What should you talk about with AI?
It’s understandable if you’re sceptical about forming closer relationships with artificial intelligence. At first glance, it might seem really strange.
However, with a little caution, but also an openness to ‘technological innovations’, we can find in AI a patient companion who will not only help us in our daily lives, but will also act as a kind of friend.
The following may be key:
- Overcoming the fear of using artificial intelligence is undoubtedly the first step toward success. The fear of “clicking the wrong button” or not understanding how chatbots work is understandable. However, it’s reassuring to know that most of them operate on very similar principles, which are often highly intuitive. Acquiring basic skills and understanding the fundamentals is often the first step toward fully leveraging the benefits of AI.
- Overcoming Shyness: AI is just a very advanced encyclopedia that can hold a conversation. There are no stupid questions or commands that are too simple—this device is designed to make your life easier, just like a washing machine or a cell phone, which were once novelties too.
- Believe in Your Own Abilities: Maybe you think, “I won’t learn anything new anymore.” Don’t worry! Using AI today is like having a conversation with a neighbor who can answer your burning questions or help with everyday tasks. Regular practice in “striking up a conversation” with chatbots will convince you that this is not a skill limited by age.
Artificial intelligence can become our friend, assistant, confidant, and even a partner for games and fun. What we discuss with AI stays private. We can ask about trivial, funny, or difficult things without feeling self-conscious. We’ll also never be judged for the things we ask or write.
What can we ask artificial intelligence to do?
- Daily reminders, such as taking medication
- Help with meal planning
- Checking the weather forecast
- Help with creating a special diet
- Help with writing official letters
- Checking public transportation schedules
- Translating text from a foreign language
