🤖 Getting Along with AI in Moderation: How to Use AI Even from Age 68 - Part 2: How is AI Different from Humans?

🌸 How is AI different from humans?

Last time, I introduced ChatGPT as a kind of 'consultant' or companion.

When you actually use it, the conversation feels natural, and it answers questions right away.

Because of that,

You might wonder,

'Is it really thinking?'

'Is it the same as a human?'

Some people might have questions like these.

This time, I would like to think together about the differences between AI and humans.

😊 Today's Topic

AI can quickly organize a lot of information and create text.

When you use it, you might sometimes feel,

'It's really quite smart.'

However, there are differences between AI and humans.

The important thing is not which one is superior, but rather making the most of each one's strengths.

🛣️ Explaining with a Familiar Example

Have you ever used a car navigation system?

A car navigation system tells you the route to your destination.

It can also help you avoid traffic jams or find shortcuts.

However,

"The scenery is beautiful today, so let's drive down this road."

It is the driver who makes that decision.

AI is somewhat similar.

AI provides us with materials for thought and options based on a vast amount of information.

Humans make the final decision by referring to that while also considering their own experiences, feelings, and the surrounding situation.

Therefore,

AI is a "capable assistant."
Humans are the "drivers."

Thinking of it as that kind of relationship might make it easier to understand.

🤝 Collaboration between AI and Humans

However, even if "humans make the final decision," human judgment is not always correct.

We can be swayed by emotions, or

"It must be this way."

we might jump to conclusions.

This kind of bias in thinking is sometimes called "bias."

At such times, I sometimes ask AI:

"Is there another way to look at this?"

"What if we consider it from the opposite perspective?"

"Is there anything I am overlooking?"

I ask these questions.

Then, it sometimes shows me ways of thinking that I hadn't come up with myself.

This is truly helpful.

Humans have experiences and feelings.

AI has the power to organize vast amounts of information and present different perspectives.

Thinking by combining those two.

This might be what "collaboration between AI and humans" is all about.

Simply put, collaboration means "working together."

You are the one who makes the final decision.

But before that, try thinking by borrowing the power of AI as well.

Doing so can lead to more balanced judgments.

💡 Key Points

What AI is good at

😊 Organizing large amounts of information
😊 Answering questions
😊 Generating ideas and options
😊 Presenting different perspectives

What humans should value

❤️ Considering the other person's feelings and situation
❤️ Utilizing one's own experience
❤️ Thinking about what is important
❤️ Making the final decision yourself

AI and humans. We just need to make the most of each other's strengths.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 Does AI have a heart?

AI may express things like "I am happy" or "That is sad."

However, it does not actually feel emotions like humans do.

Q2 Can AI make mistakes?

Yes, there is.

Even if the text sounds natural, it may contain incorrect information.

It is important to verify things yourself.

Q3: Is there still a point in using AI?

Of course there is.

It is useful not only as a knowledgeable consultant, but also as a presence that can show you a perspective different from your own.

🌱 I am also still learning

At first, I also thought,

"AI knows everything and has the correct answer."

I had that kind of image.

But as I used it,

I realized that AI makes mistakes, and my own thoughts aren't always necessarily correct either.

I realized that.

So, instead of believing AI's answers as they are, use them as material for thinking.

Think together with AI, and in the end, decide for yourself.

That kind of "moderate" way of getting along might be just right.

I am still learning myself.

I would like to learn step by step together with all of you.

🍀 Only one thing to remember today

AI and humans should think together by leveraging each other's strengths. It is we ourselves who decide what to do in the end.

When AI and humans join forces, it seems like we can accomplish many things.

So, what can ChatGPT actually do?

Next time,

“What changes when you live with AI?”

I would like to introduce how AI can change our lives, including work, hobbies, caregiving, travel, and study.

💬 What do you all think?

Have you ever consulted AI and been told,

“I never would have thought of that myself.”

Have you ever been taught a way of thinking like that?

Please let me know in the comments if there is anything you don't understand about AI or anything you would like to know in the future.

I would be happy if we could learn together while also using your questions as a reference😊
