In the previous part, we saw where AI is being used in our daily lives, knowingly or unknowingly.
When we use mobile phones, search for something on Google, watch YouTube, do Online Shopping, take photographs and use many digital facilities, AI is helping us somewhere or the other.
But now a new question arises here.
“If I want to use AI myself, how and where should I start?”
Today, many AI Tools are available on the internet.
There is ChatGPT.
There is Gemini.
There are different Tools for writing.
There are different Tools for creating photographs.
There are different Tools for creating voices.
There are also AI Tools for creating videos.
After seeing all this, an ordinary person has only one question…
“Which Tool exactly should we use?”
Come, today let us understand this in very simple language.
What exactly is an AI Tool?
In simple language…
An AI Tool is a tool created to perform a particular task with the help of AI.
Just as we use different tools for different tasks at home.
A different tool for cutting vegetables.
A different machine for washing clothes.
Different equipment for cooking.
Similarly, in the world of AI, there are different Tools for different tasks.
One Tool helps in writing an article.
Another Tool creates photographs.
One Tool creates voices.
Another Tool helps in creating videos.
Therefore, one AI Tool may not necessarily be the best for every task.
So friends, what is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI-based conversational tool.
You can ask it questions and answers.
You can understand a particular topic.
You can take help in preparing a draft of an article.
You can take help in writing a letter.
You can translate.
You can understand a difficult topic in your studies in simple language.
You can ask for new ideas.
In other words, you can communicate with it as if you are talking to an intelligent digital assistant.
But remember one thing.
Not every answer given by ChatGPT will necessarily be one hundred percent correct.
Therefore, after getting important information, it is necessary to verify it.
What is Gemini?
Gemini is an AI tool developed by Google.
You can also ask questions to it.
You can take help to understand information.
You can take help with writing.
You can get new ideas.
And it can be used for various types of tasks.
That means both ChatGPT and Gemini are AI-based assistants.
But their capabilities, features and connections with different services may be different.
Therefore, it is not right to simply say, “One of these is good and the other is bad.”
It is more important to see which Tool is useful according to your work.
So which AI Tool should an ordinary person use?
The answer is very simple.
Choose the right Tool according to the work you want to do.
Suppose you want to write a letter.
For that, you can take help from an AI for writing.
You want to create a photograph.
For that, you can use an Image Generation Tool.
You want to create a voice.
For that, a Voice or Text-to-Speech Tool can be useful.
Suppose you want to create a video.
For that, an AI Video Tool can be used.
That means first decide the work and then choose the Tool.
Do not look for work by looking at the Tool.
Choose the Tool by looking at the work.
It is very important to remember this.
AI for Students
Today, AI can be very useful for students.
Suppose a student does not understand a lesson in science.
He can ask AI,
“Explain this lesson in such simple language that a six-year-old child can understand it.”
AI can give a simple explanation of that topic.
If it is a mathematics problem, the method of solving it can be understood.
The meaning of an English word can be understood.
Questions can be prepared for practice.
But students must definitely remember one thing.
AI is not an alternative to studying.
AI is a companion that helps you understand your studies.
AI for Teachers
AI can also be useful for teachers.
Preparing an outline of a lesson.
Preparing questions for students.
Preparing practice worksheets.
Understanding a topic in different ways.
Preparing examples according to the age of students.
AI can help with many such things.
But the work of standing in front of students in the classroom and teaching them can only be done by the teacher.
AI can help the teacher; its purpose is not to replace the teacher.
AI for Journalists
AI can be used in a different way in the field of journalism.
Preparing a preliminary draft of a news story.
Making the content shorter.
Translating.
Getting ideas for a Headline.
Preparing a Script for a video.
Preparing text for a voice.
Preparing Content for a social media post.
AI can help with many such tasks.
But a journalist should never forget the most important thing.
Do not assume that the information given by AI is the truth.
Checking facts, checking sources and verifying information before publishing a news story is the responsibility of the journalist.
AI for Small Businesses
Suppose you have a small shop.
You want to create an advertisement for your shop.
You want to send a message to customers on WhatsApp.
You want to post something on Social Media.
You need an idea for a new offer.
For this, AI can become your small digital assistant.
You do not need to have a big company or a big office for this.
Even a small business can benefit from AI.
AI for Homemakers
AI is not only for people who have jobs.
It can also be used to help with household work.
Preparing a weekly cooking menu.
Preparing for a family event.
Preparing a study timetable for children.
Understanding information about a topic in simple language.
Planning a trip.
AI can help with such small tasks.
So, What Care Should Be Taken While Using AI?
Using AI is easy.
But using it responsibly is even more important.
Be careful while giving your personal or highly sensitive information to AI.
Do not casually enter Passwords, Bank PINs, OTPs, secret information of financial accounts or other sensitive information into any AI Tool.
Also, if the information given by AI is important, verify it.
Take extra care especially with information related to health, law, money or government work.
Do You Have to Spend a Lot of Money to Learn AI?
No.
It is not necessary to take an expensive Course to get started.
If you have a mobile phone and internet, you can start learning about many AI Tools.
Initially, choose only one Tool.
Experiment with it.
Ask questions.
Understand the answers.
Make mistakes.
Keep improving.
Try again.
Then gradually your confidence will increase.
Most Important — How to Ask AI a Question?
One thing is very important while using AI.
The answer you get can change depending on how you ask the question.
For example, if you simply ask,
“Write an article on education.”
You may get a general answer.
But if you say,
“Write a 500-word article explaining the importance of education in very simple Marathi language that school students’ parents can understand.”
Then the possibility of getting a clearer answer according to your requirement increases.
In simple language, this is called giving a Prompt.
We will talk about this in detail in the upcoming part.
In Short…
Whether it is ChatGPT.
Whether it is Gemini.
Or any other AI Tool.
More important than which Tool is the most important is whether we use that Tool correctly.
AI can think for you.
It can help us.
It can save our time.
It can give us new ideas.
But your experience, your decision and your responsibility are yours.
Therefore, do not make AI your master.
Make it your 24-hour smart assistant.
Choose one AI Tool today.
Start talking to it.
Give it a small task.
Look at the answer.
If the answer is wrong, ask it again.
And slowly learn.
You do not need to be a Genius to learn AI.
You only need to have a strong desire to learn.
