The media is full of Artificial Intelligence (AI) news, most recently thanks to the rise of DeepSeek.
In my working life, AI is starting to reveal itself. Its application for the written word and for language management is already firmly established.
AI is here to stay and there’s little point in fighting it too much, but I’ll be honest, I am not altogether comfortable with it either.
For the written word, I see AI as a bit like a microwave ready meal (lots of salt, sugar and ultra processed stuff). It’s cheap, quick and easy, but it’s not good for your health, and you really could still do with knowing a bit about nutrition and how to cook.
Then there’s the news today that the Doomsday Clock has been revised to 89 seconds before midnight. Here’s an extract that references AI from this BBC news article - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgmkdz0297o
"The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists also warned that "an array of other disruptive technologies advanced last year in ways that make the world more dangerous".
"Systems that incorporate artificial intelligence in military targeting have been used in Ukraine and the Middle East, and several countries are moving to integrate artificial intelligence into their militaries.
"The organisation stressed that all these dangers "are greatly exacerbated by a potent threat multiplier: the spread of misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories that degrade the communication ecosystem and increasingly blur the line between truth and falsehood".
I recommend following the link and reading the whole piece, though it’s not cheerful at all.
AI may, or may not, be helping edge us closer to Armageddon. So, with that in mind dear reader, I am making a pledge. This website will not utilise AI for any content generation. The nonsense you read here is all my own making, it will reveal the shortcomings in my education and awareness. If there are mistakes, I own them.
In this space AI will henceforth be an abbreviation for ‘Adrian’s Insights’. Possibly quite a lot less useful to you than DeepSeek!
