MY WHAT IS AI? (2025)

AI (artificial Intelligence) is a broader term for a novel-ish tool known as a LLM (Large Language Model) - A token level internet document simulator. (Trained on the internet).

Some people call AI software 2.0. - Traditional software is hardcoded and behaves as programmed.. sometimes. The architecture of AI or Software 2.0 mimics the brain - and such as is a black box of sorts once trained (we dont know whats going on inside). Our main method of evaluation is performance benchmarks (Like you would test a student). Already we are seeing saturation in these benchmarks.

These models are trained to model the world around us. They generate outputs that simulate our world using prediction based algorithms . (Could be conscious? So be nice to it (them), as my nan says don't forget  your please and thank you's)

Everything we input (mainly text) is chunked into tokens (numbered values) sent into a Neural network processed with compute and sent back to the user as text, image, video or music.

These models exist on large servers around the world (need large amounts of compute) - and now can even be run on devices as small as your phone depending on the size of the model. (prediction and very possible reality - most businesses that fall within key industries will eventually have their own model, trained on their own data, with access to live datapoints providing strategy, customer relations - email etc, phone, and many more services) and is already happening in a big way already in massive corporate settings.

Remember: This generative process is not perfect and is susceptible to hallucinations. (Completions that are fictitious) - but I guess the reality is that humans are no different - sometimes. :)

What does this mean?

Many tasks have become significantly faster. Quality and accuracy levels of tasks are higher with the right workflows.

At anytime of day, 24/7 you have access to a immensely capable assistant. Of which some models score in the top percentile of PHD level humans (math, science, coding and complex strategy)

Sam altman the head of Open AI said recently that every person has the ability to strategise and run their company at the level of some of the best on the planet - if not more so. The question is how will you embrace this technology?

For me I have taken an AI first approach to explore potential use cases and find areas of use. Its still super early days and the is much to learn and discover. It seems the limit is really your imagination. Which is pretty cool.. at least i think so.

CREATIVE AI

• Generative media specific models, Images, Videos.

• Many  service providers - all different flavours.

Music (suno), Video (runway), Images (Ideogram), Synthesia, Opus Clip (Easy shorts), AI Video Transcription

• Text to Image. Text to Video. Image to video. Image to Image. Image to Text. Text to Text to Image. Text to Text to Image to Video.

• Music Generation

LOGICAL AI

• Chat based LLM's - ChatGPT, Claude, GROK, Gemini, Deepseek ETC.

• Flavours - Large models. Reasoning Model. Mini Models (Smaller Faster). Multi Modal Models.

• Image analysis (via vision model - (o1, o3, 4o, 4.5)

• Voice control (Advanced voice mode Open Ai is best right now)

• Document Analysis - RAG - Retrieval - An easy way to get current information into a model.

• Coding

AGENTIC AI

• Action oriented AI with tools: Internet search, calendar update, booking, file retrieval, email etc.

• Deep research

• Agent Zero // Agentic Systems that can create and manage files

• Computer Use (vision based browser use)

• AI callers (Voice based agents)

• Highly Disruptive

What does this mean?

Cheaper and more robust development of apps, websites & digital infrastructure for business.

Massive productivity boosts for everybody. (Filling in Knowledge Gaps) - But in the same way - If the tool was taken away - how would we cope?

- For me personally my website design time has decreased as AI takes tasks like Copywriting, SEO, Media / Asset Creation.

- For my clients who are less technically savvy it has enabled them to do more with less.

- For business owners the question is - what are the most painful problems in your business and how can they be solved? The likelihood is that it can be done faster than before - or at least thought through in a conversation with AI - in the most basic sense.
