Integrating AI Into My Life

March 2023 marked a pivotal time for me as I started incorporating AI into various aspects of my life. Witnessing the incredible applications of AI, driven by groundbreaking research and frequent innovations, I decided to harness AI to enhance my workflow instead of fearing it.

Previously, I found it challenging to use AI for coding, brainstorming blog ideas, refining headlines, and relying on it over traditional search engines. However, my perspective has shifted.

Let me share some ways I have been utilizing AI to simplify my life:

• ChatGPT for Search: For many queries, I prefer the interactive style of ChatGPT, which allows me to sift through information more effectively than traditional search engines. While I still need to verify facts, it helps streamline my search process.
• GitHub Copilot: AI still has a long way to go in developing substantial software. It can quickly create a React to-do app or implement sorting algorithms, but it struggles with understanding project requirements. Nevertheless, it excels at code autocompletion and assisting in debugging.
• DALL-E for Images: If you've followed my recent work, you may have noticed the AI-generated images I’ve been using. Experimenting with prompts has been a fun way to produce unique visuals rather than relying on typical sources like Unsplash.
• ChatGPT for Headlines: Crafting catchy blog post headlines has never been my strong suit. Now, I use ChatGPT for suggestions and then refine them before publishing on Medium.
• OpenAI API: I’m enjoying experimenting with OpenAI's API to create innovative apps and tools, which I plan to share on my blog and YouTube channel soon.

Stay tuned as I continue to explore the potential of AI in the coming weeks and months.

The video titled "Boba Tea Train - River Fox Train - West Sacramento" showcases a delightful journey, reflecting the theme of exploration and enjoyment of new experiences.

💊 AI's Positive Impact on Cancer Treatments

I hope the previous segment didn’t deter you! Let’s focus on one of the many positive contributions of AI. Artificial Intelligence is pioneering drug discovery in ways previously unimaginable.

In an inspiring case, AI has been instrumental in identifying personalized cancer treatments that enable patients to achieve remission. By automating various research processes, AI can even design novel treatments that had not been considered before.

I plan to explore more of AI's beneficial roles in our lives in the upcoming months, as the possibilities are truly limitless.

📴 The Trend of De-influencing on Social Media

I have extensively discussed the importance of consuming less, giving more, and making mindful purchases. It’s encouraging to see a similar philosophy gaining traction online.

The concept is straightforward—rather than promoting consumerism and quick fixes for every issue, the focus is on reducing consumption and prioritizing necessity. If you're interested in this movement, I recommend reading "The Story of More."

📚 Reading Updates and Recommendations

March has been one of my least productive months in terms of reading. Life, especially work, has gotten in the way, making it hard to stick to my "read at least once a day" routine.

The only book I completed was:

• Five Survive by Holly Jackson — 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Currently, I’m engaged with:

• The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
• All the Lights We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
• Letters from a Stoic by Seneca

🔉 Podcast Highlights and Recommendations

March has surprisingly been fruitful for podcast listening. Here are some notable episodes I enjoyed:

• The Data Highway Above on the a16z Podcast explores space as a new frontier and the problem of space debris. I learned a lot about pollution beyond our planet!
• A Climate Change Debate on "What Bitcoin Did" features a discussion between a renewable energy advocate and a fossil fuel engineer, highlighting a balanced approach to energy consumption.
• Tools for Hormone Optimization in Males from the Huberman Lab intrigued me, especially regarding the effects of pornography on male hormones and mindset.
• How to Buy a Social Network with the Tumblr CEO on "Decoder with Nilay Patel" offered insights into social media acquisitions, touching on content moderation and user verification challenges.
• Lastly, I recently listened to another episode of "Decoder with Nilay Patel" featuring LinkedIn's CPO, discussing the surge of generative AI—insightful and very relevant!
