Got a moment?
AI is everywhere these days, and whether you find it exciting, confusing, or even a little concerning, I want to hear your thoughts. No question is too simple or too complex — I'm here to help make sense of it all.
To that end, I've set up an anonymous way for you to share your thoughts, questions, or concerns about AI and how it's affecting your life. Maybe you're exploring AI tools at work, wondering about its impact on your life now that you are retired, or just trying to understand what all the buzz is about. Or perhaps you're simply observing from the sidelines, trying to make sense of it all.
Your questions will shape my monthly Ask Tom posts, and chances are, if you're wondering about something, others are too. Feel free to submit anonymously, or include your name and email if you'd like a direct response (though I can't guarantee individual replies).
Ready to share? Just click here to submit your questions or thoughts.
Remember, sometimes the "simple" questions lead to the most interesting discussions.
Even if I can't answer your question it might just be what I needed to learn something new or in some strange round about way, lead to another great post.
So I want to hear from you.
To kick things off, here are some questions I commonly hear that might spark your own thinking:
I work in a creative industry, will AI for sure take over my job? Will all art in the future be AI art?
I am being forced to use generative AI tools like CoPilot at work. Actually, I think the whole MS Office Suite is stuffed with gen AI “features.” I don’t really know how to utilize this for productivity at work or what that even means. Where do I start?
What are some of the ecological impacts of using something like ChatGPT? Is it worse for the environment than other tools? I’ve heard some are better but I don’t really understand the difference or how to make a more ethical decision.
Is all the data in an LLM just…stolen? I want to use LLMs for creative stuff like brainstorming on a project, but I kind of feel like I’m complicit in something I’m not sure if I feel good about.
I am a high school student and I really like to write my own essays 100% on my own. I worked all semester on a big project, and then my teacher ran it through the school’s AI detector software and it flagged it for being written by AI. It wasn’t and I don’t know what to do. How do I demonstrate that I wrote it or avoid this in the future?
