Week 4: Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly.

Procrastination and the inability to start are something we are all guilty of doing at some point. Whether it is a school assignment like writing a paper, cleaning your house or starting to clean your house finding random items that distract you and playing with those instead of continuing to clean your house. We have all done it. It can be hard to take that first step at completing a task or learning a new skill. One of my favorite quotes that helps motivate me is, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly". 

This quote can be taken a lot of different ways but the way I look at it is even if I am doing something poorly at least I started. I recently started running and I have always highly disliked running because I am bad at it but I decided even if I am the slowest person or can't go more than a mile I am going to try. Now I am running up to four miles with ease all because I decided being bad is not the end of the world. Being bad leaves room for improvement but not trying at all leaves you forever stuck at being bad.

Learning any skill is just like me and running. You will not start to learn something and immediately be great at it. Technology and AI are continuously evolving and changing and we have to start to learn it. It is okay if we start trying to learn a new technology and don't get it right away. The people that start are doing infinitely better than the people who have not.  Being bad at something is not the end of the world because we know have a basis of where we are at and know what we need to improve on. 

 I have attached a YouTube video I love on this topic. Feel free to watch!

  Week 8: AI in Ads Have you ever been talking to your friend about a topic and possibly even googled something and now this topic is all over your social media and you are seeing ads for it everywhere? This is another form of AI. Websites uses tools called cookies to collect data about what you are looking at, for how long and if you are returning to the website or a certain item.  The more you use your computer the more it will get to know you. For instance if you online shop a lot you will gets ads on your social media or even in your email for stores you look at regularly.

Week 4: AI and Baking According to LinkedIn the five most in demand jobs are commis chef, baker, artificial intelligence engineer, research and development engineer, and service officer. Bakers have become more in demand due to businesses reopening after covid shut downs. Another reason bakers are more in demand is because just like technology baking has evolved and more people are looking for specialty items. Such as gluten free bread, Ezekiel bread and specialty cakes. These items can not be found in stores so people turn to local bakeries.  It is obvious why artificial intelligence engineers are in much higher demand and that is because AI has become more popular. AI is also being implemented in more and more jobs so it is crucial there are people who know what to do with the AI. The need for this position will continue to rise.  Artificial Intelligence can actually be used in the baking process. In baking it is very important that all your measurements are exact.
