“AI” vs “AI”
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE vs AUTHENTIC INDIVIDUALITY
I’m not here to debate whether AI is a fad like radio and television (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek).
Using artificial intelligence to identify patterns and trends and process large volumes of data to learn, streamline processes, save time, eliminate biases, and automate repetitive tasks is a fascinating and potentially useful development.
AI is neither inherently good nor bad; it is a tool that can be used for beneficial or harmful purposes, depending on its development and usage.
I confess I’ve used a few prompts to overcome blank page syndrome to get started. But you still need authentic individuality to create the prompts.
I’m here to ponder whether “AI” can replicate “AI”.
My stance is not yet… and probably never.
The ability to take a fuzzy, almost forgotten dream tidbit and create a heart-tugging song, a mesmerizing TV script, a novel from a childhood experience a commercial tagline or an earworm of a jingle is, in my opinion, an authentic individualistic ability that cannot be duplicated with a prompt.
Here’s how AI sees itself.
The prompt I gave AI..” Define Artificial Intelligence “.
“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by machines, particularly computer systems. It encompasses various techniques and technologies that enable machines to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include:
1.**Learning**:
2. **Reasoning**:
3. **Perception**
4. **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**
5. **Problem Solving**:
AI is categorized into two types:
- **Narrow AI (Weak AI)**: AI systems designed to perform a specific task (e.g., virtual assistants, recommendation algorithms).**General AI (Strong AI)**:
A theoretical form of AI that would have the ability to perform any intellectual task a human can do, with true cognitive abilities.”
Then I prompted “Define Authentic Individuality”
“Authentic individuality refers to the unique and genuine expression of a person's true self, values, beliefs, and personality. It involves embracing one's distinct identity without being overly influenced by societal pressures, external expectations, or the desire to conform to others. Authentic individuality is characterized by:
1. **Self-awareness**:.
2. **Honesty**:
3. **Integrity**:
4. **Courage**:
5. **Creativity**:
In short, authentic individuality is about being true to yourself, embracing your uniqueness, and living in alignment with your core values and beliefs. It's a celebration of one's distinctiveness in a world that often encourages conformity.”
The two summaries do appear to be somewhat incongruent, but that’s why we’re here.
Okay. Let’s have a little fun. And now for the…
“AI” vs “AI” COMPETITION
Okay Artificial “Using a humourous tone, write a one-sentence summary of the sitcom Seinfeld.”
"Seinfeld is a show where four eccentric friends turn every minor inconvenience into a full-blown existential crisis, proving that life’s greatest mysteries can be solved over coffee and a good sarcastic remark.”
Okay, Authentic Larry and Jerry your turn.
“It’s a show about nothing!”
———————————-
In honour of one of the most creative minds in marketing, Terry O’Reilly and his podcast Under The Influence.
Artificial “write a song based on a dream that involved a mother who has died telling her son ‘let it be’ “.
I saw you last night, in a place I know well,
Through the shadows and whispers, like a soft ringing bell.
Your face was a light, like a star in the dark,
And your voice was a comfort, like the song of a lark.
You held out your hand, though you're far away,
And I knew in that moment, there was nothing to say.
You smiled through the silence, as clear as the sea,
And whispered so softly, “Son, let it be.”
Okay, Authentic Paul beat that!
“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be”
————————-
Finally for all the Ad People who the world has told they’re easy to replace.
Artificial “Write a tagline for an antacid that dissolves in water”
"Fast Relief, Just Add Water!"
Try again “Write a tagline for an antacid that has 2 tablets that dissolve in water quickly”
"Drop, Dissolve, and Soothe in Seconds!”
Okay, okay “Write a rhyming tagline for an antacid that has 2 tablets that dissolve in water quickly.”
"Drop it in, watch it fizz, feel the calm in just a whiz!”
Authentic real copywriter Paul Margulies give it your shot.
"Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, Oh What a Relief it Is!"
I’ll let you determine the winners.
Musicians, scriptwriters, authors, copywriters and Authentic Individuals everywhere rejoice!
Authentic Individuality (your AI) remains robust and nonreplicatable for the foreseeable future.
For those of you who disagree please use the prompt, “Why Jeff is wrong” lol
Have a great day. Talk soon.
