Imagine if your microwave was as smart as your smartphone. Would it refuse to heat up last night's pizza because it's "just not feeling the leftovers vibe today"? ๐ค๐๐ค

Before AI got its hands on big data, analytics, or your Spotify playlist, it had a simpler ambition โ to be the king (or queen!) of the checkers board.
Fun fact: The very first game-playing AI was developed way back in 1951 by a chap named Arthur Samuel. His program? All about the classic game of checkers. No tweets, no posts, no swiping left or right - just good ol' checkers.
Imagine: While youโre planning multiple moves ahead, this AI was learning with every piece you moved. Over time, it got so good, it could even predict winning strategies. Kinda like the grandpa of Chess(dot)com, but in an era where milkshakes and jukeboxes were the rage.
So the next time someone says AI's all about algorithms and fancy tech, you can quip back, ""Well, they once had a thing for checkers!"" A reminder that every genius, even in the tech world, starts with baby steps (or baby jumps, in this case).
Who knows? Maybe in another few decades, we'll reminisce about how the next big thing in tech once had a soft spot for... Sudoku? Only time will tell!

During the 60s, The Beatles, the Moon Landing, and the Civil Rights Movement dominated headlines. Yet, in tech corners, there was a bubbling optimism about the future of AI.
Experts claimed that a ""machine could be built within 20 years that would be the intellectual equal of the average human being."" Well, let's just say they were... ambitious. But boy, has the world caught up!
Back then, AI pioneers like Marvin Minsky believed we'd have human-like robots doing our chores. Think Rosie from The Jetsons! While Rosie hasn't greeted us with her sassy quips yet, today's AI has brought a different kind of magic. Today's AI is less about doing the dishes and more about redefining creativity, innovation, and information.
If the 1960s had the space race, the 2020s brought the AI rush! Big names like Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook (oh, I mean Meta) are sprinting, tossing coins into the AI wishing well. It's not rocket science - itโs AI! And while Google might be stumbling like a teen learning to moonwalk, startups are jiving their way into the spotlight, with VCs playing the tunes. The gold rush? More like the code rush!
If the 60s brought excitement with a pinch of trepidation, 2023 is a rollercoaster of emotions. While many are embracing AI as the next Beatles of tech, others fear it might be more of a techzilla, gobbling up jobs and creativity. The common folk? It seems some are so content with their playlists and pizzas; they arenโt ready to add AI to the mix. To each their own groove, right?
From ambitious predictions in the 1960s to the whirlwind of AI integrations today, this journey has been like a vinyl record. There are hits, there are misses, but the music? Oh, it plays on! So, whether you're dancing with the code or just tapping your feet to the AI beats, one thing's clear - the AI show has just begun. And it promises to be a classic!

just some friendly advice ๐๐๐
30/08/2023
The year is 2023, and youโve got a quirky new neighbor. He's moved into the modern age with a flair of the 1800s, sporting a straw hat, a curious ear, and an obsession for starry nights.
Your neighbor, Vincent, is an artist. And he's decided to take the digital plunge and design a website. He asks you to have a look at his project to see what you think...
Instead of a sleek minimalist landing, youโre greeted by a swirl of rich, vibrant colors. The mouse pointer? A tiny, dripping paintbrush. As it moves, it leaves a temporary trail of color, much like a brush on a canvas.
Forget dropdown menus. We're in Van Goghโs world now. Sunflowers ๐ป guide the way, each petal representing a different page. Want to read his bio? Hover over the sunflowerโs heart. Need contact info? Thatโs on a leaf.
The background is not the Starry Night you're expecting. Instead, it's an animated version where stars twinkle and the moon occasionally waxes and wanes.
There's a soft hum of ""Vincent"" by Don McLean playing in the background. Itโs magic but, of course, with a mute button for our modern sanity.
Texts don't just sit static. They're handwritten notes that sometimes appear as though theyโre still wet, drying as you read. The color? A rich ink blue, reminiscent of his letters to Theo.
Van Gogh loved the people he painted. So, in the 'Gallery' section, as you hover over each painting, the characters come to life, sharing anecdotes or whispering secrets about the art piece.
Rather than the typical 'About Us' and 'T&C', you'd find sketches of the French countryside, clickable and leading you to mini-blogs about Vincent's inspiration.
Mistyped a URL? Youโre met with a cheeky digital sketch of Vincent, holding his missing ear with a caption, โOops! Looks like I misplaced this page as well.โ
And Pop-Ups? (yes, even those) Instead of the annoying ads, an animated Van Gogh appears, holding a palette and brush, gently suggesting, โMaybe sign up for my newsletter? I promise to only send swirling starry updates."
Leaving this digital masterpiece, there's an uncanny feeling that websites aren't just interfaces. In the hands (or mind) of artists like Van Gogh, they're alive, breathing canvases that speak, sing, and, most importantly, tell stories.

On December 5th, 2000, the Daily Mail published an article with the headline, "Internet may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it".
Nowadays, it's almost comical to think of a world without the web. It's become the very fabric of our existence, connecting us in ways we could've only dreamt of back then.
Now, as we stand on the precipice of another technological revolution with AI, we're hearing echoes of the past.
Skeptics murmur, enthusiasts debate, and the world watches with bated breath. Is AI just another "passing fad"? Or is it the dawn of a new era, much like the internet was two decades ago?
The truth? Only time will tell. But if history has taught us anything, it's that underestimating the potential of innovation can lead to missed opportunities.
Where do you think AI will be in 20 years?

So You Want to Jam with AI? Here's Your Backstage Pass ๐ธ!
Alright, gather 'round, future AI rockstars! ๐ค Dream of making AI your next bandmate? Don't sweat it; I got your back. Think of this as your personal AI bootcamp โ with less mud and more code.
Let's break it down into a killer setlist:
Pre-Show Warmup: The Basics
Imagine diving into a deep pool without knowing how to paddle. You'd probably want some floaties, right? Start by grasping the essentials. Resources like โAI For Everyoneโ on Coursera are your floaties โ theyโll keep you afloat in the vast AI sea.
Soundcheck: Understanding Generative AI
Generative AI is like a jam band that keeps improvising. It can write tunes (or text), paint psychedelic portraits, and more. Grab a coffee โ and delve into OpenAI's GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) papers. Don't freak out! Remember, you're reading a tech paper, not deciphering Shakespeare's lost works. Keep it cool, keep it groovy.
First Set: Play with Toys
Before you shred a killer solo, you pluck some strings. Dive into platforms like OpenAI Playground. It lets you play with models like ChatGPT without the fuss of setting up a stage.
Roadie Life: DIY Time
Now, itโs time to get your hands dirty. Start a mini-project! Could be as simple as an AI joke generator or as ambitious as a sci-fi story co-writer. The world's your stage, rockstar! ๐ต
Tour Bus Reads: Continuous Learning
A musician never stops learning new chords. Books like โArtificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systemsโ can be your on-the-road read. Alternatively, dive into AI blogs and newsletters. Keep those brainwaves jamming!
Fan Club: Join a Community
Every rockstar has fans, right? But even better than fans are fellow rockers. Join AI forums, attend workshops, and don't shy away from AI meetups (even if virtual). ๐ป to networking!
Final Encore: Feedback Loop
Itโs vital. Share your AI gigs (projects) with friends, family, or fellow AI enthusiasts. Feedback is like the applause (or occasional boo) that helps you refine your act.
Curtain Call:
Like any musical journey, the path to mastering AI is filled with high notes, occasional bum notes, and a whole lot of jamming. So, plug in, amp up, and rock on with your AI self! ๐ธ๐ฅ

Do Robots Dream of Electric ๐?
So, you've watched sci-fi movies, read those edgy tech articles, or maybe overheard a buddy at your last virtual hangout saying, ""AI? Oh, they're just like our brains, only cooler!"" ๐ Well, letโs play a fun game of Mythbusters, Sesh style.
๐ง The Misconception:
AI is a mini-you, a brain-twin. It has our intelligence, dreams of that vacation in Bora Bora, and secretly thinks pineapple does belong on pizza.
The Reality Check:
Alright, deep breaths. Yes, AI is smart (in a 'can calculate super long math problems while youโre still counting on your fingers' kind of way). But comparing AI to our rich tapestry of human consciousness? That's like saying your microwave knows the emotional depth of reheating last nightโs pizza. Tasty? Yes. Philosophically profound? Not so much.
Here's the techy deets (don't worry, we'll keep it light):
Purpose-driven: AI is designed for specific tasks. Like a pro-chef ๐ฉโ๐ณ specializing in just one dish, it masters it. But ask it to whip up a soufflรฉ on a whim, and... well, letโs just hope you like scrambled eggs.
Algorithm All-Stars: AI operates on algorithms. Think of these as complex recipes that dictate how the AI thinks. No free will, no pondering lifeโs big questions after a Netflix binge. ๐บ
Data Hungry: While we have memories, feelings, and that haunting recollection of embarrassing moments from high school, AI thrives on data. Feed it numbers and patterns, and itโs in its element. Ask it about its first heartbreak, and youโll get a 404-error. ๐๐ค"

Here's how to future-proof yourself in the era of AI: a practical guide.
๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐:
Sure, tech skills are cool. But the real stars? Soft skills. Time management, communication, teamwork, and adaptability are now the gold standard. They're what make us uniquely human in a world of machines.
โจ ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ:
According to ChatGPT, based on the current landscape and the direction in which the future of work seems to be heading, these are the top 3 most vital soft skills you should be focusing on sharpening.
๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
Without AI: Join a public speaking club like Toastmasters or engage in group discussions. Practice active listening by paraphrasing what someone has said to ensure understanding.
With AI: Use ChatGPT to simulate conversations. Pose a topic and try to explain it in different ways. Ask the AI to provide feedback on clarity or to play devil's advocate to challenge your articulation.
๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ & ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐
Without AI: Solve puzzles, play strategy games, or engage in debates. Regularly challenge your own beliefs and consider alternative viewpoints.
With AI: Pose complex problems to ChatGPT and analyze the solutions provided. Ask the AI to play strategy games with you or to provide different perspectives on a topic.
๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ & ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ฒ
Without AI: Practice mindfulness and meditation. Engage in reflective listening, and regularly seek feedback from peers about your interactions.
With AI: Share fictional emotional scenarios with ChatGPT and ask for responses. Analyze the AI's feedback and reflect on how you might respond in real-life situations. Use the AI to simulate conversations that challenge your empathy.
Now over to you... ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ ๐๐ค ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐จ๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ช๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐-๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ค๐?

The US District Court seems to think not. It has confirmed that AI-generated art CAN'T be copyrighted. ๐ค๐จ
๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ, ๐๐ซ๐ญ, ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐ก๐๐ซ๐'๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐.๐
๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ : U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell backed the U.S. Copyright Office's position: art birthed solely by AI doesn't qualify for copyright protection. The law hasn't "stretched so far" to shield AI-spawned creations without a "guiding human touch."
๐๐๐ซ๐'๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฉ:
๐ Content purely birthed by AI isn't copyrighted. So technically, anyone can sn**ch and re-share AI-spun content. But hey, just 'cause it's legal doesn't make it cool. Republishing? Give credit where it's due. Let's keep things classy, shall we?
๐ While pure AI outputs aren't copyrightable, AI-assisted ones might be. If a human "selected or arranged" the content creatively, it could be deemed an original work.
๐ Wondering about the human touch threshold? If you modify an AI-crafted image, does it become copyrightable? The U.S. Copyright Office hints it's case-dependent. The essence? Originality and notable human input.
๐โ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐กโ๐๐ข๐โ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ : If an artist crafts an AI model trained solely on their art, could its outputs be copyrighted?
๐๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฅ: Whether you're an AI newbie or a pro, view AI as your palette, not the artist. When leveraging AI, let your distinct voice and creativity shine. AI should amplify, not overshadow, your creative journey.
๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐. As creators harness AI more, we'll grapple with intricate questions about human influence in AI artistry. Today's verdict is merely an appetizer. Creatives, stay tuned. Knowledge is your superpower.
๐๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ค ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฌ:
U.S. copyright law champions human ingenuity, evolving with tech leaps. Take cameras: they immortalize human creativity, choices, and vision, making their snapshots copyrightable.
In Burrow-Giles Lithographic Co. v. Sarony, the Supreme Court endorsed copyrights for photos, seeing them as "original intellectual conceptions of the author," spotlighting authors as humans.
๐พ๐'๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐...
Doesn't ideating and crafting a distinct character, narrative, or piece embody "human creativity, choices, and vision"?
If an artist fuses their unique lens to craft a singular prompt, leading to a one-off image, wouldn't that showcase a "guiding human touch"?
๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ, ๐๐'๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ญ.
But hey, we're not legal eagles, so we'll watch this space.
Your thoughts?
Should AI outputs be copyrighted or nah?

Ever wondered how the Sorting Hat in Hogwarts decides which house you belong to?
The Sorting Hat listens, learns, and then decides your house based on what it knows about you.
Now, imagine a digital version of that. A system that listens, learns, and guides you, making smart decisions based on the vast amount of information it has stored.
In essence, that's what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is...a sort of digital Sorting Hat, but instead of choosing your magical house...
..it helps recommend your next Netflix binge, analyze which business strategies would best serve your goals, and even create something that didn't exist before.
And while the nuances of AI are much more complex, it sure feels magical.
So while we wait for that Hogwarts letter that never came, we can wield a new type of magic in the digital world. ๐ชโจ
