06 Feb
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to february! In addition to the email version of the newsletter there is a supporting website where you can log on and get to all the previous versions. Its a trove of resources, especially if you are just subscribed.
  | The logon process is a little less obvious (we don’t hold user names). If you are not logged on click on the three lines (burger menu!) and select log on. It will ask you for your subscriber email, and then email a log on link. After clicking on that you can explore the back issues We are also testing ‘add comments’ to posts, why not give it a try (be nice!), you can also ‘heart’ and share! These appear on the left, when you click in to read a post Also if you reply to the newsletter, and add the sender to your contacts, it will help google and outlook ensure the newsletters stay in your inbox |
Table of Contents
We are a growing newsletter, we appreciate every share and recommendation.
How was it made?
The use of AI and when AI has been used to create content should be disclosed, or should it? The challenge of declaring when AI was used in the process is two fold.
1) where in the process was it used
2) what was it used for.
AI tools are already deeply embedded into software, and processes. Everything from background removal in zoom calls, to spelling and grammar correction in Microsoft Word using the co-pilots. When was there ‘not enough human’ in the process. Defining this is a problem for copyright of images, product creation, writing. It’s one of the ‘Hot’ AI topics.
But I actually wonder, other than content creators, does the end consumer really care? Or do they just care about a cost effective quality outcome. If you consider ESG, green products, ethical sourcing. The consumer cares, after the price and quality is right (in general).
I make fountain pens (everyone needs a hobby!) they would be classified as hand made. In reality though, a more accurate label would be ‘hand assembled, and hand finished’. The inner workings were made by a parts supplier, the nib by a german company, the outer shell started as an unshaped, pre-prepared by a supplier blank.
How much AI was used in designing the car you drive? Should it be declared? Would it change your purchase decisions?
