AI is in front of us or has it been more common than we knew. Remember seeing old high school senior class pictures with smooth hair and straight teeth?1  Remember voice dubbing for a movie actor who could not sing? 2Marni Nixon was the ghost singer for Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. The results were there, but AI did not exist. |
The picture in the upper left of this post was not done with AI, but I have been tempted to duplicate it with the current technology.
But what fun would that be?
I do my posts with HTML,3HyperText Markup Language but others find it easier to use another tool for making posts with WordPress. I don’t find it easier to use code,4I’m not a code expert, so I do a lot of cut and paste. I just enjoy it more.
Is using a small piece of code to change font color a form of AI?
In-as-much as technology is/seems to be changing or improving exponentially faster than during the Luddite movement, it doesn’t make sense to me to fight it.
When home computers became available, my children said, “You need to keep up, Dad.”
I wrote two what I thought to be fairly complex programs in BASIC language. A seventh-grade student looked at what I had done and said he could make them faster and easier for other students to use. He did, and I decided I would be a computer user rather than a programmer.
When the parking meter app became available for our smart phone, a granddaughter said, “You need to keep up, Gramps.” And that wasn’t the first prompt I got from grandkids.
So, I said yup again and am happy I did!
Thomas Edison invented a device to record and play back sound. But not to worry, neither will the horseless carriage catch on.
