Ein Baum und seine Abenteuer



The thing about language

One important topic for myself is language.

You will soon notice that my blog will be mostly English and sometime German. At least that is what I think will happen.

 

But how come?

Well a lot of times I think in English. Sometime because I am reading in English and think about it, sometimes because it helps to see a bigger picture if you think in "not your native language" and sometime just because I feel like it. Adding unto that some content of this blog will be a different version of something I release on English speaking forums or generally tutorials about tech related things. For these topics I find English to be more appropriate, as it finds a bigger audience and other related documents are usually English.

Sometimes however things will be in German. When I happen to experience something culture related, or talk about holidays. Things like that will be in German.

 

There will be tags for the language used in a post so just use those if you only want one language.

Generative AI is here to stay!

"A path into the AI future" - generated using Midjourney

Some reflections on what 2022 showed us about the future.

Generative AI describes AI that takes a prompt and generates something from it. Prime examples include Copilot which takes code or comments as a prompt to complete the code I want to write, ChatGPT which takes a chat message and replies with a human-like answer and Stable-Diffusion (or Dall-E, or Midjourney) which takes a prompt and returns a fitting image. All of these AIs made massive progress in 2022!
