AI – aka Artificial Intelligence is all the rage at the moment… While likely very helpful and undoubtedly will change many items we do and how we do them in the future….many statements are eerily similar to the com era of the late 90’s and early 2000’s ….
In the following example, a public transcript is loaded into Copilot (on a Cell- so nothing heavy needed for processing) and then several request were made.
WARNING- DO NOT LOAD ANY NON-PUBLIC CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION INTO ANY AI PUBLIC SYSTEM !
This is totally different than typing a word document or the like…. When uploading information into a public AI system your information is not kept private! Having seen many examples of cleaning up notes, speeches, and many other types of material that the user certainly wants to keep private… the lack of privacy in using AI is not prevalent and understated in all the platforms reviewed – be Careful!
Helpful hints summary as this is pretty long: 1) Be specific in your request 2) You can copy and paste answers easily into other documents – in my case my personal one-note health related blog notes 3) Copilot was easier – tried the Google but could not get the transcript loaded 4) Worth a fun try yourself, just remember not to use confidential material 5) Entire process took less than 5 minutes – NICE!
Goal – Use AI to summarize a long 1.5 hour podcast – Expecting a Cliff Notes Like Result
First request – Summarize the transcript – This resulted in a super high level summary that was of little use other than repeating who the author was and some facts…
Second request – Give me a bulleted summary of the transcript – This resulted in a repeat of the first output, but with bullets and even shorter format …
Third request – Give me more details – Nope, this did no good, as it was almost a repeat of the first request …
Fourth request – Give me 15 bullets from the transcript – Getting closer here as this was a high level, more detailed and easy to review format, BUT some of the bullets were on point with the main topic of the podcast, in this case back pain related… ah ha!
Fifth request – Give me the 15 most important points associated with back pain (being more specific and on the correct path now) –
- Spine Anatomy: Understanding the structure of the spine is crucial for managing back pain.
- Multifactorial Causes: Back pain has multiple origins, including physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors.
- Individual Variation: There is no one-size-fits-all solution; personalized strategies are essential.
- Core Stability: Strengthening core muscles plays a significant role in preventing and managing back pain.
- Posture Matters: Proper posture helps maintain spine health and reduce discomfort.
- Risk Reduction: Avoid risky movements that strain the back.
- Evidence-Based Approaches: Evidence guides effective interventions for back pain.
- Dr. Stuart McGill: A world expert in spine biomechanics, he has authored over 250 research articles.
- Injury Mechanisms: Dr. McGill’s work analyzes both injured and healthy spines.
- Tissue Loading: Insights into tissue loading during rehabilitation inform treatment strategies.
- Work-Related Injuries: Strategies to prevent work-related back injuries are valuable.
- Controversies: The podcast discusses differing views on back pain origins and treatments.
- International Recognition: Dr. McGill received awards for his contributions.
- Accessible Insights: His research benefits both injured individuals and those seeking preventive measures.
- Empowerment: Everyone can take steps to strengthen their back and reduce pain.
Final Request – After a few other requests – A trick question was requested as there were only three – Give me the 8 most important exercises for lower back –
- Curl-Up: This exercise engages the core muscles and improves spine stability. To perform it:
- Lie on your back with one knee bent and the other leg straight.
- Place your hands under your lower back to maintain its natural curve.
- Lift your head and shoulders slightly off the ground without straining your neck.
- Hold the position briefly and then lower down.
- Side Plank: The side plank targets the lateral muscles and promotes stability. Here’s how to do it:
- Lie on your side, propped up on your forearm.
- Stack your feet and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from head to heels.
- Hold the position, focusing on maintaining alignment.
- Bird Dog: This exercise enhances spinal coordination and balance. Follow these steps:
- Begin on your hands and knees.
- Extend one arm forward while simultaneously extending the opposite leg backward.
- Keep your core engaged and maintain a stable spine.
- Alternate sides.
Not sure SKYNET is here yet – Can think of some uses … mostly productivity improvements … remember for the most part, the first .com companies WERE NOT the ones standing now!
Have a Great “AI Test” Day!
