Talking to GenAI Changed How I Engage with People

🌟 Using GenAI Brings Us Closer

Engaging with generative AI (GenAI) has transformed the way I approach conversations, not just with machines but with people as well.

Through my interactions with GenAI, I discovered the importance of asking deeper, more thoughtful questions. This practice has not only improved my conversations with AI but has also spilled over into my human interactions, making them more meaningful and insightful.

For instance, I recently needed information about marketing from someone who I know is really good at it. Before using GenAI, I would have approached the person with my question and not provide much context or ask any questions. After learning how to more effectively use GenAI, I first asked the person a few questions about the topic, then provided some context as to why I needed the information, then asked for the information.

The interaction was very different from previous ones and we had a much more in-depth conversation. I actually learned more than I expected because I asked those initial questions!

This lesson underscores the value of curiosity in all forms of communication. By consciously deciding to ask more and better questions, we can have a richer exchange of ideas with each other. And it is not just about getting answers; it's about exploring the thought processes and perspectives behind those answers.

So, how can you incorporate this into your conversations?

Start by embracing a mindset of curiosity in every interaction, whether it's with colleagues, friends, or even GenAI. Challenge yourself to go beyond surface-level exchanges. This simple exercise can dramatically transform the quality of your interactions. And by adopting a more inquisitive approach, inspired by how you are learning to interact with GenAI, you are likely to discover new facets of people and topics alike.

Let's make this week about unlocking the potential of every conversation with the power of questions. 🏆

🦾  A Tiny Caribbean Island Cashes in on the AI Boom

The island of Anguilla hit the AI jackpot. And it is not because they sell more robots or own ChatGPT. It is because the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) assigned them the “.ai” internet domain back in 1995. Any organization that wants to register a domain ending in “.ai”, which is very popular right now, has to pay Anguilla the registration fee. This fee runs between $150-175 per year. A typical .com or .us domain is about $15-20 per year.

In 2023, Anguilla earned $7.4 million from .ai domain registrations. It is estimated that they will earn between $25-30 Million in 2024, which represents about 15% of their GDP. Not bad for an island of about 16,000 people. 🏝️
