How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the World

Over the past few decades, technology has been developing like crazy before our eyes, and one of the things that has everyone either captivated or even a bit scared is artificial intelligence.

Now, for those who don't know what that is, artificial intelligence is one of the many branches of computer science. It is used to build intelligent computers capable of performing tasks that would typically require human intelligence; that is, it is a simulation of human intelligence, and these machines are programmed to think and act like humans. Speech recognition, decision-making, and visual perception are some features that an 'AI' would possess.

The main goal of artificial intelligence has always been for these machines to be able to learn, reason, and perceive as human beings without any human help.

These days, AI is more common than one may think, as it is being used worldwide across multiple industries, including health care and finance. Intelligent assistants like Alexa and Siri, self-driving cars, conversational bots, email spam filters, and Netflix's recommendations are some examples of artificial intelligence, so it would be safe to say that one may contact an AI daily.

Learn Spanish using AI

There are multiple AI-powered language learning platforms or apps that allow people to work and learn at their own pace, focusing on the topics they have the most trouble with, engaging them with different activities, and appealing to their interests which encourages them to keep learning, and taking into account factors like cultural background.

AI language learning platforms can point out errors and suggest different ways to avoid making them in the future in real-time. After working hard on an important test, waiting for what may be weeks for the results can be intense. After that time, it's harder to remember how or why you made inevitable mistakes, but this type of technology provides instant feedback.

AI allows learners to study from any place in the world, at their own pace, setting their own goals and following a personalized study program that adjusts to their necessities and availability.

Nevertheless, don't forget that the best way ever to learn a new language is through hands-on experiences, like staying in a Spanish speaking country for some time to learn not only about its language but about its culture and history too, and what better place to learn Spanish in Madrid, Spain's capital city?

Traditional learning should never be replaced by online learning or artificial intelligence; as previously stated, it is a tool, not a replacement, and students benefit from taking face-to-face classes as much as they do when they incorporate AI language learning platforms into their ways of studying.

So I encourage you to introduce a language learning app to your Spanish lessons Madrid to solidify each new topic you learn. It takes very little time and is reasonably practical because you only need to have your phone on you to use it.

GPT-3: One of the latest natural-language systems has learned more than how to code

Created by OpenAI, GPT-3, which stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3, is a tool that uses deep learning to generate content with a human-like language structure, and it's the third release of the GPT-n series.

This system that spent months in the making learned how to produce new natural language on its own by analyzing thousands of digital books, Wikipedia and social media, and the internet as a whole. By now, this system can generate tweets, email summaries, answer trivia questions, and translate languages, among other things.

Some people think artificial intelligence is here to replace humans, take our jobs, and eliminate us, but that couldn't be far from the truth. This tool gives content creators the possibility of not only implementing better content strategies and improving the quality of the content being created.

How can GPT-3 help create better content?

This technology capable of generating a wide range of content around a given topic allows creators to save a lot of valuable time and resources that are usually spent on researching the said topic before even thinking of writing an article about it. Just like in every other job, some tools help humans be more efficient, and GPT-3 is the tool content creators need to start using.

Like any other artificial intelligence, this system is far from being perfect, therefore, far from being able to replace humans. But even though you will have to spend some time curating, polishing, and overall just making the content GPT-3 has just created more human-like, can you imagine how much time you would save by using this tool to generate only the bare bones of your text?

Another thing the AI can benefit from is what we call "writer's block". It is known that this creative stall is not a result of commitment problems or the lack of writing skills, but it is often the result of the amount of content we are expected to put together in a minimal amount of time. Usually, starting is the hardest part of writing an article, no matter how long. So, why don't you try giving GPT-3 a title or main topic and look at all the options it offers? I assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised and find it helpful.

Again, one of the most significant advantages this technology has is the amount of time you can save by using it when doing research since GPT-3 can collect information about what we're writing. The most important thing if you use this feature is making sure the topic you're giving is as clear and specific as possible.
