Artificial Intelligence (AI), like ChatGPT And OpenAI, Is Awesome! I Prefer Multiple Intelligences MI, Which Is Both Awesome & Wholesome

What “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) is, is an intellectual output served to you on a silver platter! Don’t you love it? You don’t have to think out the solution or resolution or whatever – all you have to do is learn to use “ChatGPT” or “OpenAI” and you have your dream come true in no time at all! That’s the Dream.

Filipino Robert Bagatsing writes about “Artificial Intelligence Disadvantages And Risks“ (gineersnow.com). Mr Bagatsing is Managing Editor and founder of GineersNow.

GineersNow says of itself:

GineersNow is the first and only online global community, news and TV network for engineers, tech innovators and changemakers. GineersNow has an average reach of 20 million engineers per month worldwide, comprising of community members, social media followers and website audience. With over 2 million engagements per month across its website, social media, newsletters, digital magazine and blogs, GineersNow is by far the largest community of engineers.

Above, Mr Bagatsing says his online magazine GineersNow reaches 20,000,000 (million) engineers per month worldwide, what with Artificial Intelligence (AI) “becoming a hot topic in technology and innovation.” He says, “AI refers to the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence and perform tasks such as logical reasoning and decision-making.”

He also says, “One of the major disadvantages of AI is its lack of creativity. Machines cannot think outside the box or develop novel solutions to problems; they rely solely on pre-programmed algorithms, which can lead to inflexible outcomes. Additionally, an algorithm may be biased towards certain information or data sets if it’s not programmed correctly, potentially resulting in unfair decisions being made.

Me, as a teacher and at the same time a self-taught creative writer, editor, and desktop publisher (DTP, the person), instead of AI, I much prefer MI. “Multiple Intelligences” (MI) is the educational theory of Harvard professor Howard Gardner and consists of 9 intelligences (my preferred list, alphabetically arranged):
(“MI” from goodparentingbrighterchildren.com)

1. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”)
2. Existential Intelligence (“Life Smart”)
3. Interpersonal Intelligence (“People Smart”)
4. Intrapersonal Intelligence (“Self Smart”)
5. Mathematical-Logical Intelligence (“Number/Reasoning Smart”)
6. Musical Intelligence (“Music Smart”)
7. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)
8. Spatial Intelligence (“Image Smart”)
9. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence (“Word Smart”).

MI is an old acquaintance. I wrote of MI as early as 16 years ago, 2007 (see my book “Team ICRISAT Champions The Poor”, pdf: https://oar.icrisat.org). As I understand MI, in each of us lies any combination of those intelligences. Me, I’m #9.)

And AI? It is only #5 in the list above; it is all mathematical-logical – so, how intelligent is Artificial Intelligence? AI is all number/reasoning smart – so, how smart is AI?

With AI, as a teacher I cannot teach anyone to be any of the 9 smarts!

And today, how can I teach Kindness to anyone via AI? Kindness is not Artificial Intelligence – it is beyond logic, and that is why it is so smart! As a digital writer, editor and desktop publisher:

Not AI but MI – and give me Kindness anytime!@517

 

 

“Don’t Regret Having A Good Heart” – Keanu Reeves. “I Must Be Cruel To Me, If Only To Be Kind” – I, Paraphrasing William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”

The beginning of another beautiful day! From JAQ, I get this email “Creativity And  Envy” today, 17 Feb 2024, by my tokayo Francis J Kong of PhilStar (17 Feb 2024), and on the same early morning I see on Facebook a sharing by Myrna Magboo Bigueras from Keanu Reeves (top image).

To cut it short: Mr Kong quotes Charles Munger as saying, “• “I want to think about things where I have an advantage over others.” That’s not a very good place to start, Mr Munger (and Mr Kong)!

I prefer Keanu Reeves’ take (top image): “Don’t regret having a good heart, all good things come back and multiply.”

Pertinently, at the end of last year, I came to this conclusion: “Wishing Well Your Friends & Acquaintances On Facebook Is Not Contagious – But Being Kind Is!” (29 Dec 2023, “Communication for Development of Vibrant Villages, blogspot.com). I also quoted there Lady Gaga: “I’ve been searching for ways to heal myself, and I’ve found that kindness is the best way.”

Lady Gaga is like saying, “If you are unkind to others, at the same time you are unkind to yourself; if you are kind to others, at the same time you are kind to yourself.”

Mr Kong also quotes Mr Munger as saying:

The study “Outshined by Creative Stars: A Dual-Pathway Model of Leader Reactions to Employees’ Reputation for Creativity” distinguishes between inherently creative employees and those who have gained a reputation for creativity. Interestingly, the latter category becomes a focal point for supervisor envy.

“Supervisor envy” – Not a very good place to start!

What is the best response to the creativity of others? 1^st, Thank God for people’s creativity. 2^nd, Be kind to the creative people. 3^rd, Learn to be creative yourself!

Even Inquirer.net has learned to be kind (lower image): “A single act of kindness can go a long way.”

From my 48 years of experience in writing and publishing for others and for myself, I have learned to be kind – and that’s I am so creative. Hate, even the milder dislike, is a prison the hater does not realize that it is personally created.

I quote again from Mr Kong:

These quotes and thoughts, especially Munger’s remark on envy, got me thinking a lot. A recent study by the UBC Sauder School of Business reveals that a reputation for creativity might make standout employees vulnerable to the envy of their bosses. The study, conducted at a leading Chinese automobile company specializing in electric and commercial vehicles, involved over 500 workers and supervisors in high-tech areas such as automation and battery engineering.

You don’t know enough about creativity if you simply envy those who have shown creativity and not find out how you can learn to be creative yourself!

To start on your road to creativity, learn from any of Edward De Bono’s books about “Lateral thinking” (debono.com). I discovered his “Po” thinking mode 48 years ago – you should discover it now!@517
