Have you ever wondered how AI, or artificial intelligence, works? Is it like magic, or can it read your mind? Well, it’s not magic, and it can’t read minds, but it is pretty amazing! AI is like a super-smart computer that can learn and make decisions by looking at a huge amount of information.
AI learns by analyzing billions of pieces of data. Think of it like a giant puzzle with lots of pieces. AI looks at all these pieces and figures out how they fit together using math. It does this over and over again, billions of times, to understand patterns and connections between things, like words or songs.
For example, my team uses AI to find connections between songs and artists. This helps services like Amazon Music suggest the next song you might like. Sometimes, the AI’s choice might surprise you because it’s based on patterns from billions of data points, not just your personal taste.
Imagine you’re watching a sunset. What colors do you see? If you asked a billion people, you’d get lots of different answers. AI works in a similar way when you choose emojis to create effects. It might not always match what you imagined, but that’s okay! You have some cool options to play with.
Here are some things you can do if the AI-generated effect isn’t quite right:
By experimenting with these options, you can work together with AI to create the perfect effect. What kind of customization will you try next?
Imagine you’re a DJ using AI to create the perfect playlist. Choose a few of your favorite songs and use an online AI music recommendation tool to find new songs you might like. Share your playlist with the class and explain why you think the AI suggested those songs.
AI learns by solving puzzles with lots of pieces. Create a puzzle using a large image cut into many pieces. Work in groups to solve the puzzle, and discuss how this activity is similar to how AI learns from data.
Use an AI tool to create art using emojis. Choose a theme, like a sunset or a cityscape, and let the AI generate an image. Compare your AI-generated art with your classmates’ creations and discuss the different patterns and styles the AI used.
Write a short story with the help of an AI writing tool. Start with a few sentences, and let the AI continue the story. Share your AI-assisted story with the class and talk about how the AI’s suggestions surprised or inspired you.
Experiment with an AI tool that allows customization. Try regenerating an effect, customizing it, and starting over with new inputs. Document your process and present your findings to the class, explaining how each change affected the outcome.
[Music] How do you think AI works? Can it read your mind? Is it magic? Is it randomly guessing? Actually, AI knows quite a lot. It analyzes billions of data points and finds associations between words using some simple mathematical concepts applied billions of times. It calculates the strength of those associations and then uses what it learned to make decisions about what to generate for you.
My team uses AI to look for associations between songs and artists to ensure that Amazon Music recommends the best next songs. Sometimes, those decisions aren’t the same ones you would make because AI is making associations based on billions of data points.
Imagine a sunset. What color do you see? If you ask this question to billions of people, you would get many different answers. When you choose three emojis, AI may generate effects that are not quite what you imagined. You have a few options:
The first thing you can do is regenerate the effects based on the same emojis you already chose. You can also customize the effect generated by the AI by clicking the “use code” button, which will give you two new blocks in your workspace. Lastly, you can click on “start over” to choose a new set of emojis. You can work with AI to create the perfect effect. What customization will you make?
