartander Hamza and a Youth Motivational Speaker who founded its own empowerment association, hype (helps you produce excellence), Chatzipi effectively replaced Google to Google.

He told me, “I use it to create a strong, well-structured powerpoint presentation for my speech with the students.” However, its use extends much more in his professional life. This is his trip planner, health adviser and personal coach.

“I just used it for my woman’s birthday,” he said. “I said, ‘I want to feel comfortable so that there is a wet friendly food’ ‘It gave me a full trip, a wonderful trip.” “I asked me to give me the exercises of specific home workout and dynamics to relieve stress from a degrading disk on my back. And it did.”

Did it work? “Oh yes!” He reacted.

Former Special Education Teacher Sergeant has been using the ChatGP since its launch in late 2022. He used it to create a baseline lesson plan, saved him a few hours of work that he could dedicate to each of his students to create content for the individual needs.

“I saved the valuable time for about an hour to write a lesson plan,” he said. I asked him if it seemed like cheating. “No, because I used to do it the same it did it faster than me.” He rejected the idea that teachers should not use it. “I would say it is bad. We spend many hours outside the classroom working on our own things We We can make it faster if we can do it better” “

Like Hamza, Sergeant is also an interested traveling planner, using ChatzPT for a complex international holiday map. “Me and my brother and I planned to travel to Italy from Milan to Florence to Florence and it originally showed the map of the train from here, gave us good restaurants to us, and then it tells us how much it would cost.”

Both men keep a realistic view of the future of AI. They believe that jobs will be lost, but it is to adapt to people. Hamza insisted, “If you do not learn, develop and adjust, you fail, because it will not stop,” Hamza insisted. The sergeant agreed, adding that the key is to focus on what makes you people. “I am part of the experience, though AI is not part of that experience. Look for a way to separate yourself from AI and make yourself valuable.”

Alert

Kevin, who introduced me to the first group, represents the journey of separate demographics in AI. His use was born of authentic requirements. “I was in the crutch at one time to get this menu on the printer,” he remembered. AI has solved its problems within a few seconds.

That single, amazingly effective interaction transforms him from a non-user to curious. He told me, “Now I’m much more open for any of my problems I am going to ask it right now.”

His regrets about the disappearance of Bitcoin Boom also surprised him whether AI “little man” could be an equipment to help get one end in investment. “I guess that I am from the generation where all the Wall Street fat cats make money, when very few people just crushed,” he said. “How would we not be a little guy anymore?”

Their director, Curtis Helsar, 56, also introduced his wife to the Chatzipi about a year ago. He uses it to refine important work emails, making them more short and more professional. He is not afraid of it, it sees it as a tool that can be used for good or ill as a car. And he is not concerned about his work. “You have to stay in the building,” he laughed. “Kissing the kids, shaking hands, this kind of thing.”

I was shocked. In the restaurant, AI was not a terrible enemy; This is a useful, if incomplete, assistant. Young employees fully accepted it, when the elder generation was more careful but was still open, it was integrated in their own pace. They have seen the current panic as a movie that they saw earlier, remembering the fears that are with the rise of a personal computer.

The difference with my colleagues at the Journalism Conference was complete. Perhaps those whose tasks are created on information making and control of us see AI as a threat of existence, on the other hand people who serve it as another tool to work. The original AI Revolution, I realized, the title or the terrified convention halls are not happening. This was happening silently, in this national conversation, a practical problem at once.
