I have a confession to make. I use Artificial Intelligence. Not a little bit. Like all the time. But I am not ashamed or embarrassed.
I use it very selectively. I use it to research article and video topics. I use it to create thumbnail images for my YouTube videos; something that is a pain without AI. I use it to summarise my videos and my podcasts. I could do it myself, but it’s slow, and I would rather use my time for something far more useful. And I use it to produce slide shows because I hate PowerPoint with a passion.
I draw the line at having it write for me, though. AI might have absorbed the sum of all human knowledge, but I am still not convinced that it possesses the requisite skills to manipulate language in quite the same way as a human being. That being said, I now have an AI agent that acts as my editor, checking my work for spelling, grammar, and flow before I press the publish button. I have named my editor Nobby because most of the editors I have encountered over the years have been quite “knobby.”
Nobby is my spelling and grammar checker, my thesaurus and language arbiter, my editorial co-pilot. And Nobby is the reason I am reframing my thoughts on AI’s place in construction in general, and in the cab of demolition and construction equipment in particular.
