[ADXA] SHE’S ALIVE!!!

[Jon W. Reynolds]

A friend of mine once told me the good and bad of AI is that it has access to ALL the information, and the bad is that it doesnt know what is good or bad information. So, a way to combat that problem is to narrow the scope of the information that the AI utilizes in formulating a response.

A way that I have used it for task specific operation, like building a 44' tower in the back yard, by myself, while never having done that before.... I first opened the chat bot, and prompted itself to design a profile of an expert amateur radio tower insrallation professional with 30 years of experience in the field, that also specialized in safety and electrical grounding standards and practices. And I discussed the project with the bot, formulated a plan, fed it some .pdf files of rohn installation manuals....and when I got the plan, I fed it through my ADXA friends/knowledge base with actual experience to buff out the rough edges and make sure AI aligned with reality. (Don't forget this step, it's important).

That all being said, I wouldnt trust it completely by itself without having professionals looking over it. It should be used as a tool in the tool belt, not a professional in the field to hire and forget about.

My 2 cents

But the song was great!

I gave it just a tiny bit of information and it churned for no more than a minute and produced that song. That’s amazing and scary at the same time.
