We have brought over Shweta's Tech Bro, Shubham to talk about AI and explain it to us and all noobs 😱 What is AI? What does AI do? Can AI replace humans and in what ways? We kicked off with how Open AI started, as a research project and now how its gone commercial. Moving from ChatGPT and Dall.E to the depths of how non text output can be enhanced with inpainting & out painting and the amazing outputs generated by apps like MidJourney & Canva. The importance of editing trails and logs for AI generated images, docs, etc. Different generative AI apps ChatGPT 3.5 or 4, Google's Bard and their applications & use cases and commercial applications. We came up with how AI can be applied to Prachitas's mind (listen to the Aaoo overthink karein!! episode if you haven't yet, here https://open.spotify.com/episode/56fhhHQzIEikXW2XTVwghR?si=fb45f4b0cce646fc) & some desi applications of AI too 😉.

Prachita & Shweta have several new moms as friends and we are also getting into the full swing of admission seasons and that's why we have on board a primary school educator👩🏫 Nupur has several years of experience as an educator and has been a co-teacher working with Prachita years back, during her short stint as an educator. Nupur is also a mom and this makes her the perfect fit for this episode as she can be in both shoes, Parent and Educator 🙌😯 The three of us started talking about our respective student life and how childrens behaviour in school evolved from ours to Nupurs sons generation and now the many classes of students Nupur teaches. We took a look into a typical work day for Nupur and current teaching methods. How the focus of learning has shifted, the whole interactive and creative push. Nupur explained current classroom strengths and how that impacts the children and the educators and we contrasted this with the current situation in government schools. Nupur and Prachita shared some of their Parent teacher meeting (PTM) stories and some mischevious children behaviour 😬🤪 Ofcourse we discussed the big C (COVID) and how things changed for the educators and school going children during these times 😧😜 and saught Nupurs views on tuitions.
