Week 9: AI

I know that the discussion of AI has come up a lot, not only in this class, but in society right now. Currently, I am in a place where I am not engaging with any AI platforms or influences because in my current job we are actively making sure students aren't using AI software and instruments to assist them with completing outcomes, etc. 

What is interesting to me though is the presence of AI in social media and not just from a visual content side. If you all read my blogs at all, you know that I usually incorporate some article for additional reading that I have found and thought it was interesting to the topic. I found an article published in March through Forbes by an author who is the founder and CEO of a company that incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning. The article is titled How AI Transforms Social Media.  

It really takes a deeper look into the incorporation of AI in the community, which assists me with understanding the broadness and not be stuck thinking that AI in social media are just filters that give us different visual content. Also, it is like a 3 minute read, so I encourage. 😊

Blog 3: Week 1

My immediate family is my partner and two dogs so the dogs didn't have an input ☺I also polled my parents and my sister. Below are the tallies of who uses what every day.  Facebook: 4 Instagram: 4 Twitter: 2 TikTok: 1 Some would argue this could be age related, however the ages ranged from 33 - 71, and the twitter users were in their 40's and 70's, Facebook was everyone, Instagram was everyone, and Tik Tok was in their 30's. Just thought it was interesting to get a perspective on what people are using. Ironically no one in my family blogs either, so that is not a common network or online community that is utilized. Something I did not think of but no one mentioned using it, was YouTube. I think about YouTube when I need to complete DIY for something around the house, or it opens automatically from a different site, but I don't view it as social media, when it absolutely

Week 4: Online Life

While progressing through class this week and attempting to become more integrated in other Web 2.0 communities and content, I can't help but find it overwhelming. I think there is a reason I am fully a part of some online communities and just aware of others. Maybe it is the feeling of a need  to check in or just not having the capacity to engage across multiple platforms. I am sure there is a term for it these days and I should go search for it, but I feel exhaustion from the internet  right now. Don't get me wrong, it is a privilege to have everything in the palm of our hands, connectivity to loved ones, access to information, maps, locations, etc., but living in the space throughout the day is exhausting.  I sat outside last night and reflected on my usage of all things that are internet related throughout my day and it is no wonder I feel overwhelmed. And yes, I strategically set outside so I wouldn't be around anything streaming or playing. Below is just a snap shot o
