This morning is cloudy. According to the weather forecast, rain is expected in the afternoon. Julie and I decided to clear the fallen leaves in the backyard. The colorful maple leaves are all over mountains, prairies along the river banks during this autumn season. It is picturesque and beautiful.
To people who do the housekeeping, it involves a lot of manual work to clear it. It is great for the tourists, but it is extra work for the house owners. My mind was thinking about artificial intelligence as I swept the maple leaves. AI is so well advanced and well developed now. A lot of jobs in manufacturing are done by AI robots. It is in the auto manufacturing industry. Also in the catering industry, the chips factories, the internet industry, and the software industry. It is almost everywhere.
I think the gardening job will soon be taken over by the robots. AI robots with add-on features such as a blower, a vacuum sucking feature plus a shredder feature, and a packaging function will do the job ideally much better than people. I am pretty sure this robot would be ready to serve us within several years. It can do the job thoroughly, and people can have more time for leisure. People's minds, ways of thinking, and education direction will undergo drastic changes because of the AI intervention into daily human activities.
Efficiency would be improved by leaps and bounds. An example I can think of at the moment of writing is writing content for our blogs. In the past, the author, after writing his first draft, had to proofread it several times. Then commission someone to do the final proofreading before it is published. Today we have some software that can do a perfect job proofreading grammar, standard errors, misspelling, incorrect tone, incorrect punctuations, plagiarism. People call it the ideal proofreading machine.
What is AI? It simply stands for artificial intelligence. Some professionals use the term "artificial intelligence" to describe machines that mimic"cognitive" functions that humans associate with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem-solving." AI applications include advanced web search engines (i.e., Google), recommendation systems (used by YouTube, Amazon, and Netflix), understanding human speech (such as Siri and Alexa), self-driving cars (e.g., Tesla), automated decision-making, and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems (such as chess and Go). Ask a question at my Quora Space for more information.
Lately, another AI writing tool has been introduced, claiming that it can write search engine or SEO friendly content; thus, it helps the content rank higher in the major search engines such as Google, Ping, etc.
I look back to the past into the years I was in college. There was no smartphone, iPad, no tablets, no laptops; life was simple yet happy. We missed those days.
