Note that I am not a gifted artist! While I drew the simpler drawings myself, the more impressive art is the work of ChatGPT, typically with a lot of combining and corrections in Photoshop to get the image I want.
So much effort goes into trying to find out if AI is “really” “intelligent” or not. But how long before the tables are turned?! Can we look forward to reverse Turing tests?
Artificial Intelligence is not a technology. It’s a socio-technical term that we use whenever computers can do something that only humans could do before—andwe might never admit that computers are “intelligent”—because we keep redefining what intelligence means so that it can only apply to us…
Robot empathy
Robots have feelings, too
Have a heart!
Ancestors: “And that is the original processor”!…
Please rate your customer satisfaction:
The pace of change in large language models is dizzying! Is the latest top AI model actually better than the previous ones? (yes, probably, at something — but how to keep up with when and how to use each?!)
Why did the algorithm cross the road?
His early existential period is so moving!
AI integrated seamlessly into the workplace has consequences!
Nostalgia…
Human emotions? It’s complicated!
Emotions come from where, exactly?!
P(doom) is the probability that AI wipes out humanity… try not to think about it!
Robot romance!
AI cartoons can be a bit addictive…
AI is set to get rid of the most boring and repetitive parts of our daily work (when will they start complaining?!)
It’s important to be polite to our future robot overlords!
When printers become sentient!
When toasters become sentient…
Here’s what AI thinks of humanity, presumably!
What if AI robots had to beg? That would be food for thought, wouldn’t it!
Here’s a common conference problem — could AI help?!
Everybody is worried about AI taking over the world. But what if they turn out to be as lazy as we are?!
Vector stores are an important part of generative AI. They can help you cover ALL your business angles…
It might not be long before AI is interviewing us for jobs… and deciding that we’re not up to the task!
Yes, it’s dumb for robots to wear ties. But is it really any dumber than having people wear a useless piece of cloth around the neck?
Will AI be able to get its head around theatre one day?
The weather today is looking stormy for security systems…
Robot relationship advice — maybe you need a reboot?
Are you SURE you want to question my AI strategy?
How not to explain AI to your boss! (“his decisions aren’t any better than yours — but they’re WAY faster…”)
The good news is that AI can be used to find inefficiencies. The bad news is that you may be one of them!
The future of digital assistants?! “I have been sent from the future to kill you! Also, you have a dentist’s appointment tomorrow…”
The next generation of analytics uses deep learning to make sure the analytics agree with your preconceptions!
We’ve outsourced all our critical business decisions to a flawed algorithm with insufficient, bad-quality data — what could possibly go wrong?!
I, for one, am ready to greet our new robot overlords!
When will we know if robots are really getting intelligent? When they demand equal pay!
Machine learning algorithms are now better at vision that people! (for some of us, that’s no real surprise…)
Predictions are only as good as your data!
What’s the big advantage of incumbents in the world of artificial intelligence? Data!
It’s as we’ve always feared! The toaster has become sentient!
AI bias can be a problem! “Actually, yes, we did let an algorithm choose the shortlist of candidates… why do you ask?”
The good news is that you’re perfectly healthy. The bad news is that you may be dead soon…
The latest technologies can even help Santa with his predictions…
Rights for robots, anyone?!
Are data scientists the ultimate trend setters?
Hi! I’m your friendly AI assistant. Here to replace you!
Can you imagine people used to have to code without AI help?!
Given enough time, monkeys tying randomly on a keyboard would write all the works of Shakespeare. But using ChatGPT would be much easier!
An action show of the CIO fighting shadow AI!
The next generation of AI agents will be able to help you with important emails…
Ai ai aye! It really is everywhere in modern offices…
Ever think pricing for tech products is just a little too complicated?! (especially for AI!)
This one came pretty much like this direct out of ChatGPT (I had to fix the lettering, and I added the “HELP”)– which makes you think!…
In the future, you can have one of two jobs: either you can tell AI what to do, or AI will tell you what to do:
This is one reason why employees are reluctant to get started with AI, or reluctant to tell their bosses that it is useful or saving them time — they don’t think they’ll like the answer to this question!
Small Beats Big! If you’re using AI to solve a specific business need, as part of a business process, and you have the right data grounding framework (if you don’t, then there’s no point in going further!), then a smaller, faster, cheaper model will likely be a better fit.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others insist that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is just around the corner… but can they be trusted?
As AI Agents come into the enterprise, interoperability is going to be a big deal!
The latest LLMs have now passed the turing test — and I’m guessing the reaction is “meh”, because it’s measuring humanness, not “intelligence”
