Yes I know it burns a huge great hole in the ozone layer, but I did it anyway…seems I no longer need a real life coach/trainer AI can doit for me.

Well dayum! 
This is certainly…interesting, not to mention amusing – but the comments are pretty spot on, to my astonishment.
I guess I should hide this “Coaching option” from my students lest they leave me and just use AI from now on.

My trainer was shocked how accurate it was, from one snap shot!

AI makes really good fitness plans for horses and is fantastic at comparing what dressage test skills you need for what test and finding lessons to work on.

I just used it to compare hoof boots and it was quite handy.

Is it wrong I’d like to ask AI to critique this pic of me & my VSE placing 2nd in a Tacky Tack competition?

Wow! Even I’m impressed. The problem is I’ve seen AI give horrible and dangerous advice. But that’s actually pretty amazing.

You mean AI steals that info from people who have developed it and make a living teaching.

It does, but it also links back to resources it uses and I’ve subscribed to a few programs I never would have found without AI.
Pros/cons to using it.

I’ve been actively using AI for over a year now. Developed a chatbot at work that saves me a ton of time and headaches. I’ve probably only scratched the surface with it, but I find it to be incredibly helpful in my day to day with work and personal things.
Like anything else, you can’t take its feedback as gospel as it’s not perfect, but I find it incredibly valuable and fascinating.
Being in my early 40’s, I wanted to understand the technology and not be left behind with it, downsides or not.
I can’t remember where I read/heard it, but with the image reading, they are using it to interpret X-rays and scans and it’s suppose to be quite accurate. The way it was framed was that AI has the capacity to see so many more images than any one single doctor, so there is a big advantage there.
Try putting a photo of a hoof in and ask it to tell you what it sees. Or ask it to score body condition. It’s pretty good there too.
I generally find it regularly gets me at least 80-90% of the way or more with what I’m looking for it to do for me.

I did feed ChatGPT some photos of a large wound on my horse slowly closing over time last summer. It was helpful because I couldn’t necessarily see the change over a few days or a week, but it would point out that an edge had smoothed, that the surface area was smaller, etc that I couldn’t see with my own eye. It actually helped me from getting too discouraged over a months-long recovery.

It’s good at images
AI can only do things that humans already know how to do. There is no surprise that it is “good” at doing very structured things that have been extensively professionally documented. Even if it’s mostly just stolen that data dn labor.
However like any model it’s junk-in, junk-out. It gets most of its knowledge on the Internet which is generally a cesspool of poor writing and misinformation. As small errors spread into the data it uses to form associations it will become less reliable.
And it can’t do anything new. People are heavily restricting access to copyrighted and trademarked materials now specifically to keep them from AI tools. Without that AI will never progress and will end up feeding on itself.

Absolutely agree. It’s basically Pandora’s box and the cats already well out of the bag for better or for worse.
I will say, having a neurodivergent brain, it seriously helps me organize and articulate thoughts, especially for work stuff. I probably use it the most as more of a personal assistant than anything else and that alone is beyond valuable to me.

Yep.
Generative AI is theft.
It cannot be creative. It cannot calculate. And it cannot fact check. It scrapes from whatever isn’t locked down, and has already been spreading mass information.
Using it to write code is getting dangerous - it already is placing malicious packets into code which is making it into final projects. If you don’t know how to check the work and just publish… garbage in, garbage out.
Machine learning is very valuable for data analysis and pattern recognition. But it is not intelligent.

That makes a lot of sense. And you are not relying on it for facts but more for ideas and general process info.
The people who quote the Google AI search results as gospel truth truly worry me. I have spent a good portion of my professional career trying to explain model outputs to people and yeah, most people just aren’t equipped to interpret them appropriately. It’s not like we teach it in schools

I DESPISE the Google AI results, as well as the Meta AI summaries of comment sections. The Google especially feels like it’s always wrong, or at the very least not a truly accurate representation.

I was able to turn off the AI google search results on Firefox with an App. I was sick of seeing them.

Use “-ai” after your search terms (without the quotes) and it won’t populate the AI results.
