00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
Hi and welcome to author conversations.
2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,120
My name is Chris Dabs and today we have got,
3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,760
I have to say, one of my favorite subjects actually,
4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,280
we're gonna be talking about AI.
5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,240
Yep, and you're right, we have got an author here
6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,720
who has looked at making a book simple for people
7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,480
to understand or make it easy for people to understand.
8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,920
AI, build confidence without techie jargon, it's fantastic.
9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,600
So today we're gonna be listening to Rick Samara
10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,640
who is an award-winning author.
11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,440
His book, AI for Beginners Demystified,
12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,200
has now won awards for on Life Fest America 2026
13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,920
and the literary Titan, amazing.
14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Well, a former Air Force Intelligence Officer,
15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
he's known for his exceptional ability
16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320
to simplify complex technical information
17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,080
into easy to understand concepts,
18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,520
which I think we all need with this subject.
19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,360
And throughout his military career,
20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Rick developed a unique talent for turning detailed data
21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720
into clear explanations that can be understood
22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,480
by a broad audience, including those
23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,840
without specialized knowledge most importantly,
24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,200
like a high school first year student, perhaps.
25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,000
His ability to connect advanced intelligence
26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,120
with everyday understanding made him a trusted figure
27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160
in both professional and educational environments,
28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,400
leaving a lasting impression on those that he worked with.
29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,640
Now today, Rick applies his expertise
30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,400
as the founder and co-owner of a digital marketing agency.
31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,040
It's called eInternet Marketing Services LLC
32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,200
and he uses his signature ability to simplify complex ideas,
33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
helping business owners understand
34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
and adopt artificial intelligence
35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440
into their digital marketing strategies.
36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Sounds like a plan for to me,
37
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,000
this is where we're going nowadays, I think.
38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,960
So by making AI accessible and practical,
39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,960
Rick enables both individuals and companies
40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,920
to boost their productivity and efficiency,
41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480
basically encouraging growth and innovation
42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,160
in an increasingly digital world.
43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,840
His book is available on Amazon
44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,560
and all other great book retailers
45
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,640
and you can also find a good book
46
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:11,560
directly underneath this video as well.
47
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,640
So Rick, welcome, it's lovely to have you here.
48
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:15,720
How are you today?
49
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,040
- I'm very asked a question,
50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,640
so good to be here with you.
51
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,400
- I really appreciate to start off.
52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,400
- Thank you very much.
53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,960
- Get my message out.
54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,960
- And it's a really important message, I think,
55
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,480
to get out nowadays, isn't it?
56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,880
Things are changing rapidly in business, as you said,
57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,200
and also in, well, personal lives as well with AI, isn't it?
58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,000
I mean, why did you write this book?
59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,960
What motivated you right now to get it out there?
60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,240
- Well, Chris, as you mentioned,
61
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,680
I have a digital marketing agency called
62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,520
eInner at Marketing Services.
63
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,800
We saw, we saw the writing gonna wall about
64
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,560
two and a half years ago that most digital marketing
65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,040
was moving to AI.
66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Yet, I got a lot of resistance from business owners
67
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,200
for a number of different reasons, because,
68
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,200
it was so new that there was resistance,
69
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,480
the restrictions, people who were scared,
70
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,080
they didn't know what they were getting into.
71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,640
So I wanted to figure out why, why, why?
72
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,640
You know, when AI came out, personal, I loved the idea.
73
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,200
I loved this new technology.
74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,000
I thought it's had so much to offer everybody.
75
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720
So I started doing some research,
76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,000
and I did more research and more research,
77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640
and I kept notes and I said, you know,
78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
I'm just trying to write a book about this.
79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,080
I never saw myself as an author,
80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
but I said, let's brush your off to skills.
81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Let's take everything that I've learned
82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240
and kind of package that into a book,
83
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,120
and we'll put it up on Amazon,
84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920
and I'll have it available for my clients,
85
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,320
you know, as a free gift, let them read it.
86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,640
So they're not afraid of artificial intelligence.
87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,480
So I wrote the book.
88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Now I will tell you that I subscribed to an agency
89
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,520
and I had the book written in AI.
90
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,600
I got a copy of the book.
91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,160
I looked at it, I read it, I crushed it.
92
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,680
I said, this is not me.
93
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,680
I need to speak as bricks some hour would speak.
94
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,080
I need to tell the story the way I want to tell the story
95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080
and not the way some machine is trying to tell the story for me.
96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,480
But it gave me somewhat of a structure to use
97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,720
and I was able to use the structure
98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
that I certainly had to write the book on my own.
99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,840
So that's how I got into it and I'm happy I did it.
100
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,160
I'm really happy I did it.
101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,720
Because I was really pleased.
102
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,040
And if you read the reviews on the book,
103
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,000
they pretty much say the same thing.
104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
You know, it says that my message really got across.
105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Yeah, this is a simple version of AI.
106
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,800
I used to fear it.
107
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,480
I didn't know anything about it.
108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,600
Now's the expert is my family on AI
109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600
and it, you know, the reviews are just so rewarding.
110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,280
That's why I did it and that's what I have right now.
111
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,280
I'm looking on artificial intelligence.
112
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:30,480
Now, I bet you didn't think it'd be a nice,
113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,240
official intelligence author five years ago, did you?
114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,280
No, I didn't.
115
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:36,400
I never envisioned.
116
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,240
You know, everybody kind of thinks that,
117
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
I'd like to write a book.
118
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,480
I'd have friends write books,
119
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,360
but I never really had that ambition until, you know,
120
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,240
I crossed this path.
121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Clients on the one hand,
122
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,440
artificial intelligence,
123
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,840
artificial intelligence out here
124
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,560
and how do I simplify it?
125
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,480
How do I bring it all together?
126
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,840
So now I'm an author.
127
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:02,240
And then I want to come forward.
128
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,240
It's really cool.
129
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
That's incredible.
130
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Yeah, congratulations on that.
131
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,320
That is amazing.
132
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,480
I have to say, especially like 2026 as well, this year as well.
133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
So, you know, it's like, is it you're really motoring forward?
134
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,200
So, yeah, congrats.
135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,120
I mean, you know, this is the thing though, isn't it?
136
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,320
You know, AI, we look at it in movies, you know,
137
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,440
obviously Terminator and all that sort of thing,
138
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,040
you know, all sorts of things.
139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,600
So it's seen as the demon.
140
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,680
But nowadays, I think that people are obviously looking at the,
141
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,000
well, we would call the large language models, right?
142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
But we're keeping away from techy stuff here
143
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,040
because your approach makes complex technology
144
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,280
like large language models feel approachable and even fun, right?
145
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,400
So why was it important for you to avoid all this techy jargon
146
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,640
when writing this book?
147
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,040
Well, I'm not a data scientist.
148
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,640
I'm not an engineer.
149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640
The hurdle was to, you know, produce the,
150
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,920
all the technology behind self-driving cars, you know,
151
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,520
things like that.
152
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,840
I'm not at that level.
153
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,600
And in order why even want to understand that level?
154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,720
Do you mention the major chatbots, you know,
155
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,880
chatty PT,
156
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,680
perplexity, chord, and those?
157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,480
AI, as we know it, I mean, it goes back.
158
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200
It goes back to 50s, you know,
159
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,200
but it didn't come to us as consumers until 2022
160
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,880
when open AI developed chatty PT.
161
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,040
So this technology is really in its empathy
162
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,440
that it in terms of, well, you know, how we know and understand it.
163
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,440
And it's really easy to use the, I'll call them chatbots,
164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520
you know, like chatty PT,
165
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,840
it's really easy to use and there's so many different functions
166
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,840
that not only businesses, but basic,
167
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,720
mom and dives and sisters and brothers and students
168
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,240
and aunts and uncles can be using
169
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,480
if they understand the value that it can provide to them.
170
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,080
And that's the fun part of the job.
171
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,560
Bring in that message across.
172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,720
- Nice, true.
173
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,560
And it helps people to be creative, I feel,
174
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,840
as well, funnily enough, because people think that you're not.
175
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,160
I mean, I understand completely what you're saying about the,
176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760
when that first iteration of your book came out
177
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,640
and it was like, somebody else wrote it, a machine wrote it,
178
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120
as far as you can say, it wasn't in your voice, was it?
179
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
So you had to edit it into your voice.
180
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,520
And so, yeah, I mean, wow, the options are so vast.
181
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,920
I mean, I lectured at the University of Brighton down here in England
182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,480
in Southern England and my students, they're all over AI,
183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,480
as you can imagine.
184
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,320
It helps them, right?
185
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,360
This is in journalism.
186
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,640
It helps them, but we always teach them not to rely on it
187
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,920
and to do exactly what you did.
188
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800
So in other words, you use it as a framework, right?
189
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,800
So once one simple AI tool or habit that you think
190
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,080
every beginner, like a student, should start using today then.
191
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,160
- Well, the first thing I started doing really was,
192
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,160
I said, as a log, a log, I went to chapter 15,
193
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,640
and I said, develop a log for me to,
194
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,640
so I can start putting in expenses, things that I do,
195
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:40,120
I keep the schedule, but this is better,
196
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,040
because I can go and check GPT and I'm thinking,
197
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,040
we might log in and treat for the month of May.
198
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,240
And it'll take a while to think and it'll give me everything
199
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,440
that I put in there.
200
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,760
So that's one easy thing that people can do.
201
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,200
All of these checkbox, all of these AI applications,
202
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,920
they check GPT and the Google Gemini and the FOD.
203
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,080
They all have paid programs, you know?
204
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,160
You can upgrade and pay $20 a month for them.
205
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Most people don't have to do that.
206
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640
They, all they need to do is log in,
207
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
I use a Google account, I use my Gmail account,
208
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:26,680
and I use it for the login to the chat box.
209
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,960
And I have an account set up for each month.
210
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,240
So you don't need to pay.
211
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,440
So my place to people is to pry it out,
212
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,040
don't get a quick paid program or a pro pro,
213
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,960
pro pro pro, I try saying that many times, real fast.
214
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,320
But, yeah, it's good to free version, it's tested out.
215
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Ask a thing this.
216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Yeah.
217
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Well, one of the most popular examples initially was
218
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,760
how to create a trip, I tend to write.
219
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,360
You can use a prevent, you know?
220
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,720
I am in Boyd Flames, Maryland,
221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,080
and I want to take a trip to kind of see
222
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,040
what sites should I be visiting?
223
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,640
What are those popular sites?
224
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,480
I'm writing for sponsored.
225
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,200
And then he asks you for more detailed information.
226
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Well, can you give me, you know, a list of hotels in the area?
227
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Think, think, think, think, you'll get a list of hotels in the area.
228
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Yeah, so it's simple stuff that anybody can use.
229
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,480
Let's say, you know, you're a,
230
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:45,320
you're a 40 year old man,
231
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,480
and you have been tasked by the family to create a,
232
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:55,560
your annual family gets together.
233
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,320
We think that he could use it for that.
234
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,120
He just plug in and ask the information about it,
235
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,720
and it'll come back to you with questions as well.
236
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Okay, well, you know, how many people are we talking about?
237
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,640
You know, things like that, and you engage with it,
238
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,040
and you iterate with it, and you refine your questions with it,
239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,880
and it'll, it'll help you do that.
240
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920
So there's some simple things.
241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,920
I mean, if you're a, if you're a, if you're a coach for your kids,
242
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,560
and I want to sudden that you're, you know,
243
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:32,560
you're going to develop a league and a schedule and rules and things like that.
244
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:36,360
Yeah, these chat pots will do it for you,
245
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,440
and I'm supposed to worry for free.
246
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480
Now, there might be things in there that you don't like,
247
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,000
and then you respond and you tell them that you don't like this for this reason.
248
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,720
But how about putting this in there, this rule,
249
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,080
or something, and it'll say, thank you very much,
250
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,440
and thanks, thanks.
251
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,760
Now, one of the things you want, you really want to do, too,
252
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
because these, these large language models
253
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,360
want something that's called machine learning,
254
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,320
and you don't need to know anything about that.
255
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Yeah, let the data scientists worry about machine learning.
256
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,000
But one of those things you want to do,
257
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,200
if it gives you a good response, you'll, you'll see a thumbs up or thumbs down.
258
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,440
You know, if it's a good response, click the thumbs up,
259
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:21,440
because that tells the machine that tells the chat pot,
260
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,960
this is a good response.
261
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,160
And I'll remember the good responses,
262
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,640
because they're all built on data,
263
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,680
thousands and thousands and millions and millions of data points,
264
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,160
and you keep providing thumbs up,
265
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,840
you're telling that's a good data point, so let's say this thing.
266
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,560
You teach them machines, and they show us from you as well.
267
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:47,040
Yeah, I really, it's amazing.
268
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,800
I mean, you know, without getting too geeky,
269
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800
I'm sorry, I have to geek out a little bit.
270
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080
You know, it's incredible, isn't it,
271
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,440
how the amount of power that this new industry kind of thing,
272
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,640
new industry uses?
273
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,360
You know, we've had issues over here in the UK,
274
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,120
where I think, you know, like OpenAI and all these guys
275
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,600
have decided not to come to various parts of the UK
276
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,160
and put their silver farms,
277
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,080
because we can't provide enough electricity to run those things.
278
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
I mean, it's amazing, isn't it?
279
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,280
It really is.
280
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Yeah, we have those issues in the United States as well.
281
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,880
But then, you know, the saving grace of it is,
282
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,920
this one, we gave a lot of jobs.
283
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,360
If in fact, you can build the infrastructure behind it,
284
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:42,160
and put in the data center, you know,
285
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,320
anyone in the country is not a great new jobs,
286
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,120
new high-tech paying jobs, so good paying jobs.
287
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Oh, well, exactly.
288
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
I mean, one of the issues that I have, you know,
289
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,240
with my students is that they worried,
290
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,880
because they think that AI is going to take over the jobs
291
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:00,840
that they would have had, right?
292
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,040
The graduate jobs that they would have gone for
293
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,960
straight out of university or college.
294
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,880
And, you know, you can kind of see that happening already,
295
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,480
can't you, you know, these sort of simple kind of jobs are being taken.
296
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,480
But do you think that people should be afraid of AI?
297
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,960
Or should they learn how to work alongside it?
298
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,640
More so.
299
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:27,200
One more company here now are putting AI in the job description.
300
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000
You have to know something about it.
301
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,720
And you could do that by getting start vacations,
302
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,600
but the best way to do it is, you know,
303
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,080
you try to examine and expand the figure out
304
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,080
what exactly they're asking for.
305
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:55,560
So you examine the question and by examining the question hard enough,
306
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,120
you can try to figure out what the problem is.
307
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,920
Because they're trying to solve a problem.
308
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:00,840
So what's in business?
309
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,360
Our business is going to be different.
310
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Every industry is going to be a little bit different
311
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,520
to try to solve the problem.
312
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Now, I'm article that I just posted.
313
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:18,480
I put a, you know, what if your employer requires you to know AI?
314
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,400
You know, you need to develop a framework with your employer.
315
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,400
You need to sit down.
316
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,920
Chris, I've worked for you.
317
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Okay, what are the parameters?
318
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,240
How can I use this?
319
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,600
Do you have something set up?
320
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Which shouldn't I ask, which shouldn't I incorporate?
321
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,480
So there are parameters.
322
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,880
And then I put together a checklist as well.
323
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960
You know, these are things to go over with your employer.
324
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,320
So that's already happening.
325
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040
So they're starting to use AI,
326
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840
in US companies, in industries.
327
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:57,320
I wouldn't have a fear at all about losing a job.
328
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,600
You know, the software industry, they need humans.
329
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,600
They don't want humans.
330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,000
But then in the more technical industries,
331
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,800
in the more creative industries, like, you know,
332
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,200
I'm most familiar with building a website,
333
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,920
building websites to find, you know, how do I use AI there?
334
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,920
How do I use AI for content?
335
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,320
And, you know, how do I structure it?
336
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,040
The established parameters and help them produce content
337
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,040
on their sites?
338
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,880
I know in my business how to use AI,
339
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,680
what people need to figure out is how, in their future jobs,
340
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,760
they can start using AI.
341
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,880
And the best way to do it is just to start practicing.
342
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,960
Start practicing.
343
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,840
You can't use it right now because, you know, AI
344
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520
isn't necessarily going to replace your job,
345
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,040
but, you know, your employer's like,
346
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240
"I want to hire somebody else who can do AI
347
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,880
just a little bit better than you."
348
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,880
So, in order to stay competitive, learn it,
349
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,120
start practicing.
350
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,520
Practice, practice, practice.
351
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,640
And you can start figuring out certain things in live-duly
352
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,720
that will help you stay ahead of competition at work.
353
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,880
You know, I mean, if you see a problem at work,
354
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,760
see if you could solve that problem.
355
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,720
When I was in the military, okay.
356
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,040
I was a young second.
357
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,000
We've then signed my first base.
358
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,360
There was England, there was a first base,
359
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,360
and I was always the AI, it's not there anymore,
360
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,320
it's a part of the buildings.
361
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,320
But a colonel gave a lecture to all incoming personnel.
362
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:44,920
And he said two things that I'll never ever forget.
363
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,720
And I used them, you know, they were in-brained in me.
364
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,920
So I hadn't made a major impact.
365
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,120
And one of the things he said was,
366
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,280
don't bring bring your problems.
367
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Bring your solutions to the problem.
368
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,960
You could use AI to figure out a problem at the job,
369
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,800
you know, some of that problem by using AI.
370
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,800
And, you know, be the smart guy in your division
371
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,720
or branch or whatever, that the boss will come to you
372
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,600
and ask you to do certain things.
373
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,720
It's always great when a boss superior comes to answer,
374
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,280
hey Rick, I, Colonel, Colonel said,
375
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,560
you know, I can come talk to you about this.
376
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,560
I know you don't work for him,
377
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,240
but he said you get things done.
378
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,880
Can you help me with this?
379
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,880
The other thing I'll always remember is, you know,
380
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040
work your bosses agenda.
381
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,800
And that's stuck with me too.
382
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,480
So whoever your boss is, know what they need
383
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,760
and work with them and trust me.
384
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,480
If you practice, practice, practice AI now,
385
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240
you will figure out a way to use AI
386
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,520
to help solve your boss's problem.
387
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,480
That's my two cents.
388
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,480
(laughs)
389
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,280
That's all I can do to be a Chris.
390
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,760
No, that's perfect.
391
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Yeah, the world had an honor,
392
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,000
so it came up with a report a couple of years ago.
393
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,120
And they said, yeah, jobs are gonna go away.
394
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:28,800
Know that about, but by the year 2025, 2027,
395
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,720
it's gonna be a net increase in job with AI.
396
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,880
So I would just advise anybody,
397
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,680
I wouldn't worry about it.
398
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,080
I wouldn't be scared.
399
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,080
I wouldn't stay away from it
400
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,120
because I feared it, I'd get involved
401
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:45,320
and I'd start learning it.
402
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,200
To my advantage.
403
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,400
I think it's not hard.
404
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400
I mean, you could spend a half an hour a day doing it.
405
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,240
Well, exactly.
406
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,400
I mean, that's the thing, isn't it?
407
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,600
I think, you know, I remember a while ago
408
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,000
when you used to be when you were going for a new job
409
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,720
or what for a new employer and everything else
410
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,720
that they would insist that you had Microsoft experience
411
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,120
so that you could write a word processor
412
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,680
or you knew how to use a bit of Excel
413
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,320
or something like that, right?
414
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,640
And at the time, people thought, oh my gosh,
415
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,000
it's the same thing.
416
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
People used to think, oh, we can't do this,
417
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,080
I can't do that.
418
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:24,920
I don't wanna change.
419
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,840
Why, you know, I'm good with a calculator,
420
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,440
I'm good with this, I'm good with that.
421
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,240
Why do I need to use a computer?
422
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,600
And then, you know, they were scared for their jobs also,
423
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,880
weren't they at that time?
424
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,800
But, you know, yes, that's change.
425
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,960
But why, yeah.
426
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,800
Right.
427
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,400
And the people asked you that you're running along.
428
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Exactly.
429
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,120
Exactly.
430
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320
There's a lot of apprehension to computers when they came out.
431
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,480
There was a lot of apprehension to cranes when they came out.
432
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,080
People were saying, I can't write that
433
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,200
'cause my stomach all fall apart at 30 miles an hour.
434
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,120
And no, it all comes as worries about technology
435
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,240
and how people doing the stuff.
436
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,200
We go through this, we've gone through this before.
437
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,440
Off to the cars, why?
438
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,080
I don't wanna give up my horse.
439
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,240
Exactly.
440
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,320
You have to go on the industry.
441
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,320
So, how am I going to have it?
442
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,160
Yeah.
443
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,000
Yeah.
444
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,200
And all these things became part of our lives.
445
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,320
We just accepted them, got you right.
446
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,600
So, with artificial intelligence,
447
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,760
it's pretty much the same thing.
448
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,120
It's already here.
449
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,120
You were already using it, whether you know it or not.
450
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:42,200
If you have a smartphone, your smartphone is full with AI.
451
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,960
From your camera to your apps, you know,
452
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,200
it's already here.
453
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280
You have to learn about it and make it--
454
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,960
And even the predictive text, right?
455
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,120
When you--
456
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:58,360
Yeah.
457
00:22:58,360 --> 00:22:59,760
Oh, amazing.
458
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,600
Yeah.
459
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,440
Yeah.
460
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,600
Yeah.
461
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,440
So, exactly.
462
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,640
In the old days, what was it?
463
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,040
There was a software, wasn't it,
464
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,680
that people like lawyers or accountants or whatever
465
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,120
used to put on their computers, they could dictate.
466
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,280
And I think that used to be quite expensive.
467
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,800
But now, well, they don't really need to do that, do they?
468
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,560
They can just talk to any one of these,
469
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,040
AI's, and get the same job done, right?
470
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,680
Right, right.
471
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,680
You know, I don't use the voice AI, you know,
472
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,320
is much, but you can do it, just look you're saying.
473
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,960
And it's a lot easier on your phone,
474
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,440
because all these apps, you all have a phone word.
475
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,600
And, you know, it's easier just to cut that speaker button
476
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,440
and ask.
477
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,840
But I find it writing the prompt to me is more effective
478
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,360
than speaking the prompt, because I'm--
479
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:54,040
I could be more accurate when I'm crazy, but that's just me.
480
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,080
But it's all good.
481
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,680
And of course, you know, it's really amazing.
482
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,680
So you teach?
483
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,320
Exactly.
484
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,640
I think-- yeah, yeah, yeah, I teach journalism and broadcast
485
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
journalism, which is great stuff.
486
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,240
And of course, we are now this year, certainly,
487
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,720
looking at introducing AI to help with not editing
488
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,840
or anything else, or writing, really,
489
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,320
but to do with design, for instance.
490
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,920
So, you know, Canva, that's one of the things, or Adobe,
491
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,520
have got very much the AI design process that is going on.
492
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,360
So you can create a photograph from nothing, right?
493
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,440
Or, you know, a photograph, an image from nothing.
494
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,960
And so, yeah, that's the kind of thing that we're looking at.
495
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:44,040
And so, you know, obviously, you can do that.
496
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,360
You can do that when--
497
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:46,680
You can do that, if you'd like.
498
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,880
Now, they-- oh, yeah, yeah, you can go to the young man
499
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,440
and say, create an image, and then they'll use nano--
500
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,920
nano-binana.
501
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,480
And it'll kick out your image.
502
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,880
If you'd like it, you download it, if you don't.
503
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:00,720
You iterate.
504
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,360
You come up with something else.
505
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:07,520
So I don't use TAN, but all that much anymore.
506
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,560
I use chatbots.
507
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,640
Don't need to, right?
508
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,440
I'll use--
509
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:10,960
Exactly.
510
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,800
I'll tell you what, that you don't need to.
511
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,320
Yeah, perfect.
512
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,360
Listen, obviously, we're running out of time now, Rick.
513
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:18,560
I said, no, shame, right?
514
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,640
But let's say that you've got a client comes to you
515
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,240
for, you know, at your marketing services and says,
516
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,240
look, I need to get some graphics done.
517
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:34,040
How would you go about explaining to them how to use, as you've just said,
518
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,040
the AI tools to create graphics or create pictures,
519
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,400
or all of that sort of thing?
520
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,280
It's a bit of a case study.
521
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,200
Well, I'm a time when they wanted to--
522
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,280
they wanted to do it on their own, to do it on their own,
523
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,120
using one of the chatbots.
524
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,400
They could play with chatbots, they would take the cat,
525
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,400
because they use Dolly Wree.
526
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,520
That's the name of their image creator.
527
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:07,200
I like Gemini for that, because Gemini uses nano-banana.
528
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,120
And I would tell them, try it, just go in and--
529
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,240
when you go into something like Gemini,
530
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,960
it'll have a little box down there, create picture, or an image, whatever--
531
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,520
you know what it says, but you know, it's the same thing.
532
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,200
So then you just prompt it, and that's a good way to start learning about AI
533
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,440
and how to create a prompt.
534
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Try to be specific as specific as possible.
535
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Another trick you can do is have the chatbot actually write the prompt for you.
536
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Type in.
537
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,960
Write a detail prompt.
538
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,360
This is what I want to explain graphically.
539
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:55,800
I need an image or an infographic that describes such and such, such and such,
540
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,640
and such and such, give me a detail prompt.
541
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,520
And it'll write the prompt for you.
542
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,480
So then you just copy and paste the prompt, put it back in the Gemini,
543
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:12,520
and go use nano-banana to create a poster, an infographic, a plain image.
544
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,480
And let's say you want your logo on the image and they didn't produce it for you.
545
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,880
Well, you just go in the next time and say, put my logo on the left hand corner.
546
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,880
Now, you may have to upload your logo, but they have a little plus sign there,
547
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,880
and all you do is you go to your hard drive on your computer,
548
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,520
and you hit the picture of your--
549
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,880
an image of your logo, and it'll know that's the logo you want
550
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,400
on that image.
551
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,200
So if you don't like the finished product that they deliver,
552
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,000
just update it, just update it in your prompt.
553
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,600
But you could even get them the right to prompt for it.
554
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,720
You know, it's the--
555
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:03,240
And I don't learn how to practice, Chris.
556
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,440
Yeah, exactly, I mean, that's-- yeah.
557
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,280
That's the point, isn't it, right?
558
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,400
So it's-- through practice, you obviously can become very good at using AI
559
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,080
for whatever it is that you need.
560
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,640
I mean, my father's quite elderly, and he's in there as well now.
561
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,480
My mother-in-law, same kind of thing.
562
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,760
You know, they're doing like this.
563
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,000
So anybody can do it from students through to retirees, right?
564
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000
So everyone can absolutely just go ahead and really benefit.
565
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Yeah, exactly.
566
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,080
Well, listen, thank you very much, Rick.
567
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,200
We are out of time.
568
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,080
But I think that this is the beginning of a fascinating subject.
569
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,960
Are you going to be writing a second version of AI for beginners,
570
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,000
de-mystified, do you think?
571
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,240
I haven't been able-- I have all my notes put together,
572
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:57,000
and it's going to be, you know, AI from beginner to practitioner.
573
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,720
And I hope to put all these simple things in.
574
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,880
Hey, if you're a softball coach, you're a vault--
575
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,520
you have a bowling league, you have this, you just--
576
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,440
and put the-- actually put the prompts in,
577
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,880
the help people, you know, get started, and, you know,
578
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,960
continue with my message.
579
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,320
So hopefully--
580
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,200
I will.
581
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,800
Hopefully I'll get that done.
582
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,400
I just have to find a time.
583
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Fantastic.
584
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,720
That's the only thing, isn't it, right?
585
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,440
It's just--
586
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,240
It's just--
587
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,840
Yeah, it's interesting, but, uh,
588
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,640
uh, um, at least I have AI, it helped me, you know?
589
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,040
So, uh, I think I have all the egg up on a lot of other people.
590
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,440
Uh, because I practice--
591
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,480
Practice, practice, practice.
592
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Yeah.
593
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,440
No.
594
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280
Well, it's an interesting thing to do.
595
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,280
I appreciate it. You can have a hobby like that, really, couldn't you?
596
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,040
So, Rick, yeah, thank you very much for joining us today.
597
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,680
Rick Zemara, it's been wonderful talking to you.
598
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,320
You know, you're an award-winning author, don't forget.
599
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:03,160
And listen, listeners and viewers, make sure that you check out AI for beginners, de-mystified.
600
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,080
You know, it does not that often where a book comes out
601
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,080
and wins awards almost immediately.
602
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,080
So, it must be telling you something.
603
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,640
So, check it out on Amazon and, you know, feel free to leave a comment down below,
604
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,400
get involved in the conversation.
605
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,560
And let's hook up and understand how AI can really help us.
606
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,800
It's not going to take too many jobs.
607
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,200
It will replace or maybe augment them.
608
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:26,920
Who knows?
609
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,840
But let's see what happens, okay?
610
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,120
But in the meantime, I think, Rick, your message probably is,
611
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,000
enjoy it, learn it and just move forward with it.
612
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,640
Would I be right?
613
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,760
That's exactly where I cross.
614
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Exactly.
615
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,800
You then, you know it.
616
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,640
You can't have had the part.
617
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,600
Well, I'm going to go into...
618
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,000
There you go.
619
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,280
I should be a coach.
620
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,560
So, there we are.
621
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:57,080
Listen, Rick Zemara, thank you very much for joining me on this edition of "Or the Conversations."
622
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,040
I hope to speak to you again soon with your second book.
623
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,400
In the meantime, have fun, enjoy AI and everybody else.
624
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,840
Also enjoy AI.
625
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Love you to meet you, Rick.
626
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,440
Back of course.
627
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,240
Break to meet you, too.
628
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,280
Okay.
629
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,280
Take care.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
Hi and welcome to author conversations.
2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,120
My name is Chris Dabs and today we have got,
3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,760
I have to say, one of my favorite subjects actually,
4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,280
we're gonna be talking about AI.
5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,240
Yep, and you're right, we have got an author here
6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,720
who has looked at making a book simple for people
7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,480
to understand or make it easy for people to understand.
8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,920
AI, build confidence without techie jargon, it's fantastic.
9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,600
So today we're gonna be listening to Rick Samara
10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,640
who is an award-winning author.
11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,440
His book, AI for Beginners Demystified,
12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,200
has now won awards for on Life Fest America 2026
13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,920
and the literary Titan, amazing.
14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Well, a former Air Force Intelligence Officer,
15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
he's known for his exceptional ability
16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320
to simplify complex technical information
17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,080
into easy to understand concepts,
18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,520
which I think we all need with this subject.
19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,360
And throughout his military career,
20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Rick developed a unique talent for turning detailed data
21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720
into clear explanations that can be understood
22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,480
by a broad audience, including those
23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,840
without specialized knowledge most importantly,
24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,200
like a high school first year student, perhaps.
25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,000
His ability to connect advanced intelligence
26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,120
with everyday understanding made him a trusted figure
27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160
in both professional and educational environments,
28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,400
leaving a lasting impression on those that he worked with.
29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,640
Now today, Rick applies his expertise
30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,400
as the founder and co-owner of a digital marketing agency.
31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,040
It's called eInternet Marketing Services LLC
32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,200
and he uses his signature ability to simplify complex ideas,
33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
helping business owners understand
34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
and adopt artificial intelligence
35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440
into their digital marketing strategies.
36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Sounds like a plan for to me,
37
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,000
this is where we're going nowadays, I think.
38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,960
So by making AI accessible and practical,
39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,960
Rick enables both individuals and companies
40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,920
to boost their productivity and efficiency,
41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480
basically encouraging growth and innovation
42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,160
in an increasingly digital world.
43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,840
His book is available on Amazon
44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,560
and all other great book retailers
45
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,640
and you can also find a good book
46
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:11,560
directly underneath this video as well.
47
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,640
So Rick, welcome, it's lovely to have you here.
48
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:15,720
How are you today?
49
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,040
- I'm very asked a question,
50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,640
so good to be here with you.
51
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,400
- I really appreciate to start off.
52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,400
- Thank you very much.
53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,960
- Get my message out.
54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,960
- And it's a really important message, I think,
55
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,480
to get out nowadays, isn't it?
56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,880
Things are changing rapidly in business, as you said,
57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,200
and also in, well, personal lives as well with AI, isn't it?
58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,000
I mean, why did you write this book?
59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,960
What motivated you right now to get it out there?
60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,240
- Well, Chris, as you mentioned,
61
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,680
I have a digital marketing agency called
62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,520
eInner at Marketing Services.
63
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,800
We saw, we saw the writing gonna wall about
64
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,560
two and a half years ago that most digital marketing
65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,040
was moving to AI.
66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Yet, I got a lot of resistance from business owners
67
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,200
for a number of different reasons, because,
68
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,200
it was so new that there was resistance,
69
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,480
the restrictions, people who were scared,
70
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,080
they didn't know what they were getting into.
71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,640
So I wanted to figure out why, why, why?
72
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,640
You know, when AI came out, personal, I loved the idea.
73
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,200
I loved this new technology.
74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,000
I thought it's had so much to offer everybody.
75
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,720
So I started doing some research,
76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,000
and I did more research and more research,
77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640
and I kept notes and I said, you know,
78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
I'm just trying to write a book about this.
79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,080
I never saw myself as an author,
80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
but I said, let's brush your off to skills.
81
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Let's take everything that I've learned
82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,240
and kind of package that into a book,
83
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,120
and we'll put it up on Amazon,
84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920
and I'll have it available for my clients,
85
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,320
you know, as a free gift, let them read it.
86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,640
So they're not afraid of artificial intelligence.
87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,480
So I wrote the book.
88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Now I will tell you that I subscribed to an agency
89
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,520
and I had the book written in AI.
90
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,600
I got a copy of the book.
91
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,160
I looked at it, I read it, I crushed it.
92
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,680
I said, this is not me.
93
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,680
I need to speak as bricks some hour would speak.
94
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,080
I need to tell the story the way I want to tell the story
95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080
and not the way some machine is trying to tell the story for me.
96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,480
But it gave me somewhat of a structure to use
97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,720
and I was able to use the structure
98
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
that I certainly had to write the book on my own.
99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,840
So that's how I got into it and I'm happy I did it.
100
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,160
I'm really happy I did it.
101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,720
Because I was really pleased.
102
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,040
And if you read the reviews on the book,
103
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,000
they pretty much say the same thing.
104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
You know, it says that my message really got across.
105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Yeah, this is a simple version of AI.
106
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,800
I used to fear it.
107
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,480
I didn't know anything about it.
108
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,600
Now's the expert is my family on AI
109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600
and it, you know, the reviews are just so rewarding.
110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,280
That's why I did it and that's what I have right now.
111
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,280
I'm looking on artificial intelligence.
112
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:30,480
Now, I bet you didn't think it'd be a nice,
113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,240
official intelligence author five years ago, did you?
114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,280
No, I didn't.
115
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:36,400
I never envisioned.
116
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,240
You know, everybody kind of thinks that,
117
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
I'd like to write a book.
118
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,480
I'd have friends write books,
119
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,360
but I never really had that ambition until, you know,
120
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,240
I crossed this path.
121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Clients on the one hand,
122
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,440
artificial intelligence,
123
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,840
artificial intelligence out here
124
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,560
and how do I simplify it?
125
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,480
How do I bring it all together?
126
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,840
So now I'm an author.
127
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:02,240
And then I want to come forward.
128
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,240
It's really cool.
129
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
That's incredible.
130
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Yeah, congratulations on that.
131
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,320
That is amazing.
132
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,480
I have to say, especially like 2026 as well, this year as well.
133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,560
So, you know, it's like, is it you're really motoring forward?
134
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,200
So, yeah, congrats.
135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,120
I mean, you know, this is the thing though, isn't it?
136
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,320
You know, AI, we look at it in movies, you know,
137
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,440
obviously Terminator and all that sort of thing,
138
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,040
you know, all sorts of things.
139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,600
So it's seen as the demon.
140
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,680
But nowadays, I think that people are obviously looking at the,
141
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,000
well, we would call the large language models, right?
142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
But we're keeping away from techy stuff here
143
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,040
because your approach makes complex technology
144
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,280
like large language models feel approachable and even fun, right?
145
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,400
So why was it important for you to avoid all this techy jargon
146
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,640
when writing this book?
147
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,040
Well, I'm not a data scientist.
148
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,640
I'm not an engineer.
149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640
The hurdle was to, you know, produce the,
150
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,920
all the technology behind self-driving cars, you know,
151
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,520
things like that.
152
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,840
I'm not at that level.
153
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,600
And in order why even want to understand that level?
154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,720
Do you mention the major chatbots, you know,
155
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,880
chatty PT,
156
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,680
perplexity, chord, and those?
157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,480
AI, as we know it, I mean, it goes back.
158
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200
It goes back to 50s, you know,
159
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,200
but it didn't come to us as consumers until 2022
160
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,880
when open AI developed chatty PT.
161
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,040
So this technology is really in its empathy
162
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,440
that it in terms of, well, you know, how we know and understand it.
163
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,440
And it's really easy to use the, I'll call them chatbots,
164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520
you know, like chatty PT,
165
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,840
it's really easy to use and there's so many different functions
166
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,840
that not only businesses, but basic,
167
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,720
mom and dives and sisters and brothers and students
168
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,240
and aunts and uncles can be using
169
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,480
if they understand the value that it can provide to them.
170
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,080
And that's the fun part of the job.
171
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,560
Bring in that message across.
172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,720
- Nice, true.
173
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,560
And it helps people to be creative, I feel,
174
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,840
as well, funnily enough, because people think that you're not.
175
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,160
I mean, I understand completely what you're saying about the,
176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760
when that first iteration of your book came out
177
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,640
and it was like, somebody else wrote it, a machine wrote it,
178
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120
as far as you can say, it wasn't in your voice, was it?
179
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
So you had to edit it into your voice.
180
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,520
And so, yeah, I mean, wow, the options are so vast.
181
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,920
I mean, I lectured at the University of Brighton down here in England
182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,480
in Southern England and my students, they're all over AI,
183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,480
as you can imagine.
184
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,320
It helps them, right?
185
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,360
This is in journalism.
186
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,640
It helps them, but we always teach them not to rely on it
187
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,920
and to do exactly what you did.
188
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,800
So in other words, you use it as a framework, right?
189
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,800
So once one simple AI tool or habit that you think
190
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,080
every beginner, like a student, should start using today then.
191
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,160
- Well, the first thing I started doing really was,
192
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,160
I said, as a log, a log, I went to chapter 15,
193
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,640
and I said, develop a log for me to,
194
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,640
so I can start putting in expenses, things that I do,
195
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:40,120
I keep the schedule, but this is better,
196
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,040
because I can go and check GPT and I'm thinking,
197
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,040
we might log in and treat for the month of May.
198
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,240
And it'll take a while to think and it'll give me everything
199
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,440
that I put in there.
200
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,760
So that's one easy thing that people can do.
201
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,200
All of these checkbox, all of these AI applications,
202
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,920
they check GPT and the Google Gemini and the FOD.
203
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,080
They all have paid programs, you know?
204
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,160
You can upgrade and pay $20 a month for them.
205
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Most people don't have to do that.
206
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640
They, all they need to do is log in,
207
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
I use a Google account, I use my Gmail account,
208
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:26,680
and I use it for the login to the chat box.
209
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,960
And I have an account set up for each month.
210
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,240
So you don't need to pay.
211
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,440
So my place to people is to pry it out,
212
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,040
don't get a quick paid program or a pro pro,
213
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,960
pro pro pro, I try saying that many times, real fast.
214
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,320
But, yeah, it's good to free version, it's tested out.
215
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,480
Ask a thing this.
216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Yeah.
217
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Well, one of the most popular examples initially was
218
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,760
how to create a trip, I tend to write.
219
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,360
You can use a prevent, you know?
220
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,720
I am in Boyd Flames, Maryland,
221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,080
and I want to take a trip to kind of see
222
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,040
what sites should I be visiting?
223
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,640
What are those popular sites?
224
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,480
I'm writing for sponsored.
225
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,200
And then he asks you for more detailed information.
226
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Well, can you give me, you know, a list of hotels in the area?
227
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Think, think, think, think, you'll get a list of hotels in the area.
228
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Yeah, so it's simple stuff that anybody can use.
229
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,480
Let's say, you know, you're a,
230
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:45,320
you're a 40 year old man,
231
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,480
and you have been tasked by the family to create a,
232
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:55,560
your annual family gets together.
233
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,320
We think that he could use it for that.
234
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,120
He just plug in and ask the information about it,
235
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,720
and it'll come back to you with questions as well.
236
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Okay, well, you know, how many people are we talking about?
237
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,640
You know, things like that, and you engage with it,
238
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,040
and you iterate with it, and you refine your questions with it,
239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,880
and it'll, it'll help you do that.
240
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920
So there's some simple things.
241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,920
I mean, if you're a, if you're a, if you're a coach for your kids,
242
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,560
and I want to sudden that you're, you know,
243
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:32,560
you're going to develop a league and a schedule and rules and things like that.
244
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:36,360
Yeah, these chat pots will do it for you,
245
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,440
and I'm supposed to worry for free.
246
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480
Now, there might be things in there that you don't like,
247
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,000
and then you respond and you tell them that you don't like this for this reason.
248
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,720
But how about putting this in there, this rule,
249
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,080
or something, and it'll say, thank you very much,
250
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,440
and thanks, thanks.
251
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,760
Now, one of the things you want, you really want to do, too,
252
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
because these, these large language models
253
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,360
want something that's called machine learning,
254
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,320
and you don't need to know anything about that.
255
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Yeah, let the data scientists worry about machine learning.
256
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,000
But one of those things you want to do,
257
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,200
if it gives you a good response, you'll, you'll see a thumbs up or thumbs down.
258
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,440
You know, if it's a good response, click the thumbs up,
259
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:21,440
because that tells the machine that tells the chat pot,
260
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,960
this is a good response.
261
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,160
And I'll remember the good responses,
262
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,640
because they're all built on data,
263
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,680
thousands and thousands and millions and millions of data points,
264
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,160
and you keep providing thumbs up,
265
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,840
you're telling that's a good data point, so let's say this thing.
266
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,560
You teach them machines, and they show us from you as well.
267
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:47,040
Yeah, I really, it's amazing.
268
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,800
I mean, you know, without getting too geeky,
269
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800
I'm sorry, I have to geek out a little bit.
270
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080
You know, it's incredible, isn't it,
271
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,440
how the amount of power that this new industry kind of thing,
272
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,640
new industry uses?
273
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,360
You know, we've had issues over here in the UK,
274
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,120
where I think, you know, like OpenAI and all these guys
275
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,600
have decided not to come to various parts of the UK
276
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,160
and put their silver farms,
277
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,080
because we can't provide enough electricity to run those things.
278
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920
I mean, it's amazing, isn't it?
279
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,280
It really is.
280
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Yeah, we have those issues in the United States as well.
281
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,880
But then, you know, the saving grace of it is,
282
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,920
this one, we gave a lot of jobs.
283
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,360
If in fact, you can build the infrastructure behind it,
284
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:42,160
and put in the data center, you know,
285
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,320
anyone in the country is not a great new jobs,
286
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,120
new high-tech paying jobs, so good paying jobs.
287
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Oh, well, exactly.
288
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
I mean, one of the issues that I have, you know,
289
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,240
with my students is that they worried,
290
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,880
because they think that AI is going to take over the jobs
291
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:00,840
that they would have had, right?
292
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,040
The graduate jobs that they would have gone for
293
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,960
straight out of university or college.
294
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,880
And, you know, you can kind of see that happening already,
295
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,480
can't you, you know, these sort of simple kind of jobs are being taken.
296
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,480
But do you think that people should be afraid of AI?
297
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,960
Or should they learn how to work alongside it?
298
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,640
More so.
299
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:27,200
One more company here now are putting AI in the job description.
300
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000
You have to know something about it.
301
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,720
And you could do that by getting start vacations,
302
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,600
but the best way to do it is, you know,
303
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,080
you try to examine and expand the figure out
304
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,080
what exactly they're asking for.
305
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:55,560
So you examine the question and by examining the question hard enough,
306
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,120
you can try to figure out what the problem is.
307
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,920
Because they're trying to solve a problem.
308
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:00,840
So what's in business?
309
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,360
Our business is going to be different.
310
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Every industry is going to be a little bit different
311
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,520
to try to solve the problem.
312
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Now, I'm article that I just posted.
313
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:18,480
I put a, you know, what if your employer requires you to know AI?
314
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,400
You know, you need to develop a framework with your employer.
315
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,400
You need to sit down.
316
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,920
Chris, I've worked for you.
317
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Okay, what are the parameters?
318
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,240
How can I use this?
319
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,600
Do you have something set up?
320
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Which shouldn't I ask, which shouldn't I incorporate?
321
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,480
So there are parameters.
322
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,880
And then I put together a checklist as well.
323
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960
You know, these are things to go over with your employer.
324
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,320
So that's already happening.
325
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,040
So they're starting to use AI,
326
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840
in US companies, in industries.
327
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:57,320
I wouldn't have a fear at all about losing a job.
328
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,600
You know, the software industry, they need humans.
329
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,600
They don't want humans.
330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,000
But then in the more technical industries,
331
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,800
in the more creative industries, like, you know,
332
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,200
I'm most familiar with building a website,
333
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,920
building websites to find, you know, how do I use AI there?
334
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,920
How do I use AI for content?
335
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,320
And, you know, how do I structure it?
336
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,040
The established parameters and help them produce content
337
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,040
on their sites?
338
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,880
I know in my business how to use AI,
339
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,680
what people need to figure out is how, in their future jobs,
340
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,760
they can start using AI.
341
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,880
And the best way to do it is just to start practicing.
342
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,960
Start practicing.
343
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,840
You can't use it right now because, you know, AI
344
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520
isn't necessarily going to replace your job,
345
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,040
but, you know, your employer's like,
346
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240
"I want to hire somebody else who can do AI
347
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,880
just a little bit better than you."
348
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,880
So, in order to stay competitive, learn it,
349
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,120
start practicing.
350
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,520
Practice, practice, practice.
351
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,640
And you can start figuring out certain things in live-duly
352
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,720
that will help you stay ahead of competition at work.
353
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,880
You know, I mean, if you see a problem at work,
354
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,760
see if you could solve that problem.
355
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,720
When I was in the military, okay.
356
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,040
I was a young second.
357
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,000
We've then signed my first base.
358
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,360
There was England, there was a first base,
359
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,360
and I was always the AI, it's not there anymore,
360
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,320
it's a part of the buildings.
361
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,320
But a colonel gave a lecture to all incoming personnel.
362
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:44,920
And he said two things that I'll never ever forget.
363
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,720
And I used them, you know, they were in-brained in me.
364
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,920
So I hadn't made a major impact.
365
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,120
And one of the things he said was,
366
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,280
don't bring bring your problems.
367
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Bring your solutions to the problem.
368
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,960
You could use AI to figure out a problem at the job,
369
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,800
you know, some of that problem by using AI.
370
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,800
And, you know, be the smart guy in your division
371
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,720
or branch or whatever, that the boss will come to you
372
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,600
and ask you to do certain things.
373
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,720
It's always great when a boss superior comes to answer,
374
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,280
hey Rick, I, Colonel, Colonel said,
375
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,560
you know, I can come talk to you about this.
376
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,560
I know you don't work for him,
377
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,240
but he said you get things done.
378
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,880
Can you help me with this?
379
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,880
The other thing I'll always remember is, you know,
380
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,040
work your bosses agenda.
381
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,800
And that's stuck with me too.
382
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,480
So whoever your boss is, know what they need
383
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,760
and work with them and trust me.
384
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,480
If you practice, practice, practice AI now,
385
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240
you will figure out a way to use AI
386
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,520
to help solve your boss's problem.
387
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,480
That's my two cents.
388
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,480
(laughs)
389
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,280
That's all I can do to be a Chris.
390
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,760
No, that's perfect.
391
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Yeah, the world had an honor,
392
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,000
so it came up with a report a couple of years ago.
393
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,120
And they said, yeah, jobs are gonna go away.
394
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:28,800
Know that about, but by the year 2025, 2027,
395
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,720
it's gonna be a net increase in job with AI.
396
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,880
So I would just advise anybody,
397
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,680
I wouldn't worry about it.
398
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,080
I wouldn't be scared.
399
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,080
I wouldn't stay away from it
400
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,120
because I feared it, I'd get involved
401
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:45,320
and I'd start learning it.
402
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,200
To my advantage.
403
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,400
I think it's not hard.
404
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400
I mean, you could spend a half an hour a day doing it.
405
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,240
Well, exactly.
406
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,400
I mean, that's the thing, isn't it?
407
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,600
I think, you know, I remember a while ago
408
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,000
when you used to be when you were going for a new job
409
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,720
or what for a new employer and everything else
410
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,720
that they would insist that you had Microsoft experience
411
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,120
so that you could write a word processor
412
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,680
or you knew how to use a bit of Excel
413
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,320
or something like that, right?
414
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,640
And at the time, people thought, oh my gosh,
415
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,000
it's the same thing.
416
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
People used to think, oh, we can't do this,
417
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,080
I can't do that.
418
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:24,920
I don't wanna change.
419
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,840
Why, you know, I'm good with a calculator,
420
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,440
I'm good with this, I'm good with that.
421
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,240
Why do I need to use a computer?
422
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,600
And then, you know, they were scared for their jobs also,
423
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,880
weren't they at that time?
424
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,800
But, you know, yes, that's change.
425
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,960
But why, yeah.
426
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,800
Right.
427
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,400
And the people asked you that you're running along.
428
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Exactly.
429
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,120
Exactly.
430
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320
There's a lot of apprehension to computers when they came out.
431
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,480
There was a lot of apprehension to cranes when they came out.
432
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,080
People were saying, I can't write that
433
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,200
'cause my stomach all fall apart at 30 miles an hour.
434
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,120
And no, it all comes as worries about technology
435
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,240
and how people doing the stuff.
436
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,200
We go through this, we've gone through this before.
437
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,440
Off to the cars, why?
438
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,080
I don't wanna give up my horse.
439
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,240
Exactly.
440
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,320
You have to go on the industry.
441
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,320
So, how am I going to have it?
442
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,160
Yeah.
443
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,000
Yeah.
444
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,200
And all these things became part of our lives.
445
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,320
We just accepted them, got you right.
446
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,600
So, with artificial intelligence,
447
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,760
it's pretty much the same thing.
448
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,120
It's already here.
449
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:37,120
You were already using it, whether you know it or not.
450
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:42,200
If you have a smartphone, your smartphone is full with AI.
451
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,960
From your camera to your apps, you know,
452
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,200
it's already here.
453
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280
You have to learn about it and make it--
454
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,960
And even the predictive text, right?
455
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,120
When you--
456
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:58,360
Yeah.
457
00:22:58,360 --> 00:22:59,760
Oh, amazing.
458
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,600
Yeah.
459
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,440
Yeah.
460
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,600
Yeah.
461
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,440
So, exactly.
462
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,640
In the old days, what was it?
463
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,040
There was a software, wasn't it,
464
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,680
that people like lawyers or accountants or whatever
465
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,120
used to put on their computers, they could dictate.
466
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,280
And I think that used to be quite expensive.
467
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,800
But now, well, they don't really need to do that, do they?
468
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,560
They can just talk to any one of these,
469
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,040
AI's, and get the same job done, right?
470
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,680
Right, right.
471
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,680
You know, I don't use the voice AI, you know,
472
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,320
is much, but you can do it, just look you're saying.
473
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,960
And it's a lot easier on your phone,
474
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,440
because all these apps, you all have a phone word.
475
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,600
And, you know, it's easier just to cut that speaker button
476
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,440
and ask.
477
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,840
But I find it writing the prompt to me is more effective
478
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,360
than speaking the prompt, because I'm--
479
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:54,040
I could be more accurate when I'm crazy, but that's just me.
480
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,080
But it's all good.
481
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,680
And of course, you know, it's really amazing.
482
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,680
So you teach?
483
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,320
Exactly.
484
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,640
I think-- yeah, yeah, yeah, I teach journalism and broadcast
485
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
journalism, which is great stuff.
486
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,240
And of course, we are now this year, certainly,
487
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,720
looking at introducing AI to help with not editing
488
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,840
or anything else, or writing, really,
489
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,320
but to do with design, for instance.
490
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,920
So, you know, Canva, that's one of the things, or Adobe,
491
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,520
have got very much the AI design process that is going on.
492
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,360
So you can create a photograph from nothing, right?
493
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,440
Or, you know, a photograph, an image from nothing.
494
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,960
And so, yeah, that's the kind of thing that we're looking at.
495
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:44,040
And so, you know, obviously, you can do that.
496
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,360
You can do that when--
497
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:46,680
You can do that, if you'd like.
498
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,880
Now, they-- oh, yeah, yeah, you can go to the young man
499
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,440
and say, create an image, and then they'll use nano--
500
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,920
nano-binana.
501
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,480
And it'll kick out your image.
502
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,880
If you'd like it, you download it, if you don't.
503
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:00,720
You iterate.
504
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,360
You come up with something else.
505
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:07,520
So I don't use TAN, but all that much anymore.
506
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,560
I use chatbots.
507
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,640
Don't need to, right?
508
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,440
I'll use--
509
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:10,960
Exactly.
510
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,800
I'll tell you what, that you don't need to.
511
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,320
Yeah, perfect.
512
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,360
Listen, obviously, we're running out of time now, Rick.
513
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:18,560
I said, no, shame, right?
514
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,640
But let's say that you've got a client comes to you
515
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,240
for, you know, at your marketing services and says,
516
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,240
look, I need to get some graphics done.
517
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:34,040
How would you go about explaining to them how to use, as you've just said,
518
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,040
the AI tools to create graphics or create pictures,
519
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,400
or all of that sort of thing?
520
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,280
It's a bit of a case study.
521
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,200
Well, I'm a time when they wanted to--
522
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,280
they wanted to do it on their own, to do it on their own,
523
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,120
using one of the chatbots.
524
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,400
They could play with chatbots, they would take the cat,
525
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,400
because they use Dolly Wree.
526
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,520
That's the name of their image creator.
527
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:07,200
I like Gemini for that, because Gemini uses nano-banana.
528
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,120
And I would tell them, try it, just go in and--
529
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,240
when you go into something like Gemini,
530
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,960
it'll have a little box down there, create picture, or an image, whatever--
531
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,520
you know what it says, but you know, it's the same thing.
532
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,200
So then you just prompt it, and that's a good way to start learning about AI
533
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,440
and how to create a prompt.
534
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,840
Try to be specific as specific as possible.
535
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Another trick you can do is have the chatbot actually write the prompt for you.
536
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Type in.
537
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,960
Write a detail prompt.
538
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,360
This is what I want to explain graphically.
539
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:55,800
I need an image or an infographic that describes such and such, such and such,
540
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,640
and such and such, give me a detail prompt.
541
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,520
And it'll write the prompt for you.
542
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,480
So then you just copy and paste the prompt, put it back in the Gemini,
543
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:12,520
and go use nano-banana to create a poster, an infographic, a plain image.
544
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,480
And let's say you want your logo on the image and they didn't produce it for you.
545
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,880
Well, you just go in the next time and say, put my logo on the left hand corner.
546
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,880
Now, you may have to upload your logo, but they have a little plus sign there,
547
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,880
and all you do is you go to your hard drive on your computer,
548
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,520
and you hit the picture of your--
549
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,880
an image of your logo, and it'll know that's the logo you want
550
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,400
on that image.
551
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,200
So if you don't like the finished product that they deliver,
552
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,000
just update it, just update it in your prompt.
553
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,600
But you could even get them the right to prompt for it.
554
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,720
You know, it's the--
555
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:03,240
And I don't learn how to practice, Chris.
556
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,440
Yeah, exactly, I mean, that's-- yeah.
557
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,280
That's the point, isn't it, right?
558
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,400
So it's-- through practice, you obviously can become very good at using AI
559
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,080
for whatever it is that you need.
560
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,640
I mean, my father's quite elderly, and he's in there as well now.
561
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,480
My mother-in-law, same kind of thing.
562
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,760
You know, they're doing like this.
563
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,000
So anybody can do it from students through to retirees, right?
564
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000
So everyone can absolutely just go ahead and really benefit.
565
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Yeah, exactly.
566
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,080
Well, listen, thank you very much, Rick.
567
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,200
We are out of time.
568
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,080
But I think that this is the beginning of a fascinating subject.
569
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,960
Are you going to be writing a second version of AI for beginners,
570
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,000
de-mystified, do you think?
571
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,240
I haven't been able-- I have all my notes put together,
572
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:57,000
and it's going to be, you know, AI from beginner to practitioner.
573
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,720
And I hope to put all these simple things in.
574
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,880
Hey, if you're a softball coach, you're a vault--
575
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,520
you have a bowling league, you have this, you just--
576
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,440
and put the-- actually put the prompts in,
577
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,880
the help people, you know, get started, and, you know,
578
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,960
continue with my message.
579
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,320
So hopefully--
580
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,200
I will.
581
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,800
Hopefully I'll get that done.
582
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,400
I just have to find a time.
583
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Fantastic.
584
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,720
That's the only thing, isn't it, right?
585
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,440
It's just--
586
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,240
It's just--
587
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,840
Yeah, it's interesting, but, uh,
588
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,640
uh, um, at least I have AI, it helped me, you know?
589
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,040
So, uh, I think I have all the egg up on a lot of other people.
590
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,440
Uh, because I practice--
591
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,480
Practice, practice, practice.
592
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Yeah.
593
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,440
No.
594
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280
Well, it's an interesting thing to do.
595
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,280
I appreciate it. You can have a hobby like that, really, couldn't you?
596
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,040
So, Rick, yeah, thank you very much for joining us today.
597
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,680
Rick Zemara, it's been wonderful talking to you.
598
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,320
You know, you're an award-winning author, don't forget.
599
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:03,160
And listen, listeners and viewers, make sure that you check out AI for beginners, de-mystified.
600
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,080
You know, it does not that often where a book comes out
601
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,080
and wins awards almost immediately.
602
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,080
So, it must be telling you something.
603
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,640
So, check it out on Amazon and, you know, feel free to leave a comment down below,
604
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,400
get involved in the conversation.
605
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,560
And let's hook up and understand how AI can really help us.
606
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,800
It's not going to take too many jobs.
607
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,200
It will replace or maybe augment them.
608
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:26,920
Who knows?
609
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,840
But let's see what happens, okay?
610
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,120
But in the meantime, I think, Rick, your message probably is,
611
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,000
enjoy it, learn it and just move forward with it.
612
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:35,640
Would I be right?
613
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,760
That's exactly where I cross.
614
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Exactly.
615
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,800
You then, you know it.
616
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,640
You can't have had the part.
617
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,600
Well, I'm going to go into...
618
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,000
There you go.
619
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,280
I should be a coach.
620
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,560
So, there we are.
621
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:57,080
Listen, Rick Zemara, thank you very much for joining me on this edition of "Or the Conversations."
622
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,040
I hope to speak to you again soon with your second book.
623
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,400
In the meantime, have fun, enjoy AI and everybody else.
624
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,840
Also enjoy AI.
625
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Love you to meet you, Rick.
626
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,440
Back of course.
627
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,240
Break to meet you, too.
628
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,280
Okay.
629
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,280
Take care.
