My Thoughts on AI

For the past seven years, I was passively observing the machine learning and deep learning ecosystem. I then actively started investing my attention for two years in AI and LLMs, using them in my workflows; I am completely amazed and grateful to God that I am experiencing such a moment in history. What an amazing time to be alive, to experience humanity entering a new chapter of progress.

I have read about the car revolution, the aviation revolution, the tractor revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the dot-com boom, the computer revolution, the iPhone boom, space voyages, and more—but this time, it’s happening before my very eyes. It feels completely different and exciting.

Of course, there are concerns and uncertainty about the future. I have seen AI agents do in five minutes work that could probably take me hours or days to do. There’s also a sporadic change in the way we work and even interact with technology, from searching on the internet to writing code or notes. This begs the question: What will we do when AI does most automated work? I am also aware of the potential dangers that come with this technology.

However, a part of me is excited (probably because I am an optimistic person). I can’t help but get the feeling that a new adventure unfolds for our species, with the unveiling of multiple opportunities and a better quality of life. So, I approach the future with a clenched fist and no fear, but with complete and utter gratitude to even witness this moment in history. Congratulations to humanity.

“There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.” — Theodore Roosevelt
