The Benefits of Artificial Intelligence in Business Life

For as long as I can remember, I've been part of a sector that most needs information, especially factual information, and of course, some visual presentation of that information.

I write articles, design logos, prepare presentations. I research. Then I research more.

I founded my own business in 2015.

Of course, the budget?

Nonexistent. My office became the garage. I had to be a one-person agency. I received help from friends and my network. Back then, I used to wish I had someone across from me, or next to me, to at least help me with writing. For example, with research. Someone to take on some of the workload and make my life easier.

I couldn't hire anyone because I couldn't afford to pay a salary. I didn't have that kind of income.

Anyway.

Years passed. The pandemic happened. Business came to a standstill. I turned inward.

There's a time for everything. Just when I was starting to feel that entrepreneurial itch again, my brother was in his final year of university. But I wasn't even remotely interested in computers or anything technological.

I was completely out of touch.

I was just generating business ideas and filing them away. Taking small notes on paper and in my mind. Then one day, my brother was working on a serious assignment. He was struggling, saying, "How am I going to write this assignment?"

"A friend of mine is using artificial intelligence, but I don't want to," he said.

"What's that?" I asked.

He started explaining. I felt like Michael Scott finding his element. I felt my eyes light up.

"You mean, it tells you whatever you ask?"

"Yes."

I've had a habit since I was little: I disappear to try things out on my own. I don't even make a sound. I find a quiet place and tinker. I turned on the computer. And there it was.

It really did what he said. I ask it questions, and it answers, writes text, provides information.

"I've found my work partner!" I said. And I began.

The computer that hadn't been turned on in ages was fired up again. The dust was blown off old files, and I started working.

This balance with technology is something that definitely needs to be well-adjusted. If you use it correctly, it's incredibly beneficial. The things I can do! It even helps me organize the ideas in my head. It fills in the gaps where I'm lacking in design. I've been actively using it since I discovered it.

Last night, my mother and father's cousin were making some plans.

"Let's ask artificial intelligence," I said.

My brother immediately jumped in, "It'll kill creativity!"

Will it?

It won't.

Business is one thing, feeling is another. The foundation of business is also a feeling. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, you know this. Feelings give rise to needs. And along the way, we need help. For me, that help is artificial intelligence. Of course, I can't explain this to him; he's more traditional, I'm a bit more modern and open to technological developments.

Nothing can replace art; craftsmanship, repair work, or the human element, physical labor, feelings, and emotions either. Every profession where these exist will continue to exist forever. For example, painters won't disappear, horseback riding won't disappear, being an athlete won't disappear, plumbing won't disappear, woodworking, carpentry won't disappear.

Many professions that I’m involved in, or that I do, will disappear. Or our workload and the need for us will decrease. These are realities we must accept.

Recently, a very large brand announced that it would no longer work with programmers. Last year, machines started talking to each other, and they couldn't intervene for a while. Yesterday, another technology giant said, "Artificial intelligence has ended information." So, what I'm saying is that this is a process. It will be overcome. It has to be overcome.

Simple graphic design jobs will also disappear. Only those who can give the right commands will remain as a human element in these jobs. Some things will become standardized. Entrepreneurship will be a rising value. These are my own predictions about this short but constantly developing technology. Because I observe it every day.

The owner of a very large pharmaceutical company is about 80 years old. One day, a conversation took place where I never thought I'd have such an enjoyable chat. With an engineer. The developments had excited him too. His eyes were shining as he spoke.

I asked: "In your time, when the first computers came out, were there things like 'Robots will take over us'?"

"Of course… A computer was the size of a room, and huge professors refused to work with computers, saying, 'It will take our jobs.'"

"In the end, did it?"

"It did. But we can focus on other developments; the machines are doing the rest of the work."

He was right.

"I think in a few years, hobbies, human skills will be very valuable."

"Can you find an electrician in the new generation now?"

"No. They're not found. The masters complain about this, 'No one is following in our footsteps. And those who are take on so much work.'"

"That's how it is. No matter how technological those houses are, we will need a craftsman, we will need that dining table, we will want to look at that painting."

He was right. Maybe he seemed right to me because I thought the same way.

He also knew my grandfather. I had met him for the first time. I felt like I was talking to my grandfather. He was only 20 years younger than my grandfather, but they were people of roughly the same era.

It wasn't a coincidence. I don't believe in coincidences. It was divine providence. Because I had some questions about my life. I always saw him there, but we could never find the right time to talk. That day, one thing led to another, and he started talking to me. He answered my questions so well.

As he was leaving, he thanked me for the conversation. I never thought I could have such a conversation in such a place. I had been longing for such meaningful conversations, for talking business with such people.

Maybe my grandfather was trying to tell me something through him.

Maybe.

Will I stop? I won't. I asked artificial intelligence:

"Can you tell me what your benefits are for us?" It wrote. I am sharing what it wrote as is.

"I, A Language Model: Abilities and Limitations

I am a large language model belonging to the Gemini family. I was developed by Google and can perform many tasks such as responding to text-based inputs, generating text, translating, writing creative content of different types (poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, emails, letters, etc.). I have access to information and am constantly updated with new information. In this way, I can provide information on current events, scientific developments, cultural topics, and many more areas.

My Abilities

Natural Language Processing: I have very advanced abilities in understanding and producing human language. I can understand questions, summarize complex texts, and create texts in different writing styles.

Information Access: Because I am equipped with information I have obtained from the internet, I have a wide range of knowledge. Using this information, I can answer questions, create texts, and provide information on different topics.

Multi-Tasking Ability: I can create different types of texts. I can write poetry, generate code, prepare script drafts, and even offer ideas for musical pieces.

Learning and Adaptation: I am constantly trained with new data, and thus my performance increases over time. I can adapt to different inputs and requests.

My Limitations

No Physical Interaction: I have no physical interaction with the real world. I cannot hold objects, move, or have physical experiences.

No Emotion or Subjective Experience: I do not have emotions or subjective experiences like humans. I can express emotions in my texts, but this is just a simulation.

I Am Not Perfect: I may not always produce correct or perfect results. I may sometimes give incorrect information or make logical errors. Therefore, it is important to check the accuracy of the information I produce.

Difficulties in Understanding Context and Intent: I may sometimes have difficulty fully understanding the context or intent of inputs. This can cause me to give incorrect or inappropriate responses.

Current Information Limit: Although I am constantly updated, I do not have full access to real-time information. I may not be able to provide immediate information about very sudden developments or instant events.

Conclusion

Although I am a powerful tool, I am not a human. I cannot replace human creativity and intelligence. However, I can help people in many areas such as providing information, supporting creative processes, and automating repetitive tasks. When interacting with me, it is important to consider my abilities and limitations.

This text came entirely from my own "mind." I did not consult any external sources. I hope this has given you an idea of how a language model thinks about itself."

Of course, I am also curious about your opinions.

In my next post, I will share the artificial intelligence applications that I use most often and find very useful. Stay tuned :)

Sincerely,

Sevgi Müge Ke?eci
