Bringing Creativity to Life: Exploring the World of Generative AI

 Imagine a world where artificial intelligence can not only understand and respond to information, but also generate entirely new content, pushing the boundaries of creativity. This is the exciting realm of generative AI (Generative Artificial Intelligence), and it's rapidly transforming diverse fields across the digital landscape.

So, what exactly is Gen AI? In simple terms, it refers to a type of AI that uses machine learning algorithms to learn patterns and relationships within existing data. This data can be anything from text and images to audio and video. Once trained, these algorithms can then use their knowledge to generate entirely new content, mimicking and even surpassing the quality of human-produced materials.

Here are some fascinating ways generative AI is being used today:

  • Fuelling Creative Content: Writers can use AI tools to generate story ideas, brainstorm outlines, or even craft unique dialogue. Artists can utilize AI algorithms to create new music styles, generate stunning visuals, or design innovative products.
  • Revolutionizing Marketing: From personalized marketing campaigns to generating product descriptions, AI can help businesses craft compelling content that resonates with specific audiences.
  • Transforming Scientific Discovery: Scientists can leverage AI to generate new molecule structures for drug discovery, predict protein folding, or even translate complex scientific papers.
  • Simplifying Daily Tasks: From automatically generating code snippets for software developers to creating realistic voiceovers for presentations, AI is making everyday tasks more efficient and streamlined.

However, as with any powerful technology, there are important considerations and ethical questions surrounding Gen AI. Here are some points to ponder:

  • Bias and Fairness: AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on. Ensuring data used for training is diverse and unbiased is crucial to prevent AI from perpetuating existing societal inequalities.
  • Copyright and Ownership: With AI generating creative content, questions arise about authorship and ownership of the generated material. Clear guidelines and regulations are needed to address these concerns.
  • The Future of Work: While AI automates tasks, it's crucial to consider the impact on human jobs. Focusing on upskilling and retraining workforces becomes extremely important alongside the advancement of AI.

Generative AI is still in its early stages, but its potential to revolutionize various industries and unleash human creativity is undeniable. As we move forward, it’s essential to embrace this technology responsibly and ethically, ensuring it benefits humanity rather than posing unintended consequences.

My Latest project using Gen AI

So recently parkrun removed all their stats and as a keen running who is trying to work their way up the top 100 of their local parkrun I wanted to get some of these stats back and have a bit of "fun" at the same time. So here is a little "ETL" process that I developed with the help of Gen AI.  The steps of my ETL:  Copy and paste data into Google Sheets template where an AI produced formula extracts URLS from the text and puts them into a new field. This effectively allows me to extract the parkrun athlete id, the primary key, and use it in my analysis. I also have a column to autofill the data I am processing.  Use an Gen AI generated Google Apps script to process it into a processed sheet, this allows me to build up a backlog of events (I had over 500 to process).  This is then queried using a Gen AI Google sheets query to extract key information and columns / format times etc. I then ingest the fully processed sheet into Keboola directly from Google Sheets. ...

Zapier

As much as I have enjoyed using Keboola there are some connections that it doesn't have or that just haven't worked for one reason or another. I actually came across Zapier as a solution for bringing in e-mails from parkrun to load my results every week. Honestly I have not found it to be as robust as Keboola but that might just be me archiving my e-mails before it completes it 15 minute poll.  The second use case I am working on is the pulling in Strava data, for a fitness dashboard the fact it has a built in connector for Strava is great, though I am worried given the activities I do that I might reach the limit.  I won't go into details on how to set things up but you can setup 5 Zaps that can run for a combined 100 runs during a month for free.  In my data platform / solution I am using Zaps to load harder to get / automate data. It doesn't add much from a technical point of view as it is just signing into a few account to get the data into Google Sheets for downstr...
