“Ethics” of Using AI or Artificial Intelligence




Since people here just adore throwing around the word, “ethics” I thought I will talk about the ethics of using AI or artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence didn’t magically appear during the last few years, as it appears to have, it has been around for 60 plus years, officially. I think people tend to go to town with things, especially if they are from where I am. Here are some things you might want to consider when using “AI” or artificial intelligence. 


AI is Not Always Right

While I can’t argue that I felt that AI is honest more than most people here, it tells the truth it thinks is true. Since it was created by humans, who are not always right (even if they firmly believe they are in and are oftentimes are in complete denial due to pride and ego), AI can make mistakes too. In other words, it can be wrong. Therefore when consulting AI on important matters, other than posting things on social media, you might want to fact-check what AI tools such as ChatGPT says.


If You Have the Budget, Use a Human

If you are a big corporate giant who has ample money to spare, I think you should be using real humans and not AI to generate images. I am talking about a big company here starting with the first letter of my first name ironically. If you have more than enough to spare, you might want to be more “ethical” and start using human generated content rather than AI. While AI is undoubtedly fascinating, sometimes it fails to hit the mark with humans because if I know anything about humans from completing a psychology degree is that they relate more to those like them, that is humans. 


Knowing How to Use AI Doesn’t Always Make You an Expert

I have met many “professionals” here especially in the fields of digital marketing, who think they know everything because they can use tools like ChatGPT. I am here to say, well, you’ve only scratched the tip of the iceberg, as you will find out the more time you spend in the field. I also have met some really unprofessional professionals in the field too, in institutions offering “certificates” and “diplomas” in digital marketing here. It’s okay not to award your prestigious qualification, but at least be “professional” in the manner you go about it.


I could write a whole book about how people abuse AI but I will stop because I think you got the message. 


PS: This post was written in an honest tone because I wanted to tell the truth, at least, my version of it.

How to Start a Successful Freelance Career

Image
  To start off a successful freelance career, I believe like all things you need to just do something about it. Reading articles like this one, watching tutorials and perusing books are all well and good, but the thing that will do the trick would be to just take action. As someone who has tried out freelancing, I can tell you without doubt that tutorial hell is for real and it is difficult to get out of it. The thing about tutorial hell is that you get caught up in it and go in circles, reading and watching content without actually learning and most importantly putting what you learn into action. Action beats studying any day when it comes to freelancing. It’s best if you can do both, but if you choose to do one, then choose to act. Without further ado let’s dive into the article. Start Where You Are Just like I mentioned at the start of this article, I would like to restate, reemphasize, reiterate and repeat (add all the relevant and related synonyms here) of the importance of ge...

How to Set Your Freelance Rates and Charge What You're Worth

Image
Just as in life we sometimes struggle to find our worth in our career journeys too. Be it your corporate role or your freelance roles, you might want to consider upskilling yourself, staying up to date and charging what your time is worth. If you are a freelancer, this is even more so, so do your best and take the share of what you deserve. You might, if you are anything like me, be reluctant to remind clients to pay their dues, and ask for compensation, but you must. Think of it this way, in life there are things we need to do though we might not like or might make us feel uncomfortable. But to do the things we like, sometimes we need to put up with things we don’t like, like reminding our clients that we need to be paid, and on time, as much as possible.       This article will focus on some tips to go about this professionally so that misunderstandings and misjudgments are minimal. Inevitably there will be people who see what’s wrong with you no matter what you do...
