Debunking Myths about Generative AI

 This would effectively dispel the common misconceptions about generative AI. What are people envisioning generative AI to be? A helper that creates everything from text to images! And with its fast evolution, most myths must be debunked. One of them is that generative AI is conscious or sentient. These models produce text with human-direction quality-similar output but are essentially advanced algorithms of pattern matching with virtually no actual understanding or self-awareness at all.2 They are trained on enormous amounts of datasets but are not rational like humans.


Another myth is that generative AI will render human creativity totally obsolete.3 Some creative work might be automated and available for its new methods in the hands of artists, but generative AI cannot replace human ingenuity entirely.4 Human creativity emerged from feelings, experiences, and a great sense of context, which appears to be far beyond the capabilities of present AI.5 Instead, it will enhance human creativity and capture contemporary collaborative work.6

There's another fear of mass unemployment. Yes, of course, some repetitive jobs walking off due to generative AI, that goes without saying. But history will demonstrate that new employment opportunities are created alongside established ones are rendered obsolete by fresh technology.7 We will maybe soon observe opportunities for work being created with generative AI improvements in AI construction, upkeep, and moral supervision and yet retain all the aptitude work which requires advanced problem-solving, higher-order thinking, and emotional competence to human hands.8

Only part of the mystique believes generative AI is innately biased, but not too much. These AI systems are trained on data, and if the data contains prejudice that is present in society, it will likely reinforce the bias in the outputs.9 It is a fact that researchers are stuck on this as it is an acknowledged technical problem and are developing techniques for minimizing bias in the data that is to be trained and the model outputs.10 By acknowledging the bias and then addressing it, we can strive towards designs for more equitable and fairer AI systems.

Introduction to Visual Studio Code for Education

Visual Studio Code is a popular open-source code editor developed by Microsoft that has excellent flexibility is easy to learn and use, and offers numerous features. While it has inarguably taken the lead among professional developers, it has also been given considerable recognition in the education space by revolutionizing the learning and teaching processes of programming. In that case, the free VS Code presents an opportunity through accessibility, simplicity, and universality of high-cost customizing its features, which is an extremely valuable choice for learning programming in different kinds of institutions of learning.  One of the key sweeter benefits of using VS Code in education is the lightweight nature of the application. Unlike the more hefty IDEs, VS Code installs quickly, runs fast across a plethora of devices, and supports many programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, C++, and Java. It enables students to write, run, and debug code in a single environment, ...
