AI should eat your ego

Stop lying to yourselves and start seeing the technology for what it is

Hariharan RP · · 4 min read

I see a lot of people still confident AI cant take over their job. It would be fine if they are really in a place where its far from the reach of AI such as farmers, doctors or maybe idk Military men?

I am struggling to think here because I am almost certain whatever the hell we do , I believe that Artificial intelligence can start pitching in and take over on the process later.

I wont dig deep into why with technical terms but i will put it very simple for you,

AIs are built on mathematics and mathematics is the only truth of the universe.

There is a term called Reinforcement learning, which means a method of teaching AI through trial and error. The machine gets feedback after every attempt, making micro-improvements until it achieves a good result.

In Stanford CS229 they give a very funny yet enlightening example how how they trained an helicopter with RL

as you can see it worked but its upside down! LOL

I am sure after more loops, they got it working right. Well this is how they made the robots just do the things well.


Let me give you an Analogy,
If i give you my phone and you do not know the 4 digit pin (robot not knowing the correct result yet) and my phone doesn’t block you from trying infinite attempts (engineers providing the feedback and space for the robot to try more but better not arrive at the previous wrong answer as it was wrong), you would eventually get the pin right. (The robot would inevitably find the right answer)

This is not how AI works but this is how it was trained.
Huge difference there.

Now when you go say hi to chatgpt it responses with a “typically good response for hi to an user from a AI product“

That would be,
”Hi How can i help you today?” or “Hi, (your name) whats up?“

Who know how many billion loops it had to go through to respond in a way it just works?

Now, can you imaging the level of work it does today? can you think and actually process how researchers and incredible engineers made it happen?
Unbelievable.

Why some people still don’t trust AI

I can see two reasons here personally,

People judged AI way too early not realizing that every passing day that AI was getting better, 2-3 years ago AI was basically not usable for certain use cases.

The very solid example is Will smith eating spaghetti.

So these people are still there or in utter disbelief today, AI does things incredible well because it was trained to do so that way.

Second is ego.

They are not ready to accept the fact that something out there is coming for them, their job or is better than them. if you are smart you will USE it than go against it.

AI should eat your ego.


AI was surely better than me in 95% of the things I put effort into at work. I delegated all of them. i am trying to do the real world thinking, be creative and finding ways how i can be hyper efficient effortlessly and planning for the future.

I love that its better than me and does it faster, I love that the product delivery is of much higher quality that what I would have delivered. I love that it spots bugs which i probably never would have, I love that it tells me thing i never know, I love that it makes me a better engineer and more importantly, I love that i never get tired when getting incredible amount of work done.

How humans should see AI

Whoever you may be, you should look to use AI and enhance your work or living.

Simple as that.

Why? Because whatever your use case may be, it was trained to get the work done.

Excel work? done.
Research work? faster and better.
Coding? negligible today.
Learning? Infinite intelligence for free.

AND IT IS BETTER THAN YOU OR IF NOT YET, IT WILL BE!

By the way robots are coming too, so be excited if you are a construction worker or someone of that sort, plan ahead.

Just use AI. I beg you the machines never tired. Your energy is priceless.

You were completely capable of finding the result of 64*80*10 but why did you use the calculator? to save time right? to delegate the hard stuff to machine.
Exactly.

If you are not using AI , imagine yourself not using a calculator but taking a pen and paper out for this.
That is good, but is that smart?

Go use AI, shape the way you want it, get your workflow optimized and I mean hell you can actually schedule tasks in paid AI subs like it can read your email on 8AM and get the work done by 10AM while you can focus on your life. get better.

To inspire you and give you a glimpse of what your future might look in 3 months if you start leveraging the incredible technology put in front of us.

This would be you.

Claude is lovely but I am a codex maxxer personally.

I hope all of you win at life.


Your business should use AI too.

We build AI systems that take the repeated work off your team, so your energy goes where it counts.
