Are YOU using AI as YOUR personal Ideas-Generating Machine?

'Please get into AI now, if you haven't yet. Learn, explore, play with it.. so that you can stay ahead of the game that is unfolding before our very eyes, right now.'

Welcome to Issue 67 of 1idea

In Issue 66 of 1idea, I made the above plea. I also referred to a quote from Ray Kurzweil's latest video chat with Peter Diamandis in which he was referring to the use of AI in the search for virus / health treatment solutions '..we will simply feed in every possible method. We won't evaluate them.. we'll just feed in all the ideas we have about each of these possibilities into the computer. The computer will evaluate all of the many billions of sequences and provide the results.'

I made the comment: '..with your specialist or general field of interest in mind. Don't just think Health. Think ANYTHING.. from innovation to product development, to any random idea you might have.'

Let's take this idea a bit further as a simple practical exercise for the AI layperson like myself (as opposed to a technical exercise for AI specialists / technicians who do this all day anyway).

First, identify a few AI search engines that you already like working with and ask them all the same question to see the difference in their responses. This is how you learn to get the best out of them. These are some that I use and the actual exercise I have done (do the exercise for yourself as I only provide extracts here):

Go to Phind.com: Prompt it with - Hi phind.. how do you recommend using AI as YOUR personal Ideas-Generating Machine?

• Answer (extract) my personal favorite AI search engine because of its sources list and suggestions features:
• 4. Ask AI for Explanations: When you're learning something new or trying to understand a complex topic, you can use AI tools to ask questions. Unlike humans, AI tools won't judge you for asking questions, and they can provide explanations in various levels of complexity, such as explaining concepts as if you were a college student or using metaphors. This can be a powerful way to learn and understand new information without fear of judgment 3.
• 5. Explore AI for Idea Generation: While not directly mentioned in the sources, AI can also be used for brainstorming and idea generation. By feeding AI with your interests, current projects, or problems you're trying to solve, you can leverage its vast knowledge and creativity to generate new ideas, solve problems, or even come up with innovative solutions.

Go to Perplexity.ai: Prompt it with - Hi perplexity.. how do you recommend using AI as YOUR personal Ideas-Generating Machine?

• Answer (extract): 'Collaboration: Combine the strengths of AI with human creativity by using the AI-generated ideas as inspiration for further brainstorming sessions with colleagues or experts.' And, '..you can leverage AI as your personal ideas-generating machine to spark creativity, explore new opportunities, and drive innovation in your projects or endeavors.'

Go to Groq: Prompt it with - Hi Groq.. how do you recommend using AI as YOUR personal Ideas-Generating Machine?

• Answer (extract): '5. Evaluate and refine the ideas: Not all of the ideas generated by AI will be useful or relevant, so it's important to evaluate each idea carefully and refine it as needed. This might involve combining ideas, modifying them, or discarding them entirely. 6. Implement and test the ideas: Once you've refined your ideas, it's time to implement and test them. This might involve building prototypes, conducting experiments, or running pilot programs.

Go to Gemini: Prompt it with - Hi Gemini.. how do you recommend using AI as YOUR personal Ideas-Generating Machine?

• Answer (extract): 'I can't read your mind, so providing specific prompts and questions is crucial. The more detailed and clear you are, the more focused and useful my responses will be. For example, instead of asking "Give me an idea," try "Generate unique story ideas related to space exploration that involve ethical dilemmas." And, '..the key is to provide clear direction, evaluate critically, and combine AI's suggestions with your own creativity. Happy experimenting!'

Go to Peterbot: Hi Peterbot.. how do you recommend using AI as YOUR personal Ideas-Generating Machine?

• Answer: Short & sweet - 'Ah, the power of AI to exponentially amplify our creative process! To use AI as an Idea-Generating Machine, I feed it a steady diet of the world's biggest problems and ask, "How might we solve this?" Dive into the data, connect disparate fields, and always question the status quo. That's where you’ll find the seeds of breakthrough innovation.'

I closed Issue 66 of 1idea with: '..like Kurzweil (who talked in the video above of reviewing his long-deceased father's writings and 'asking' him questions on his views via AI) , I am busy reviewing all information that I have produced over the last 50 years (yes, I have kept most of it) and am putting it through a few different AI filters for upgrading into current times and experimenting with different writers / writing styles. Already a very interesting, surprising and informative AI exercise. Watch this space!'

Bear in mind that I have produced literally thousands of articles & books over the course of my lifetime that can be upgraded with such an AI exercise.

As an example, I fed in my original version (written over 30 years ago) of Principle 1 in our now DifferenceMakers program into the different AI search engines mentioned above. For me, Groq delivered the best update version.

Here is the prompt (with the original version and writing style):

Hi Groq.. how would you rewrite or upgrade this extract written by myself some 30 years ago:

Know That YOU Are A 'Role Model' To Someone..!

 Yes, it's a frightening thought, isn't it..? To know that someone, somewhere, looks up to you as a role model.

 Someone would just love to have your life... to do what you do... to have what you have... to be just like you.

And... how good a role model do you believe you are to that 'someone'..?

Are you truly proud of who YOU are, of what you do... and of the things you stand for..?

If you are... that is FANTASTIC... because, here is our problem in this world today - we live in a very IMPRESSIONABLE society.

And... everybody... yes, including you, is a 'role model' to someone else... for better or for worse.!

Whether you are a legend, a hero, a champion... a beggar, a thief, a fool... know that YOU are a 'role model' to someone..!

Yes, you had better believe it... everyone has 'someone' looking up to them... someone who wants to emulate what they do.

For me, that is the most frightening, and the most exciting of insights anyone can have about our society.

Frightening because... it explains why supposedly 'intelligent' people can follow depraved despots into the mass genocide of millions of innocent people... why gangs of people form evil crime-syndicates to rip-off honest, law-abiding citizens... why many, many people get sucked into the despair of mind-numbing, financially-crippling drug addiction.

Mostly all follow the lead of someone they mistakenly 'admire' as a 'role model' for their finery, their power, or some other surface-level attraction.

Yet... it is also an EXCITING revelation because... it means that YOU are responsible for the way that some people will act and behave in the world..!

It means that YOU can make a meaningful difference in the world... just by being the person you are.

It means that, right now, YOU are either having a POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE effect (there is no in-between) on the world through your impact on other people.

That is awesome knowledge if you choose to apply yourself to being a QUALITY Role Model. You can literally begin changing the world... one person at a time.

Revised version:

"Embracing Our Role as Role Models: The Power to Inspire Positive Change"

This headline emphasizes the importance of recognizing our role as role models and the impact we have on those around us. It highlights the potential for positive change that comes with taking responsibility for our actions and striving to be the best version of ourselves. The headline also conveys a sense of empowerment, encouraging readers to embrace their role as role models and use it to make a meaningful difference in the world.

Alternative headlines 

1. "The Power of Positive Role Models: Inspiring Change and Making a Difference"

2. "Mindful Role Models: The Impact of Our Choices and Actions on Others"

3. "Leading by Example: Embracing Our Responsibility as Role Models in Today's Society"

Understanding that you serve as a "role model" to someone can be a daunting realization, but it's a crucial one. The reality is that, whether we recognize it or not, we all influence those around us through our actions and choices.

Being a role model can be a positive experience, as there are people who admire you and aspire to be like you. This raises the question: are you content with the example you are setting for others? Are you proud of who you are, what you do, and what you stand for?

In today's impressionable society, it's essential to recognize that everyone has a responsibility to be a role model, whether you're a celebrated figure or an ordinary individual. Your impact on others can be profound, and it's up to you to decide whether that impact will be positive or negative.

This realization can be both alarming and inspiring. On one hand, it highlights the potential harm that can come from following the wrong role models, such as when intelligent people are led astray by corrupt leaders, or when impressionable young people are drawn into criminal organizations. On the other hand, it emphasizes the power that each of us holds to make a difference in the world.

Being a quality role model means being mindful of the impact you have on those around you. It means striving to be the best version of yourself and leading by example. By doing so, you can create a positive ripple effect, inspiring those around you to be their best selves and make a difference in the world.

In conclusion, the knowledge that you are a role model can be both intimidating and empowering. It's a reminder that our actions and choices have a far-reaching impact, and it's up to us to make a positive difference in the world. By embracing our role as role models, we can inspire those around us and create a better future for all.
