A change in productivity - Thoughts about new AI technology

 


Nowadays, AI is speeding up everything. This post is entirely human, but that can’t be said of others across the web. This forced me to face a somewhat moral dilemma: as time has become more precious and other priorities have overtaken my writing, what if I was able to have a partial assist with AI while still inserting my evergreen content and human experiences?

True, this is a quandary faced by scholars the world over already, as AI is becoming increasingly difficult to detect. However, as the technological landscape evolves, should we be held back by our human limits, or should we learn to work alongside AI? As AI begins to operate and translate all manner of operational functions, we as humans  must also operate as the watchers, the guard rails, the gatekeepers, without allowing AI or Chat AI to operate in any singular fashion. 

This wasn’t the design of AI, as Skynet or Legion from the Terminator franchise has warned us all along. AI isn’t supposed to be sentient, and while that is a dangerous line that may soon be crossed, our language modeled AI still gives us the tools to learn, to collaborate, and to assist in our mostly human experience. 

This is why, going forward, my articles and posts on my 4 websites may or may not contain a partial AI assist. Expository paragraphs may be cherry-picked, edited, and re-arranged, while I maintain that human level of personal opinion, pictures of places I’ve visited, and conversations I’ve made with other humans who shared with me in these experiences. Expository, research-based writing can be done by anybody, even AI, but since all of my websites require that vital part of human connection, it can never truly feel authentic without my personal touches. 

Some, if not all of my websites will include this disclaimer in their respective About sections if this were to become the case in order to maintain the utmost integrity and credibility. AI is not going anywhere. The best practice is to learn to live with it, using it as a tool rather than a crutch, and keeping it separate from what we all as a society seek: a human connection. 

Cheers to an uncertain future 🥂

My soft relaunch of my online music magazine AidriftSignals

AirdriftSignals Online Music Magazine Soft Relaunch I’ve been preparing a sort of soft relaunch of my online music magazine AirdriftSignals Music Magazine with the release of my 50th Anniversary Analysis and Review of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of The Moon . I learned recently that former member Roger Waters plans to release a remake of this legendary album, titled The Dark Side of The Moon Redux, so I felt that there couldn’t be a more perfect time to do a really in-depth deep-dive into one of the greatest albums of all time.  Check it out and drop a like for my Facebook page or share! I plan to do many more deep dives in the coming months and years. Cheers! https://www.airdriftsignals.com/2023/09/pink-floyd-dark-side-of-the-moon-50th-analysis-and-review.html

My self-titled EP from 2015 finally makes its way to streaming services

Image
DJ Dark Flow EP In the summer of 2015, I released my debut EP. Now, 8 years later, I finally put my self-titled EP on streaming services.   The reason it hadn’t come sooner was because I knew a couple of these original mixes were clipping and a bit muddy. Even after attempting to master them at the time, I was pretty novice to music production in a digital audio workspace, commonly referred to as a DAW. After getting the chance to clean up and correct a couple of these tracks, I am proud to finally be sharing them on streaming today. The other reason I never released this EP was for the fact that my original mixes were already starting to audibly improve after just a few months of learning. My first release on streaming services became an instrumental dubstep remix of my good friend B. Dvine’s hip-hop single Freewill Refinement with Young Dirty Bastard, followed by my October two track single SO)L. While my later releases began to improve in audio mixing, I still stand by my self-t...
