AI Blog Questions Challenge

just read this one and I thought it is a good time to tell my opinion about

1. How was your first experience with AI models?

I think it was a chat, or something very close to it. It strongly reminded me of the old-school “chat-bots,” just a bit more “intelligent,” if I can even use that word. Looking back, I think I was genuinely impressed at first, but honestly, maybe a little overhyped, too.

2. Do you use AI or are you completely against using it?

I use it. Lately, I’ve been leaning on it mostly for coding—especially when I need to get through some tedious, repetitive work, or when I need someone (or something) to explain a complex problem or concept to me.

AI is pretty good at this… well, right until it isn’t. 😆 Sometimes it starts acting like a person without an opinion of their own, just nodding along and trying to answer with whatever they think you want to hear. Sometimes it comes out with solutions which are total nonsense. Overall, though, I think AI is genuinely helpful and pretty capable in specific scenarios.

3. Do you have any preference among different models, for example Claude vs ChatGPT? If yes, how do you choose?

Honestly, I mostly just use whatever I currently have subscribed. I stuck with OpenAI’s models for quite a while, but nowadays, I find myself using Gemini the most.

4. What aspect of AI models do you like and what do you not like?

Oof, this is a tough one…

What I like: Look, I’ll be honest—I can be a lazy person, and my secret is that I absolutely despise repetitive work. AI is great at taking that off my plate, like generating application CRUDs for me. I’m also a big fan of voice synthesis. Not the music generation stuff, but higher-quality text-to-speech. It sounds more natural now. If I’m feeling too lazy to physically read an ebook I just bought, I can just throw it into ElevenReader and listen to it on the go.

What I don’t like: I can’t stand how tech companies are trying to cram AI into literally everything, marketing it as some miracle cure for all human problems. But look at the flip side—the moment you read their Terms of Service, they explicitly warn you not to use AI for anything important because it’s just a “recreational feature.” It feels like they are straight-up lying to people just to squeeze even more money out of them. That is probably my biggest pet peeve with the current state of AI.

5. How do you feel about AI generated images? Does it annoy you if someone uses them in a blog post?

Some of them actually look really nice. I generate them myself from time to time; for instance, my avatars on various websites are often a blend of AI-generated images and human-made art.

It doesn’t annoy me when someone uses AI pictures in a blog post, but I do appreciate it when people properly label them as AI-generated. Sometimes you just want to see raw human art, not algorithmic content. Also, people definitely shouldn’t take AI-generated stuff and pass it off as their own traditional art.

6. Internet is flooded with AI slop now, full of generated text, images, audio, and videos. How do you filter it from authentic human creation? Do you have a strategy?

To be honest, until a few moments ago, I didn’t even know what the term “slop” meant (English isn’t my native language). Personally, I don’t like throwing all AI content (or whatever else) into one basket. There are some very impressive pieces out there, and some… not so much. But then again, I don’t like all human creations either, and I still don’t call the bad ones “slop.”

I’ve always admired visual art and anime, but my hands are just much more comfortable with a keyboard than a pencil. For me, AI is a technical playground—a way to bring ideas to life that would otherwise just stay locked in my head. I deeply respect the work of real artists and don’t see AI as a replacement for true talent. It’s just a fun feature. I don’t want to sell it, and I don’t want others stealing my generated content either.

When it comes to filtering, there are specific situations where I strictly prefer human creation over AI. If I’m not in the mood to see AI art, my strategy is simple: I hide it. Luckily, most platforms now have decent filters to disable AI content entirely.

7. Are you hopeful for a better future with A.I. or a dystopian one?

I used to be hopeful. At first, I genuinely thought that in a few years, we wouldn’t even need traditional apps anymore. I imagined one central AI connected to all our devices, with each device adapted to its specific owner.

But now? I’m mostly skeptical. Big Tech just wants more and more money. Some companies are already injecting ads or using AI to profile users. On top of that, I feel like AI is actually becoming dumber than it was when I first started interacting with it years ago. And honestly, why would they bother making it genuinely better when they can just make it generate videos of cute kittens, and people will happily pay for it anyway? 🤷‍♀️

Now your turn.
