Our episode today is on AI, focused on how the senior community can best take advantage of it. The good news is that AI is here and available to everybody. The better news is that AI is improving daily. Thus, by the time you listen to this episode, there have been more improvements in how AI responds to questions, prompts, and user-input challenges.

Our episode is an interview with an AI Language Model.

Although my preference is to communicate via keyboard text, I made a concession and figured out how to have a verbal conversation and record it.

When it comes to how you personally use AI, my advice is to trust the response for simple questions. But for more complex questions, question the response and validate it against multiple websites. While AI continues to improve, there are times when it needs to be supervised or corrected.

It is a myth that AI is correct 100 percent of the time. But compared to three years ago, the mistakes are getting reduced daily.

I recently spent over 14 months working with multiple top 10 technology companies on their AI initiatives. The experience provided a deep understanding of how AI works, what can be trusted, and what needs to be questioned. From the day the project started to the day it ended, there was a substantial amount of improvement in its accuracy. 

There are plenty of resources available to guide you in AI's use. But the greatest guide in using AI is the AI model itself. Ask it and the program will help you. And that's pretty cool.
