Week 2 - BALT 4362 - CH 3/4

 If I was a business owner, I would absolutely be looking at ways software bots could help my company grow. Chapter 3 of Automation with AI breaks down how different industries are applying Robotic Process Automation into their day-to-day operations. When industries that have little in common, banking and manufacturing are two that the chapter references, are able to use the same tool (RPA's) it is not something that can be ignored by any business. I was not aware that there were different kinds of bots for specific tasks. Knowing that now, I feel less intimidated about trying to learn how to use them. In fact, I think I would be doing myself an injustice if I did not try a platform like Automation Anywhere. The worst that could happen is I have a resume booster with experience on RPA platforms.

No matter how long you have worked at a job, there will always be questions from bosses, coworkers, and customers that we might not know the answer to. This is a scenario where I feel AI like ChatGPT can be practical. If I feel like I get a good response from ChatGPT then I would have no problem using the information, it gave me and expanding on the issue with my own thoughts. Chapter 4 does mention the fact that if you are going to use ChatGPT for customer queries that information better be accurate and relevant. I think if you are going to use ChatGPT in this way it has to be done responsibly and not as a first option. You will lose customer credibility if your answer to their questions comes off as AI generated, and that sort of news spreads quickly. AI can have countless positive benefits in all industries but learning when and where to apply AI is just as important as learning how to use it.

Welcome to my blog!  My name is Jude Sullivan, and this will be my third Fall here at Benedictine. I am originally from Paris, Illinois but made the decision to move across the country and continue my baseball career in warmer weather, at the Mesa campus. I played on the baseball team my first two years, but I have decided to focus on school/work for this Fall semester. I will be graduating in December with an Accounting degree, and I am looking forward to learning the skills that this class will require.

Week 8 - BALT 4362 - AI Image and Video Generation

AI’s ability to create realistic images and artwork has exploded in the last few years, and in my opinion, it is both amazing and terrifying. With the correct prompt, anyone can make professional-quality pictures, no art degree required. Businesses can now use tools like DALL·E, Midjourney, and Canva’s AI generator to design posters and logos in seconds. This levels the playing field for small businesses that do not have the marketing budget to compete with bigger corporations. This can also be applied to students. You can make visuals for class projects, creative writing, or social media without needing advanced design skills. I know I have been able to use it to create presentation visuals I never would have been able to come up with on my own. It does a great job bridging the gap for people who might lack creativity, like me.  But as cool as it is, there are some real downsides. Artists worry about AI copying their work or taking credit for their style, and some AI-generated im...

Chapter Two of Data Toolkit,  and more specifically the exercises within the chapter,   helped me understand the basics of how Python can control and organize what a program does. Control structures like loops are like giving a set of instructions that the computer can follow repeatedly or only under certain conditions. The examples using “for” and “while” loops made it clearer how repetition works. An example of this would be repeating something a certain number of times or until a condition changes. I liked the comparison to a remote-control car, because it helped me see how code can “steer” what happens in a program. Seeing the examples with “if” and “if-else” statements helped me see how Python can make decisions, like checking whether a number is even or odd. The guessing game example at the end was especially interesting because it combined all the ideas, loops, conditions, and user input into one project. It made Python feel a little less intimidating, since I could se...
