Blog

For quite some time I had been racking my brains trying to think of a theme for regular blog posts that would keep me interested, engaged and committed to posting, and in the early hours of the 17th January this year it suddenly came to me!


Much like the early days of the internet early last year I found myself drawn to this whole new frontier of AI and where it may take us.
With that in mind my idea behind ‘AI for Breakfast’ is to publish a new post every day on a topic related in some way to AI and how it may be utilised in business.


For the weekdays I will endeavour to post informative and hopefully useful posts (Update, this changed at post 92). For the weekends the current theme is getting my custom GPT to create a visual metaphor for an idiom or phrase, hopefully on the first attempt. Sometimes the results are quite amusing, sometimes they’re pretty poor! The theme may change, after all, this is just an experiment.


Admittedly my original intentions have changed as this project grows. The time commitment is a bit more than I envisaged and the format is constantly evolving. I’m experimenting with creating custom GPTs for my own business and my clients. I’m really enjoying the learning process, which to me is always a good thing. Prompt engineering is fascinating subject and I’m starting to get a handle on it.


Andrej Karpathy, a very well respected computer scientist tweeted on the 24th january 2023, “The hottest new programming language is English” my own interpretation on this is that if he was referring to prompt engineering in some way then you better take notice!


The deeper I go down the AI rabbit hole, the more I realise just how incredibly powerful AI will become. My advice?


Learn about AI and how you can incorporate it into your business. Because if you don’t your competitors most likely will, and when they do they will have the advantage, and it will become a very large advantage.


Start today…

Post 214 - It’s the weekend! - 18th August Idiom of the day: "Let the cat out of the bag" Figurative meaning: To reveal a secret, often unintentionally. Typical usage: "She accidentally let the cat out of the bag about the surprise party when she asked him if he was excited for Saturday." Origin: This idiom dates back to the 18th century when farmers would sell pigs at markets. Unscrupulous sellers would sometimes substitute a cat for a pig, and if the cat was let out of the bag before the buyer left, the deception would be revealed. Over time, the phrase came to mean disclosing a secret.

Post 213 - It’s the weekend! - 17th August Idiom of the day: "Break the ice" Figurative meaning: To initiate conversation in a social setting, especially when it feels awkward or tense. Typical usage: "To break the ice at the party, she suggested a fun game that everyone could participate in." Origin: The idiom "break the ice" originally refers to the practice of breaking ice to clear the way for ships in icy waters. Over time, it has come to describe any situation where someone takes action to remove social awkwardness or tension, making it easier for others to engage.

Post 212 - Fun Friday - 16th August AI-generated humour: "What do you call an AI that loves to dance? An 'algorithm'!" This joke plays on the word "algorithm," combining it with "rhythm" to create a light-hearted and playful pun. It’s a simple yet amusing way to end the week with a smile.

Post 211 - Thought Thursday - 15th August Thought for the day: "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking." – William Butler Yeats This quote by William Butler Yeats emphasises the importance of taking initiative and creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to come. It’s a powerful reminder that action is often the key to success, and sometimes we have to forge our own path rather than waiting for the perfect moment.

Post 210 - Word Wednesday - 14th August Word of the Day: Petrichor (noun) Definition: The pleasant, earthy smell that accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather. Usage: "After the long summer drought, the petrichor was a welcome reminder of the coming autumn." Origin: The word "petrichor" comes from the Greek words "petra," meaning stone, and "ichor," which in Greek mythology is the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods. The term was coined in the 1960s by Australian scientists who discovered that the scent is caused by an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods. This oil is absorbed by soil and rocks and then released into the air when it rains, creating the distinctive smell.
