Three workers, one morning, the story of Amnesty International is different

I came to Cleveland, Ohio, for the fiftieth anniversary of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). I expected the corridors to go with talks about artificial intelligence, and they were, but not the way I hoped. During the first two days, the phrase I heard more than my fellow journalists was “we must protect ourselves.” At the session after the session, the consensus that artificial intelligence was a danger, a threat, an coming enemy to replace us.

Then I had breakfast in Betts, the restaurant in a hotel, and gave me one conversation with the waiter another perspective on the artificial intelligence revolution.

When I brought me the bill, I asked Kenestrick, 49, if he used artificial intelligence. He was chasing the fearful speech from the conference, I was expecting him to reject me or launch it in an anti -any step.

“Not really,” he answered with caution, then stopped temporarily. “In fact,” I used it for the first time when we changed the list. I took a photo and carried it to ChatGPT and asked for copying the text and preparing a message for a colleague. He saved me a lot of time. “

While he was relaxing, he called a younger colleague, Jimmy Sargent, 31, and later gave me a younger colleague, David Hamza, 37. “You should talk to these men.” “They use it much more.”

He was right. Soon it became clear that for Hamza and Sarmant, you will be part of their daily lives. They do not see it as a threat.

For Hamza, a waiter in Betts and a motivational speaker for the youth whose association founded HYPE (helps you in producing excellence), ChatgPt has become a Google store effectively.

He told me: “I am using it to build strong and well -organized presentations for my associations with students.” But his use goes beyond his career. He is a plan for his journey, health consultant and personal coach.

He said, “I just used it on my lady’s birthday.” “I said,” I want something comfortable with vegetarian friendly foods. ” When back problems broke out, he turned to Chatbot as a request for help. “I asked for this to give me the specific home exercises and navigation exercises to reduce pressure from a deteriorating disk in my back. I did it.”

Have you succeeded? “Oh yes!” He answered.

Sargent, a former private education teacher, has been used Chatgpt since its launch in late 2022. He has used it to create basic lessons plans, providing him with hours of work that he can then dedicate to customizing the content with each of his individual students’ needs.

He said, “I saved about an hour of time in writing a lesson plan.” I asked him if the matter would feel like cheating. “No, because I was doing the same thing I did. I did it faster than I could.” He rejects the idea that teachers should not use them. “I would like to say, this is nonsense. We spend long hours outside the semester that works on our things. If we can make them faster, the better.”

Like Hamza, Sargent is also a thirsty travel scheme, using Chatgpt to draw a map of complex international holidays. “My brother and I planned a trip to Italy from Milan to Florence to Naples, and mainly showed us a map of taking a train from here to here, gave us good restaurants to go to it, then told us how much it would cost.”

Both men hold a pragmatic view of the future of artificial intelligence. They believe that the jobs will be lost, but it is about individuals to adapt. “If you do not learn, develop and adapt, you will fail, because it will not stop,” Hamza insisted. Sargent agreed, adding that the key is to focus on what makes you human. “I am part of the experience, while artificial intelligence is not part of that experience. Look for a way to distinguish yourself from artificial intelligence and make yourself valuable.”

Kevin, who first presented me to the group, represents a different demographic trip to artificial intelligence. It was born from pure necessity. He recalls, “I was in a crisis time to get this list to the printer,” he recalls. To solve artificial intelligence its problem in seconds.

This amazing and effective reaction around it is not user into a curious transformation. He told me: “Now I am more open to any problem I face. I will ask her now.”

It also made his regret because of his losing in Bitcoin Boom whether Amnesty International could be a tool to help the “little man” get an investment advantage. He said: “I think I am from the generation in which all the fat cats are reaps in Wall Street money, while we young people are subjected to crushing.” “How can we not be the little man anymore?”

Their manager, Cortis Helsar, 56, was also introduced to Chatgpt by his wife about a year ago. It uses it to improve important emails to work, making it shorter and more professional. He is not afraid of this, and sees it as a tool that can be used for good or sick, just like a car. He is not worried about his job. He said, “You have to be in the building.” “Kissing children, shaking hands, this type of things.”

I was surprised. In the restaurant, Amnesty International was not a terrifying enemy. He was a useful assistant, if he was incomplete. The younger employees had fully embraced it, while the older generation was more cautious but was still open, as it merged into their lives in their pace. They see the current panic as a movie they have seen before, smarter concerns that accompanied the climb of the personal computer.

The contradiction with my colleagues at the press conference was blatant. Perhaps those who have been built on the creation and control of information that artificial intelligence represents an existential threat, while those in the service of people see it as another tool to accomplish the task. I realized that the true artificial intelligence revolution was not taking place in the headlines or conference halls with panic. It was happening quietly, in conversations like this, one practical problem at one time.
