I Just Tried Using AI.  It Was Awesome... and Terrifying

Written by George Blackburne | Fri, Jun 30, 2023

I owe much of my online financial success to a sophisticated marketing software package produced by Hubspot.  

Hubspot allows me to create this blog, to manage my subscribers, to collect new contacts by offering freebies on my website, to write emails, and to do immensely more.  I recommend Hubspot to you highly.

 

 

 

 

Hubspot just introduced AI to their software, and the power of it blew my socks right off.  I'm in Indiana, and my socks are somewhere over California.  The Air Force has just dispatched two F-16's to shoot them down.   Haha!

Watch this.  I am going to type a simple sentence:

China is losing its position as the manufacturer for the world.

Then I am going to highlight it:

China is losing its position as manufacturer for the world.

 

 

 

 

Lastly, I click an icon that looks like the scar on Harry Potter's forehead.  Voila!  I get the following five paragraphs almost instantly (I am displaying only two of them):

China is losing its position as the manufacturer of the world, as other countries have started to emerge as strong competitors in the global manufacturing industry. With advancements in technology and the rise of automation, traditional manufacturing hubs are facing tough competition from countries like India, Vietnam, and Mexico.

These emerging manufacturing powerhouses have embraced innovation, investing heavily in research and development to enhance their production capabilities. As a result, they are now able to offer competitive pricing, superior quality, and efficient supply chain management. This shift in the global manufacturing landscape has put pressure on China to rethink its strategies and adapt to the changing market dynamics.

 

 

Damn, gout.  I can't even drink a glass of wine anymore.

 

 

But I am personally very informal when I write.  I use a lot of slang.  And I start sentences with contractions (and, but, etc.).  My goal is to write to you just as we would shoot the bull over a beer at a bar.

Is AI challenged by this?  Ha!  I merely high-lighted the generated text and clicked the Change Tone drop-down item.  I then chose Witty, and you can see the result.

China is no longer at the top of the manufacturing game, as other countries are stepping up as strong contenders in the global manufacturing industry. With advancements in technology and the rise of automation, traditional manufacturing centers are facing fierce competition from countries like India, Vietnam, and Mexico.

These emerging manufacturing powerhouses have fully embraced innovation, making substantial investments in research and development to enhance their production capabilities. Consequently, they are now able to offer competitive prices, top-notch quality, and efficient supply chain management. This shift in the worldwide manufacturing landscape has forced China to reassess its strategies and adapt to the ever-changing market dynamics.

 

Spot on, girl!

 

 

I find that even the Witty version is still very booooring, so maybe I won't be replaced just yet; but you get my point.  AI is powerful.

Heaven help us if AI ever become self-aware.  [Theme song to Terminator II]
