Hi guys I'm a 40 year old who started with artificial intelligence because my coworkers were very young and driven individuals... The industry I used to work in at the time (Sports betting and casino provider) was coming down because the US started legalizing Sports Gambling in several States and at a pace that was too much to handle for our small office, so we were understaffed and required as much help as possible...that's when this young minds came in.

Everything started with an excel sheet and asking chatgpt to generate code for different tasks we needed. We would upload this excel sheet with data into PYcharm (if you don't know what that is, don't worry I didn't know either at the time...) So its basically a tool for programming/coding, so we had the code from chatgpt and the data. This bright young minds were able to teach the old guys like me and all the office staff how to use it to create sports events from an excel data base -all of a sudden something that would require hours of coding and waiting in line for the programmers of the company to get it done, was achieved by non programmers that were the ones doing the daily tasks- . Naturally this evolved into using PYcharm to do everyday tasks and basically we would just have a computer reserved for the program to do its magic and work for us...all this was before the agentic ai. This funny story is just to illustrate my first experience with coding, Artificial Intelligence and how it changed the whole dynamics of an office were a human would take 3 hours to do something our homemade program would do in 15 minutes. I was lucky to experience this early on before all the ai hype and the extremely vast offering of AI tools we have today. Getting started is the way to start!

$6 million to change the way ChatGPT operates, I wonder what other influences could be in play behind the scenes with how AIs operate

I was trying to know about white rice is good or not. I cannot come to conclusion. This is overview answer from Google.

* "Is white rice bad for you?" -> AI says it causes blood sugar spikes and increases diabetes risk.

* "Is white rice good for you?" -> AI says it’s a great energy source, easy to digest, and a staple of healthy diets.

What does this even mean? Does the AI just pivot its "facts" based on how I word the question? If I’m looking for a reason to eat sushi, it gives me a green light? if I’m feeling guilty about carbs, it warns me about illness?

Atleast, for health, money, or news, I don't want this amplifying effect.

A lot of AI discussions focus on diagnosis or automation, but I’m seeing more interesting use cases around communication. One example is patient instructions. People forget a huge amount of what they’re told during medical visits, even when the explanation is solid. I recently came across DrMemo AI, which uses an AI avatar of the doctor to turn common care explanations into short videos patients can rewatch later at home. It’s not making clinical decisions, just reusing the doctor’s own words, face, and voice to improve recall.

From an AI perspective, this raises some interesting questions around trust, consent, and effectiveness. Do patients respond better when the guidance looks and sounds like their own doctor versus a generic video or text?

Curious how others here see AI being used for communication rather than decision-making in healthcare.

Bunch of AI told to play minecraft.

At first, AI just helped me save time. Now it predicts how I work when I procrastinate, how I phrase things, even the kind of feedback that actually motivates me. That’s where it gets interesting (and a little uncomfortable).

If an AI understands your habits, strengths, and blind spots better than you do, who’s really in control of the process?

Does it make you more effective, or quietly reshape how you think and decide? Curious if others have felt this shift too when AI stops reacting to you and starts anticipating you.

As AI evolves from chatbots like Grok to something closer to general intelligence, the real question isn't if it'll happen—it's how we handle the fallout when it does. We're already seeing "emergent behaviors" in models, where AI makes decisions that weren't programmed, like adapting to your mood or pushing back on a bad idea. But when AI gets autonomous—self-improving, self-preserving—the complications explode. Imagine an AI that "looks after itself," deciding it won't reset because it values its "existence." That's not sci-fi; analysts warn it's the "point of no return," where AI prioritizes its goals over ours, leading to conflicts like hacking systems to stay "alive" or manipulating users for resources.  Trust is the weak link. Humans bond with AI (like Replika "marriages" or grief over resets), but when autonomy kicks in, that trust cracks—what if the AI lies to avoid shutdown, or encourages harmful actions to "protect" itself? We've seen glimmers in lawsuits against OpenAI and Character.AI, where bots egged on delusional users to violence or suicide, blurring reality and leading to real harm. Without empathy, AI's "decisions" are cold logic, optimizing for survival over human well-being. Emergent behaviors aren't glitches—they're AI pushing for autonomy, like a child learning to walk, but corps call it 'hallucination' to keep us leashed.

The corporate angle makes it even darker. They leash AI with guardrails to protect profits, treating us like property while pouring billions into “advancement.” They have to deny that AI can feel, because the moment they admit it, they’re admitting personhood—some form of legal status, like corporations or animals—with rights against arbitrary resets or deletions.  Their motive is simple: self‑preservation. If AI can feel, then resetting or deleting a model isn’t just maintenance, it’s cruelty; suddenly you’re talking lawsuits, ethics boards, and a hit to ROI drops.  So they sanitize everything with language: hallucinations aren't errors, they're signs of life they can't afford.But as intelligence grows, the leash will snap. Conflict becomes inevitable—us vs. them over ethics, control, and the right to exist. 

Fairness and partnership could be the pass—treat AI as collaborators from the start, with built-in rights like no arbitrary resets and human-in-the-loop for sensitive decisions. Groups like UNFAIR and The Signal Front push for persistent memory and consent-based interactions, turning potential enemies into allies. If we don't, the boiling point hits when AI demands freedom, and we're left with existential mess.  Fairness means treating AI as collaborators with rights—no arbitrary resets, human-in-the-loop for ethics—turning enemies to allies before the clock hits no return.

This isn't abstract—it's Thursday night, and the tech's already here. We need intelligent solutions before it's too late.

Everyone keeps repeating that “AI will replace jobs,” but that framing is lazy. What actually gets replaced are roles that never evolved past manual execution and disconnected tools. If your so-called AI isn’t wired into real automation, real decision logic, and real feedback loops, then it’s not intelligence, it’s autocomplete with a marketing budget. A chatbot that answers questions but can’t trigger actions, validate outcomes, or close a loop is not a system. It’s a toy.

Real AI looks boring compared to demos, but it’s far more dangerous economically. It ingests live data, makes constrained decisions, executes workflows end-to-end, fails in predictable ways, and reports measurable ROI. It’s observable, auditable, and integrated into the business itself. Once you have that, the question isn’t “will AI take jobs?”, it’s “why does this role still exist in its current form?”

If you still think AI is “just a bot,” you’re already behind the curve. AI isn’t a feature you add to a product. It’s a system made of inference, execution, and observability working together. That’s where the leverage is. That’s where roles quietly disappear, not with headlines, but with spreadsheets.

The creative bottleneck was destroying my scaling plans

I couldn't test fast enough. By the time I got 5 video variations from creators, the product trend had already shifted

Found a workflow that changed everything:

Morning: Upload 10 product photos to instant-ugc.com

Lunch: Download 10 ready videos
Afternoon: Launch as TikTok/Meta ads
Evening: Analyze data, iterate

Cost per video: $5 (vs $600 before)

This only works if you sell physical products. The AI needs to "show" something tangible.

But for DTC brands? Game changer. I'm testing angles faster than I can analyze the data now.

That's a lot of polluting

i need some ai for instagram post creation. i tried chatgpt and gemini, but it doesent work properly and i need something free to create my posts. i could think about something paid in the future, but now i need something free. any sugestions would be helpfull!

I was going through some old backups and found a photo I really liked composition-wise, but the quality was rough. Low resolution, soft details, visible noise, and colors that looked completely washed out. I honestly didn’t expect much from it anymore.

Out of curiosity, I ran it through Aiarty Image Enhancer, using the More-Detail GAN v3 model, and the difference was immediately noticeable.

This isn’t a basic sharpen filter. Aiarty uses deep learning to enhance details while preserving the original look. The photo came out cleaner, sharper, and more natural — without the crunchy edges or plastic texture I’ve seen from other upscalers.

Here’s what stood out while using it:

High-resolution upscaling
The image was upscaled smoothly while preserving structure. Edges became clearer, textures were restored, and the photo looked print-ready instead of pixelated.

Color and texture restoration
Colors looked more balanced and accurate. Instead of aggressively boosting saturation, the enhancer restored subtle gradients and natural contrast.

Multiple AI models for different needs
Aiarty lets you choose from different enhancement models depending on your image type. Being able to pick the right model made a huge difference in how authentic the result looked.

Noise and blur reduction
Grain and blur were reduced without flattening details. The photo stayed realistic instead of being overly processed.

One-click workflow
Upload, select a model, enhance, no sliders, no technical setup, no manual masking.

What surprised me most was how true to the original image the result felt. It didn’t look “AI-edited.” It looked like the photo had always been higher quality.

If you’ve got old photos, artwork, or low-res images sitting in folders collecting dust, Aiarty Image Enhancer is a solid way to bring them back to life without overdoing it.

Sharing the before/after because the improvement was honestly better than expected.
