AI - Is Artificial Intelligence everywhere?
AI - Is Artificial Intelligence everywhere? What exactly is AI?
Is Ai a help or a hinderance? Can you opt out of AI?
You might have noticed that Ai is in the news a lot recently. It is creeping into our lives often without us realising. Even if we wish to avoid AI, it’s there whether we want it or not. When you read an article or description or look for information on a product or item, the chances are it could have been written by AI.
Books, newspapers articles, scientific journals, instructions, blogs, social media posts, advertisements, the list goes on & on, you name it and it can be written at least in part if not totally by AI
Artists & designers are using it for ideas, models, layouts, posters, pictures & paintings. It’s used in the film & video industry. You’ve all seen fake reels of well known politicians.
Students are using it to write their essays & homework. Which apparently is making their brains lazy. Doctors are using it to help with diagnostics.

So what is it? How has this happened? What can you do about it? Is it any use or help for you?
Will it dominate our lives & make it impossible to know truth from lies? Can you opt out or are you automatically in? A lot of questions & how will we find the answers? Ask AI perhaps?
What exactly is Ai?
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is the science of creating machines and software that can perform tasks which normally require human intelligence. These tasks include learning from experience, recognising patterns, understanding language, solving problems, and even making decisions. As the first Large language models (LLM) to gain public notice, OpenAI’s ChatGPT is probably the most used of the major AI models. That means many people are helping train it through their daily prompts and queries. Every time you use your computer or smart phone the words you type are fed and analysed and usually kept for future use. You Google solar panels & next thing you get lots of ads for … solar panels of course. But with great power comes great data-sucking demands. All of the major large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Google’s Gemini, X’s Grok, Microsoft’s Copilot and Meta.ai, rely on tiny bytes of information or petabytes of data, some of which comes from users like you.

What can you do about it?
You can try to opt out of web sites keeping your information. Use Incognito windows or tabs which are apparently private, so that none of your browsing history, cookies and site data, or information entered in forms are saved on your device.

Is AI any use or help for you?
It can be useful if you need information on a particular subject but you probably need to verify whether it’s is accurate. People who have used chatbots for help have sometimes been steered in the wrong direction with tragic consequences.

Will it dominate our lives & make it impossible to know truth from lies?
AI is becoming part of our daily lives While it brings convenience, it also raises concerns. With AI able to generate convincing text, images, and videos, it can sometimes blur the line between truth and lies. It can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. The EU wants to make sure that AI systems used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly. AI systems should be overseen by people, rather than by automation, to prevent harmful outcomes.

Can you opt out or are you automatically in?
Completely opting out of AI is becoming harder but is still possible. While AI features are often already contained phones, apps, and online services, you can choose products and services that prioritise privacy and disable AI in settings. To help you disable AI in many of the well known social media and search sites check out the help and information from The Media Copilot
