We attended an AI workshop in Prague!

Last week, three representatives from Railsformers attended the AI Workshop. It took place on 14th September in Prague and was called Workshop AI - how to think better, create better and be more efficient.

As the name suggests, we learned a lot of useful and, most importantly, practical information that we are able to apply in our work and creativity to be even more efficient.

What is AI?

AI, or artificial intelligence (AI), is a branch of technology that seeks to create systems and machines that can mimic human thinking, learning, and problem-solving abilities autonomously.

Among the biggest advantages of AI are:

  • it formulates texts very well and convincingly, thus greatly facilitating, for example, the work of writing various articles
  • in the context of text generation, AI is able to make logically correct and rational reasoning.

While these advantages sound nice, using AI also carries a lot of disadvantages, such as inconsistency in answers – AI can generate answers that contradict each other. Sometimes it even “hallucinates” and makes up information, but presents it just as convincingly as true information. Therefore, it is advisable to use AI only in areas that we understand and it serves as a tool to help us formulate sentences and longer texts. It is also important to take into account that AI is not human and has no emotions, but should be viewed as an average human who makes mistakes.

Workshop content

In the introduction, we learned about the tools that are the essence of generative text mining:

  • ChatGPT
  • Bing AI
  • Google Bard
  • Claude 2-100k (this tool can also generate longer texts in pdf format)

How to approach AI?

Ideally don’t pretend it doesn’t exist. It’s a technology that’s here to stay with us, so there’s no point in dismissing it. On the contrary, it’s good to recognize its plus points and learn to exploit them. There is no need to worry that AI will replace entire professions, rather it will replace work tasks and thus actually help make work more efficient.

How do AI text generation tools work?

Text generation tools are very simple to use, you just need to know how to “have fun” with them. In a so-called prompt, you ideally always tell the AI who it is, what it does, you can even write down what its strengths are,  and how it should deliver the explanation. After that, you just check the final text and enjoy the “job well done”
