What is Artificial Intelligence? Is it sentient? [no] Will it replace humans? [it is a tool that humans can use]. David from the Hub Library entertained and informed our members about AI at a recent meeting. He compared the Copilot and Gemini software, showed us how to write an effective prompt [and what goes wrong when is is too general] and shared some security 'never dos'.

David showed us how AI can generate a spreadsheet [including formulas] with a simple series of instructions. His hilarious images illustrating the power of AI [and its hallucinations] were very funny and illustrative of how to spot an AI generated image. [Look for anything that is 'wrong', eg 5 strings on a guitar instead of 6, odd looking hands or things in the wrong place.

David's AI instructions 'to explain at the level of a 10 year old' were helpful and easy for us to understand.

Thank you David and company for spending your evening with us to demystify a topic that many of us are concerned about today.

This paragraph was neither AI generated nor edited. This 10 year old isn't quite that confident.

Terry thanking David for his visit.

MAKING YOUR MARK AT PIMPALA SCHOOL

Pimpala School invited our Rotary Club to attend their Community Awareness Day event. We set up opportunities for students to print their hands on canvas boards and take them home. There were wet wipes and a handwashing station to clean painty fingers. Parents came along to ask questions of Rotary members and we distributed information about our Rotary youth programs and free water.

The evening was over all too soon as parents went home with a momento of their child's colourful hand print and the school was keen to have us back again next year.

Thank you President Phil, Cheryle, Merilyn, Marion and Shaun for getting painty in a good cause.
