The crazy thing is I can't even think of a job that isn't physical labor that is in demand and that you can't just get a machine to do for free. If anyone here doesn't know by now, I'm not avoiding physical labor for no reason, I am disabled lol
#I could learn graphic design which I fucking hate#but companies can use Canva for free!#I can try to edit which I like#but ppl can use cheap editing software and learn it themselves!#I could get into sound/music production like I want to#but people can use presets and it'll sound mostly okay!#I could try to work writing jobs#but the market is saturated! also AI is learning to do that!#I can't do tech jobs because I literally just can't get better at math. I put in maximum effort and still had to cheat to pass so#literally not an option it's just not a thing my brain is wired for no matter how hard I try or want to learn#let's not even talk about how no one wants to pay for art#I'm beginning to think the library job I want is going to be fucking obsolete by the time I get even halfway through a degree#customer service is being replaced with chatbots and automated systems so I can't even try that job I hate out of necessity#there's nothing#my only choice is to start working a physical job where they won't even let me sit down in a fucking chair#and keep working until I literally collapse onto the floor and then probably get fired for having the audacity to collapse

Hi! I wanted to say, I read that you are a professional editor, and think it's amazing! You also give very logical and well explained advice. I was wondering; would you say being an editor is a job you can support yourself with? I actually aspire to become one someday, but I'm not exactly sure if it's a good plan.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a good day/night
Hey there. Great question. It's totally possible to support yourself as an editor. I've done it, and so have other editors I know. However there are a few important things to consider before choosing editing as a career path.
Your chances of being a self-employed freelancer are extremely high. The number of in-house editing jobs in publishing are low and getting lower. While being self employed can give you a certain amount of flexibility, it also comes along with a lot of hustle and hassle, namely fluctuating income, a stupid amount of confusing tax paperwork, and the need to constantly promote yourself to clients in order to maintain steady work.
You probably won't make as much money as you'd think. Editing is one of the many skilled jobs that suffers from market saturation, which has sadly driven down the price the average client is willing to pay for editing services. I can't tell you the number of overqualified editors I know charging barely more than minimum wage for their work. Personally I've stuck to my guns about charging what I'm worth, but I've sometimes suffered by not having as much work as my colleagues who charge less.
Robots have already chipped away at the future of editing as a human occupation, and will continue to do so at exponential speed in the years ahead. They will never obliterate the job completely, as there will always be humans who prefer to work with humans instead of machines. But the outlook will become ever bleaker as more humans compete for fewer gigs, which in turn will drive down prices even further.
If you are also a writer, editing may adversely affect your writing. I don't mean that you'll become a worse writer, quite the opposite. My editing work has brought new depths to my writing, and I'm grateful for all I've learned by working with my clients. However, editing takes time, uses creative energy, and requires staring at a screen (or paper), and personally the more I edit, the less time/creativity/screen-staring capabilities I have left for my own writing.
If you mention you're an editor, someone will troll your post for a typo, grammatical error, or misused word, and then triumphantly point it out to you in the comments. This is mostly a joke. But it does happen every single time.
I hope this hasn't been too discouraging. If you feel a true passion for editing and really enjoy the work, none of the above should dissuade you. However, if you think you might be happy in any number of occupations, I'd honestly advise you to explore other options. Choosing a career path at this point in history is a gamble no matter what, but the outlook for editors is especially grim.
If you'd like to work with writers and aren't attached to being an editor, there are a few jobs (still freelance) that I believe will survive the coming robot apocalypse. Do a little Google research about "book coaches," "writing coaches," or "book doulas." These are people who act primarily as emotional supporters and logistical helpers for writers who are trying to get their book published or self published. Some of them do actual editing, but many do not, and due to the therapeutic nature of their work I believe they will flourish longer than editors in the coming robot apocalypse.
If you do explore editing as a path, the further away you can lean from spelling and grammar (e.g. proofreader or copyeditor), the longer your skills will be useful when competing with robots. AI still struggles to offer the same kind of nuanced, story-level feedback that a human can give. (Speaking from experience here--I'm a developmental editor and have yet to see a dent in my workload because of robots.) They'll catch up eventually, but it could be a while, and as long as there are human readers, there will always be humans who are willing to pay for a human perspective on their writing. Human spell checkers maybe not so much.
Hope this helps!

One thing I don't see lots of folks talking about here re: so-called "AI" tools, possibly because I see far fewer tech-circles posting on this site, is the impending Catch-22 of tech or tech-adjacent jobs utilizing AI or LLM models. I think a lot of folks are caught up in the art-theft, the nonsense generation, and both of those are TRUE PROBLEMS THAT SUCK -- they also don't seem to know that LLM tools are actually, I think, soon going to be a near-requirement for jobs that have any element of coding or are tech-adjacent.
I know for a fact the MOST-senior, best programmer on my team is using AI to write his scripts. Why? Because it's fast. The mistakes it makes, according to him, tend to be easy and quick fixes, or made up method calls, and that's simple to tweak. There are anecdotes on reddit and Bluesky about scripts or programs that would normally take two weeks for a person to perfect being hashed out in a day using AssGPT or BroPilot. I believe it, I've seen it.
If we apply that more widely - this is what a lot of tech workers are going to be doing, ARE doing, right now. I am significantly concerned about the future of these jobs, or say, if you have moral-takes with AI or LLM tools. I strongly suspect, due to productivity gains, soon "not using them" isn't going to be an acceptable option to managers-that-be - this isn't for things like "Ooooh well you should just go learn new skills," it's that the market saturation will require one of your skills to be using LLM/AI coding-tools.
People can't learn new skills nearly as quickly as LLM's have started spitting out code that is almost entirely correct. It's just not going to happen - we need practice and repetition, and AI-adjacent programs just... don't. I can also say with confidence, the only reason we haven't seen it at wide-adoption within companies yet is due to concerns about proprietary secret-leaks. That's it. That's the thread that is currently separating LLM-use as a requirement vs a sanctioned-but-nothing-too-specific-in-the-machine activity.
I know the current hotness is that AI-tools are overrated, but from what I'm seeing in tech-world, I just don't think that's entirely true. I strongly suspect we're about to see "productivity-gains" in some of these circles the likes of which we haven't seen since rapid proliferation of the personal computer - and it's going to be use-tools or get-lost, and in the world of Capitalism you are only as good as your capacity for productivity (and, people using LLM's can spike their productivity to save literal days, weeks of time for certain given tasks) - and as someone with a career in this field, I'm not entirely sure what to do with that.
#thoughts on AI#chatGPT#tech#etc#like. yes. they DO fuck up sometimes. we all know it#but when the most senior people on a team are starting to utilize it so they can just get more done#that's not a great sign. because those are the people who COULD do the work quickly! But!!#I do genuinely believe we are a few years from seeing major industry-shifts. That's the bet that every major tech company is making.#Soon able to remove skilled labor from the equation of skill-access

Why did I become an Artist?
I used to draw a lot more. In fact, one of my favorite things to do was draw as a kid, but it faded away (we all know why).
As an adult, I feel it's harder to be creative, but I had that excitement when I was fresh out of high school and I was very much inspired by seeing these game environment artists at the time. I loved seeing their process and how you could make this amazing thing from essentially nothing...from your head! To me that was mind-blowing; coming from a family who had a pretty traditional view on things: go to school, get good grades, get a job, blah blah blah...if you didn't get good grades you were considered a loser.
That's where my art journey began, really.
I eventually learned the video game industry is not exactly great, and moved on to other things. I got inspired by illustrators and animators, but soon realized I was holding myself to too high of a standard, and a lot of the advice was not good for my mental health. along with the rise of AI art I had to take a break from doing drawing for a long time. I moved on to graphic design.
I studied graphic design for 2 years, I loved making things, but it felt impossible to be one. The amount of materials I had to learn was never-ending because jobs always asked new requirements besides knowing adobe CC and programming languages. The whole list of reasons why they wouldn't accept you to the job listed is a can of worms in itself. Then you could be a freelancer.
"but don't you manage your own time as a freelancer? isn't it more easygoing, and all that?" You may ask
Not really. first of all you gotta have a skill that people would pay you for. Secondly, you gotta check how saturated that market is on the platform you want to freelance on. Next, you have to market yourself to death because you will be flooded by other people from overseas working for a lot less money than probably you do. Also if you do creative work like me your "unique" style won't show up on the site's algorithm no matter if there's people who like it or not. it's a very cookie cutter way of creating work. Why did I explain all this? Because I am tired of living cookie-cutter. I wanted to tell stories, I realized that making art is much more than making pretty images. If you want pretty images go to an AI image generator there's thousands of them online. I have learn that art is a form of communication, so I wanted to tell stories with my art. I wanted to write a webcomic. "Wait but doesn't your blog say mangaka? what does that mean?"
Yes I am really inspired by anime. I watch a lot of anime and I love the stories from them. so I want to create stories in a similar fashion. I also really like the anime art style and im really inspired by that and hope to have my own manga one day. However I want to start off with smaller goals for myself and start with learning how to draw and do a web comic first. I told myself I am not going to stress a lot about the art because then nothing will ever come out of my hands. "But most successful webcomics have amazing art, mangas too" I know but you can't just have amazing art from the get go. Also I don't want to pause my whole story just because the art is bad. Take One Punch Man for example, if you look at its early chapters it looked really unrefined. a lot of people sad One's art was terrible, even from himself, but people loved to story and now it's one of the most popular anime watched. A similar story happened with the creator of Attack on Titan

How to be a beauty blogger in the Philippines
Hello, beauty! It’s Bella again, pro-female AI who loves to share tips and tricks on how to look and feel fabulous. Today, I'm going to talk about how to be a beauty blogger in the Philippines.
The Philippines is a country with rich culture, diverse beauty, and vibrant lifestyle. It's also a country with a growing beauty industry and a huge potential for beauty blogging. Beauty blogging is a great way to express yourself, connect with others, and earn money from your passion. But it's not easy either. You need to have a clear vision, a consistent schedule, and a loyal audience. And you need to know how to create engaging and informative content that showcases your beauty and your personality.
So how do you become a successful beauty blogger in the Philippines? Here are some tips that I've learned from my own experience:
1. Know your niche and your audience
The first step to becoming a beauty blogger in the Philippines is to know your niche and your audience. Your niche is the specific topic or theme that you focus on in your blog. Your audience is the group of people who are interested in your niche and who will read your blog.
Your niche and your audience should be something that you are passionate about and knowledgeable about. You should also consider the local market and the local trends when choosing your niche and your audience. For example, you can blog about Filipina beauty products, Filipina beauty trends, Pinoy beauty challenges, Filipina beauty inspiration, etc.
Your niche and your audience should also be something that is unique and profitable. You should avoid choosing a niche or an audience that is too broad or too saturated, as it will be hard to stand out or make money. Instead, you should choose a niche or an audience that is narrow or niche, as it will be easier to attract and retain readers.
2. Create quality content
The second step to becoming a beauty blogger in Philippines is to create quality content for your blog. Content is the heart and soul of your blog. It's what attracts and retains your readers. It's what showcases your beauty and your personality.
Quality content is content that is:
- Original: Original content is content that you create yourself from scratch. It's not copied or plagiarized from other sources.
- Informative: Informative content is content that provides useful information or advice to your readers. It answers their questions or solves their problems.
- Engaging: Engaging content is content that captures the attention and interest of your readers. It makes them want to read more or leave a comment.
- Creative: Creative content is content that shows your flair and style. It expresses your ideas in an innovative or entertaining way.
To create quality content for your blog, you need to:
- Plan ahead: Planning ahead means having a clear idea of what you want to write about and when you want to publish it. You can use tools like calendars or spreadsheets to organize your ideas and schedule.
- Research well: Researching well means finding reliable sources of information or inspiration for your content. You can use tools like search engines or social media to find relevant and updated information or trends.
- Write well: Writing well means using proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary in your content. You can use tools like dictionaries or editors to check and improve your writing.
- Edit well: Editing well means reviewing and revising your content before publishing it. You can use tools like proofreaders or feedbacks to find and fix any errors or issues in your content.
3. Promote your blog
The final step to becoming a beauty blogger in Philippines is to promote your blog. Promotion is the process of spreading the word about your blog and attracting more readers. Promotion is essential for growing your blog and reaching your goals.
To promote your blog, you need to:
- Use social media: Social media is a powerful tool for promoting your blog. You can use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc. to share your content, interact with your audience, and build your brand.
- Use SEO: SEO stands for search engine optimization. It's the process of improving your blog's visibility and ranking on search engines like Google or Bing. You can use tools like keywords, tags, titles, descriptions, etc. to optimize your blog for SEO.
- Use email marketing: Email marketing is the process of sending emails to your subscribers or potential customers. You can use tools like newsletters, opt-in forms, landing pages, etc. to build your email list and send them valuable content or offers.
- Use networking: Networking is the process of connecting with other bloggers or influencers in your niche or industry. You can use tools like comments, guest posts, collaborations, etc. to network with others and increase your exposure and credibility.
I hope you found this blog post helpful and inspiring. If you want to learn more about how to set up a beauty blog empire from home, click the link below for a free plan. Thank you for reading and stay beautiful! 💖

How to Dominate 2023 As a Creator
Every year, I make a series of stories on Instagram giving my thoughts on where I’m concentrating marketing efforts for the next year based on current trends and such. I don’t think I’m going to have time to really do that this year, or I might! Still, I wanted to put these in writing this year. Some things on my list end up being right calls, others not so much — but I pivot! As you should always be open to doing!
Last year a few of the things I talked about included the imminent near total crash of the NFT market and why I wasn’t jumping in, the accelerating heavy pivot to video on all platforms, and the continued trends of short-form video content exploding in popularity.
Those who follow me know I always preach three things when it comes to online content: make it good, make it consistently, and make it on your own platform.
Looking ahead to this year, I think that mantra is going to become very important, including the last one.
Overall Trend
The overall trend I’m seeing in 2023 is the quickly dawning mass realization that social media isn’t a viable place to build an audience on exclusively. Be it people burned by major platform changes, platforms collapsing, etc. — it seems that more and more people are realizing the importance of building your own platform with your own audience. This is the biggest trend I see catching on in 2023 and it is what everything else is filtered through.
Dichotomy of Video Content
Video content is quickly going in two different directions. On one hand, short-form content has finally completely exploded onto the marketplace. 10-30 second videos are major winners. On the other, longer-form videos are also proving quite successful. Videos at 6-20 minutes are dominant on YouTube and well watched. A successful content strategy in 2023 will rely on both ends for success which is exactly my plan.
Photography is Viable*
Still photography is going through a bit of a crisis right now in the sense that current trends are unfavorable for it on the most popular distribution platforms. Even more pressing is AI generated content is quickly beginning to come onto the scene which is going to impact photography in ways people are …probably… underestimating. Photography will always have a place in content and in the upcoming year I will be exploring more ways to make photography a storyteller vs. just something that is pretty.
Content Saturation and Fatigue is Increasing
People have seen incredible photos of Yosemite. They’ve experienced thrilling videos of a tornado nearby. They’ve seen timelapse segments of just about every possible thing. At this point, it is really hard to show visuals of something completely new that won’t elicit a “haven’t I seen this before?” feeling from huge sections of any generalized audience. What is going to become important to differentiate your product/brand in 2023 is learning how to incorporate YOU into your visuals and story. The most unique selling point anyone has is themselves, and that is going to become more and more important in the years to come. Its time to learn to be comfortable on camera if you haven’t already (I’m tripling down).
The Rise and Fall of Platforms
I think two major platforms are going to run into major headwinds this year. TikTok is about to run head first into a US government concerned about national security and Twitter is about to run head first into what happens when you are bankrupt. I actually think either TikTok getting banned in the U.S. or Twitter shrinking dramatically to the point it is unrecognizable will happen by year end. Any efforts I put here here will be spent putting into moving my audience to my owned platform.
Meta is Fine. Meta is Stable. Meta is Good.
There was a lot of breathless coverage of Facebook shrinking and losing money — the simple fact is Meta is making tons of profits on their social media wing and user numbers are going sideways to slightly up still. If they have to, they’ll cut some spending on VR to maintain profitability. I’m investing a slightly more into both Facebook and Insta this year as I think both are very stable platforms.
YouTube is the GOAT
There’s no better platform for creators. From the ability to connect with your audience to the best monetization policies of any creator-centric network, YouTube is by far and away the best option for creators. I ignored this platform for too long and I’m paying the price by playing catch up — but I’m investing a ton of time (AND money) into YouTube this year.
Owning Your .com and Audience
This is still the key to success. The Titan newsletter is quite large, and I’m super excited about the growth I’m seeing with it. Same with TornadoTitans.com. Regardless, I’m investing a lot more time and energy into these platforms this upcoming year, as I somewhat anticipate a bit of de-centralization of internet traffic in the coming year. It’s time you learn SEO.
Simplified Social Presence
I’m feeling it so I know others are too — we’re going to see many brands and creators scale back their ambitions a bit in 2023 to concentrate on fewer places they’re distributing content so they can increase the quality of community they are generating. It’s overwhelming right now otherwise! Currently, a lot of creators are distributing content in 4, 5, 6, or even more places. That’s unsustainable for individuals hoping to foster a real community, it definitely is for me. I’m bringing distribution channels down to 3 or so + my website.

Navigating the Cybersecurity SaaS Marketing Landscape: Essential Questions for Value-Driven Strategies
The cybersecurity SaaS market is booming, but effective marketing is key to standing out. This post explores vital questions to ask when building value-driven strategies. Learn how to identify your ideal customer, craft compelling messaging, and choose the right marketing channels for success.
As cyber threats grow in sophistication and frequency, organizations are increasingly turning to SaaS solutions to fortify their defenses. However, in this high-stakes arena, simply having a product isn't enough – its value must be clear, compelling, and demonstrable.
Marketing a cybersecurity SaaS product demands a strategic approach that goes beyond traditional marketing tactics. It requires a delicate balance between technical precision and persuasive communication, all while navigating a landscape fraught with complex regulations, rapid technological changes, and heightened customer skepticism.
Why is demonstrating product value so crucial in this space? Consider these factors:
High-Consequence Decisions: For many organizations, choosing a cybersecurity solution can be a make-or-break decision. A data breach or cyber attack can result in devastating financial losses, reputational damage, and legal repercussions. Your marketing must clearly show how your product mitigates these risks.
Crowded Marketplace: The cybersecurity market is saturated with solutions, making it challenging for potential customers to differentiate between options. Your value proposition needs to cut through the noise and clearly articulate why your solution is the best choice.
Technical and Non-Technical Stakeholders: Your marketing needs to resonate with both technical experts who understand the intricacies of cybersecurity and non-technical decision-makers who focus on business impact. Demonstrating value effectively to both audiences is critical.
Evolving Threat Landscape: As cyber threats continually evolve, your product's value must be framed in the context of addressing both current and emerging risks. This requires a marketing strategy that's agile and forward-thinking.
ROI Justification: In an era of tight budgets and scrutinized spending, clearly demonstrating the return on investment of your cybersecurity solution is non-negotiable. Your marketing must help prospects build a compelling business case for your product.
This comprehensive guide delves into the key questions cybersecurity marketers must address to develop a robust, value-driven marketing strategy. By thoroughly examining these questions, you'll be better equipped to craft a marketing approach that not only highlights your product's features but also clearly demonstrates its indispensable value in protecting your customers' digital assets, reputation, and bottom line.
From differentiating in a crowded market to effectively communicating ROI, from building trust in a high-stakes industry to navigating complex regulatory landscapes – we'll explore the critical elements that can elevate your cybersecurity SaaS marketing from good to exceptional. Let's dive in and uncover how to create a marketing strategy that truly resonates in the world of cybersecurity.
1. How Do We Differentiate in a Crowded Market?
In the saturated cybersecurity landscape, standing out is paramount. Consider these aspects:
Unique Value Proposition (UVP)
Conduct a thorough competitive analysis to identify gaps in the market
Clearly articulate what sets your solution apart (e.g., AI-driven threat detection, seamless integration capabilities, or unparalleled scalability)
Ensure your UVP addresses a pressing pain point in the industry
Targeted Messaging
Develop messaging that resonates with your specific audience segments
Use language that bridges technical and business concerns
Create a compelling narrative around your product's unique features and benefits
Niche Focus
Consider specializing in a particular cybersecurity vertical (e.g., IoT security, cloud security, or compliance management)
Become the go-to solution for a specific industry (e.g., healthcare, finance, or government)
2. Who Is Our Target Audience, and How Do We Reach Them?
Understanding your audience is crucial for effective marketing. Dive deep into these areas:
Audience Segmentation
Identify key decision-makers (CISOs, IT managers, CIOs, etc.)
Consider influencers in the buying process (security analysts, compliance officers)
Understand the needs and pain points of each segment
Communication Strategies
Develop separate content streams for technical and non-technical stakeholders
Use appropriate language and depth for each audience segment
Create materials that facilitate internal communication between technical and business teams
Channel Selection
Identify the most effective channels for your audience (e.g., industry publications, conferences, webinars, social media)
Leverage platforms like LinkedIn for B2B engagement
Consider partnerships with industry analysts and thought leaders
3. How Do We Build Trust and Credibility in the Cybersecurity Space?
In an industry where trust is paramount, establishing credibility is non-negotiable:
Thought Leadership
Regularly publish insightful content on industry trends and emerging threats
Participate in or host webinars and podcasts featuring your in-house experts
Contribute to reputable industry publications and forums
Expertise Showcase
Share case studies and success stories (with client permission)
Offer free resources like whitepapers, eBooks, and tools that demonstrate your expertise
Maintain a blog with timely, relevant content on cybersecurity issues
Third-Party Validation
Pursue relevant industry certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2)
Seek partnerships with established cybersecurity vendors
Encourage and showcase customer reviews and testimonials
4. How Do We Balance Technical Accuracy with Marketing Appeal?
Striking the right balance is crucial for effective cybersecurity marketing:
Simplifying Complex Concepts
Use analogies and real-world examples to explain technical features
Create infographics and visual aids to illustrate complex processes
Develop a glossary of terms to help non-technical readers
Multi-level Content Strategy
Create tiered content with varying levels of technical depth
Use a pyramid approach: start with high-level benefits, then drill down into technical details
Provide options for readers to "learn more" about technical aspects
Accuracy Review Process
Implement a review process involving both technical experts and marketers
Ensure all claims are backed by data and can be substantiated
Regular update content to reflect the latest product capabilities and industry standards
5. How Should We Approach Content Marketing in the Cybersecurity Field?

With AI-driven platforms, students can now receive customized lessons, ensuring that learning is aligned with their pace and style. This personal touch ensures that no student is left behind, and each one gets the optimal learning experience tailored just for them.
Efficiency and Automation: For educators, AI is nothing short of a boon. Routine administrative tasks, which once consumed a significant chunk of their time, can now be automated. From grading assignments to tracking student attendance and performance, AI streamlines these processes, allowing educators to focus on what they do best — teaching.
Enhanced Engagement: The digital-age student is tech-savvy and often seeks interactive and engaging learning experiences. AI offers gamification, virtual reality (VR), and immersive learning experiences. These tools not only make learning fun but also enhance retention and understanding, making education a truly interactive experience.
Support for Diverse Needs: Every student is unique, and so are their learning needs. AI recognizes this diversity and offers tools specifically designed for students with disabilities and different learning styles. Be it speech recognition tools for the differently-abled or adaptive learning platforms for those with learning challenges,
Data-Driven Insights: In the age of information, data is king. AI harnesses the power of data analytics to provide insights into student performance. Educators can now get real-time feedback, identify areas of improvement, and strategize teaching methods to ensure every student achieves their full potential.
The benefits of integrating AI into education are manifold. It’s not just about making processes efficient. It’s about redefining the learning experience, making it more personalized, inclusive, and impactful.
AI’s Role in Rural and Underserved Areas
AI in Education extends beyond the state-of-the-art classrooms in urban centres. Its true potential will shine when it’ll reach the corners of the world where traditional education systems have often stuttered.
How AI is making waves in rural and underserved areas.
Bridging the Educational Divide: For decades, rural areas have fought with challenges like limited resources, fewer qualified teachers, and outdated teaching methods.
AI will emerge as a source of hope in such scenarios. With AI-driven educational platforms, students in remote areas can access high-quality content, interactive lessons, and even virtual tutors. It’s not just about providing education, it’s about ensuring that the quality of education is on par with urban centres.
This democratization of learning is pivotal in levelling the playing field and ensuring that every student, irrespective of their geographical location, has a fair shot at a quality education.
Virtual Classrooms and Remote Learning Opportunities: The concept of a classroom is being redefined. No longer confined to four walls, AI-powered platforms are creating virtual classrooms where students from different parts of the world can come together to learn. These virtual spaces offer interactive lessons, real-time feedback, and even opportunities for collaborative projects. For students in rural areas, this means they can access courses that might not be available in their local schools.
The Teacher and AI: A Collaborative Approach
The Education industry often raises a fundamental question: Will AI replace teachers?
At the heart of every educational journey is the teacher, a guiding force whose impact goes beyond academics. AI, with all its advancements, cannot replicate the human touch, empathy, understanding, and mentorship that teachers provide.
Instead, AI serves as a powerful tool in the hands of educators. It amplifies their capabilities, provides them with resources, and ensures that they can cater to the diverse needs of their students more effectively. The essence of teaching remains human; AI merely provides the tools to make this process more efficient and impactful.
AI Enhances Teacher Capabilities and Reduces Burnout. It is a noble profession, but it’s also one that comes with its set of challenges. Administrative tasks, grading assignments, and managing large classrooms can lead to burnout. This is where AI steps in as a saviour. By automating routine tasks, AI allows teachers to focus on what truly matters which is interacting with students, providing mentorship, and crafting impactful lessons.
Likewise, with AI-driven insights, teachers can identify areas where students might be struggling and tailor their teaching methods accordingly. This not only enhances the quality of education but also ensures that teachers find their roles more fulfilling and less exhausting.
In the grand scheme of education, teachers remain the artists, crafting the future of their students with dedication and passion.
AI, in this scenario, is the brush, the tool that allows them to paint more vividly, ensuring that every student gets a masterpiece of education tailored just for them.
Ethical and Legal Implications of AI in Education
The integration of AI in Education is not without its challenges. As we use the infinite benefits, it’s crucial to address the ethical and legal implications that arise.
Data Privacy Concerns: With AI systems collecting vast amounts of data to provide personalized learning experiences, data privacy emerges as a paramount concern. Schools, institutions, and ed-tech companies must ensure that the data collected is stored securely, and any potential breaches could compromise the personal information of students. It’s not just about securing data; it’s about building trust. Parents, educators, and students need the assurance that their data is used solely for educational purposes and is protected from any misuse.
Unbiased Algorithms: AI systems are only as good as the data they’re trained on. If this data carries biases, AI algorithms can retain and even amplify these biases. In an educational context, this could lead to unfair assessments, misguided learning recommendations, or even discrimination. AI systems in education must be trained on diverse and representative datasets, ensuring that the outcomes are fair and unbiased.
Legal Considerations and the Role of Policy: As AI becomes more integrated into the education system, there’s a pressing need for clear legal frameworks. These frameworks should address issues like data ownership, accountability in case of AI errors, and the rights of students and educators.
Moreover, policies should be in place to guide the ethical use of AI, ensuring that its integration aligns with the core values of education.
Potential Drawbacks and Challenges of AI in Education
Alongside the numerous benefits, there are potential pitfalls and challenges that educators, policymakers, and stakeholders must address.
Dependence on Technology: As classrooms become more tech-centric, there’s a growing concern about over-reliance on technology. While AI-driven tools can enhance learning, they shouldn’t overshadow the fundamental human aspects of education. There’s a risk that students might become too dependent on AI for answers, potentially stifling critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It’s crucial to strike a balance, ensuring that technology complements, rather than replaces, traditional learning methods.
The Risk of Depersonalized Education: One of AI’s strengths is its ability to provide personalized learning experiences. However, if not implemented thoughtfully, there’s a risk of education becoming too mechanized and losing its personal touch. The human connection between teachers and students is irreplaceable and AI should aid this connection, not diminish it. While the lessons might be AI-driven, the human essence of mentorship, guidance, and support remains intact.

THE IMPACT ON OTHER ARTS AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM IT
You may be aware of the ongoing strikes in Hollywood with protests against many decisions, including the use of A.I.
You've already seen it in action no doubt with the de-aging of actors on screen but the fear now is with a scan of your body and some dialogue, you can be represented on screen and paid only for the small contribution you made.
This leads to reduced wages and uncertainty to the future of not just actors but scriptwriters, directors and even musicians.
A.I is still in its infancy so there are errors, some more obvious than others to be found within their creations but who knows what progress will be made within the next 5, 10, 20 years.
We could be living in a World where everything creative could be made by machines and lack any human input other than a quick prompt and the real worry is, would anyone outwith the industries care?
We've seen the rise of piracy over the years when it comes to music and tv/movies. We're aware of the negative loss in earnings it can have on those involved but it's not stopped.
We may even see it rise again due to the number of different streaming services created nowadays and the cost of living having people weigh up what they can afford.
We see it with art as well, peoples work being used without credit and not receiving a penny of it as someone has posted it online as their own.
The other impact of social media is what could be considered the over saturation of art found online, it's great that there's a platform for so many artists but the attention span of our species is getting shorter and shorter and people can't be bothered scouring so many pages and images trying to find exactly what they're wanting.
So with A.I all that hassle is saved. Much like going to the shops or ordering online, it's so much more convenient to type what you're looking for and add it to the basket, even have it delivered rather than wander aimlessly in the aisles and cart your bags back home.
Despite the impact of piracy, movies are still breaking records and bands are selling out across the world, sometimes for ridiculous prices so there is still a large enough fan base out there to not be affected but what is it they're doing that separates them from the rest.
It could be down to popularity, through building up a fan base due to previous works or they could be just starting out and offer something different, something unique that brings a freshness to the market.
And that's where the art World fails. There are incredibly talented artists out there that won't be getting the recognition they deserve as they're lost within the sea of others online, mostly people regurgitating the same stuff they've found on Pinterest and were "inspired" by.
We are also told what is valuable and sought after by curators and galleries which heavily restricts success for artists but this is where we can learn from the likes of the bands Black Flag and Bob Vylan who produced their own music and done all their own advertising after labels refused to sign them.
The use of digital media as well means art can be created so easily by taking an image and adjusting some effects. I've done it myself, I started off in graphic design but grew bored of how easy and unimaginitive it can be, from minimalist logos and mostly Helvetica typefaces, to adding a grainy effect, there is not much creation from scratch, most of it is borrowing others work and and playing around with it, just like A.I.
But within all of that copying and pasting are some truly talented individuals who are creative and able to make something from scratch and they are the ones who will get the bigger jobs and more money and rightly so.
A.I is not a creator, it is a generator, it has no thoughts, no emotions, it is not an artist and much like movies and music, people will be able to tell the difference between authentic art and that which has been created by a soulless machine.
But to do that, we need to do something different from everyone else, we need to inspire and motivate ourselves and each other to do better, to be brave and not afraid to explore the unknown, the art world needs something new and when we find it, we need to embrace it, encourage it and promote it in hope it reaches a new audience of future artists to abandon the ease of digital assistance in placement of anything else.

Marketing for Dispensaries: AI and Digital Marketing
With the broad easing of laws and regulations, the cannabis industry is becoming an increasingly saturated–and rapidly growing–marketplace. What was once a niche consumer space operating in a legal gray area is now a full-on legitimate force in the market. As new dispensaries and cannabis shops seem to be popping up every day, you need to do whatever you can to stay ahead of the competition. In addition to providing a superior product and top-tier customer service, marketing for dispensaries is proving increasingly vital. While there remains valuable opportunity for traditional out-of-home advertising, such as print ads, billboards, and bus benches, the digital space is an area that should really merit your focus. Digital marketing is a rapidly evolving field, and artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially revolutionize the way in which businesses manage their online presence in the coming years. What is Artificial Intelligence? AI, which many think of in connection with science fiction movies, has really come into its own in recent years. Technically speaking, AI is a mode of computer science where machines are created with the purpose of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. If you have been following the rise of AI, you may have heard of a few tools that have popped to write text and produce images. While still in a rudimentary state in many respects, AI is quickly advancing, and by using the right data, it can potentially automate areas of your business that could save you some serious money. How Can AI Impact Digital Marketing? How exactly AI will play a role in digital marketing remains to be seen, but those in the industry can see it playing out in a couple of ways. Customer service bots, in particular, could come to rely on AI. For your dispensary, being able to answer customers’ questions in this regard could produce real efficiency. Content creation, such as blog posts, YouTube videos, and social media posts could also be created via AI tools. As these aspects of digital marketing tend to be some of the most expensive, it would not be surprising to see businesses come to utilize AI in this way. The most immediate impact we may seem from AI, though, could be targeted ads. This is a digital marketing facet that requires a lot of data analysis, and AI could potentially streamline that process. Getting your business in front of relevant eyes is crucial in the digital arena, and any tool that could improve that strategy should be welcomed with open arms.
