The AI awareness problem

This week, I want to put emphasis on the way I think about AI.

• My mental shift to take advantage of AI

• My framework to take advantage of AI

And as always, at the bottom, you have a selection of the news of the week to stay updated and spark your curiosity, as well as cool tools and lessons that can enhance your life. This week is heavy!

That’s damn right!

57% of US adults are familiar with ChatGPT, though only 18% have actually used it

In summary, ChatGPT, or what normal people understand as AI, has seen explosive user growth, reaching over 180 million users globally within just a few months of launch. However, awareness and adoption remain uneven, with higher-income and more educated Americans more likely to be familiar with the AI chatbot.

NO BUENO. Everybody should know about it and see the potential behind it.

In the long run, AI could be the tool that helps you reach your dreams.

BUT Only an estimated 14% of people in the world use these tools sporadicly, and the majority of people don't know how to use them.

It blows my mind that we are at the door of a possible AGI (artificial general intelligence) phenomenon in the upcoming future.

BUT still, 40% of people have never heard of ChatGPT.

I would say that from this 40% of people who use it a little mostly use it for fun.

That’s an opportunity right here.

If you have a problem in your life, AI can assist you with it.

The mentality of using AI is:

I have a problem, I fix it with AI.

It sounds stupid, but it's not.

This is the first BIG realisation.

The second BIG realisation is:

We can get help, which ultimately could improve our lives. If you have a problem in your life, AI can assist you with it.

The third BIG realisation is:

It can help you with whatever; your mind is your only limitation. 

The framework

0. Start with an idea, problem detected, or pain point. 

1. What do I need?

2. How can ChatGPT help us in the process?

3. How can I adapt/automate this with GPTs or Agents?

BUT

I don't have time, and thus, no motivation…

This is a normal situation and mindset that all of us humans share.

With the big jump in efficiency and possibilities that AI brings to the table, we can make things easier and more fun, inviting us to do things we otherwise wouldn't. It can help us be more creative and productive.

Remember: now is a time of rethinking your goals and a big opportunity to do the things we always dreamed of.

Next week, we will have our first contact with the concept of GPTs, our specific purpose AI buddy, or the first step in the evolution to AI Agents.

Thanks so much for your time.

See you soon!
