"Wow, this place is... nice."
I cringed inwardly as soon as the words left my mouth. 'Nice' didn't even begin to capture the charm of the bar & grill where my friend and I were having dinner.
Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? Struggling to articulate the beauty around you, knowing your words fall woefully short? What if I told you that the solution to this age-old problem was sitting right in your pocket, just waiting to expand your sensory vocabulary?
I reached out to the AI Telegram bot that I had been working on and took a photo. Seconds later it gave me a description that was so much more accurate and expressive than anything I could have possibly came up with.
Welcome to the world of AI-enhanced perception, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the indescribable finds its voice. It was as though we suddenly had an Interior Designer friend sitting with us.
The 5 senses that we use to experience this world are truly amazing. Many of us are blessed to have all 5 of them, and some have better affinity to some senses than others. But the thing is, we are all limited by our own experiences and our own vocabulary. We can only express what we have seen, heard, tasted, touched or smelled based on the time and effort we put into learning about them.
The state of AI Vision models has come a long way, and it is as easy as just using ChatGPT to help us see the world in a different light. The example I gave above was simply having 1 of our senses enhanced, and I believe you can already start to imagine the difference.
What if AI could also be there do more to enlighten our other senses?
About 5 years ago, I attended my first Barista Course and during the tasting session, all I could discern was that the coffee I made wasn't any way near the coffee the instructor made. To my untrained palate, the sweetness, bitterness, acidity and body of the coffee were all just a blur.
If there was an AI that could help me bridge the gap and truly help me understand the tastes, maybe just maybe I would have proceeded a lot further with the craft.
Now, I'm not sure if I'm interested to know the finer intricacies of the smell of a fart, however just imagining the world in this manner is nothing short of exciting.
The world in front of us is more beautiful than we can express. It's time we learned its language.

Instructions
A question I often hear when discussing AI is, "Doesn't it just make you lazy?" It's a valid concern, however after extensive use, I can confidently say that the opposite is true. It's a really powerful tool for personal growth and productivity.
In fact, when it came to coding I've achieved 50% more than I would have without it. (Read more about it here).
Even in everyday tasks like writing emails, the whole experience has changed. Instead of trudging through the process in a solo manner, I now have a tireless collaborator always ready to brainstorm, critique and provide options to me.
My knowledge is being expanded, and my skills are being honed.
Gone are the days when you stopped short of improving because of prejudice, "I'm busy right now, let me get back to you" or "I'm not sure how to help you with that". AI is always there, and it's always ready to help.
Are you ready to see the extraordinary in the ordinary? Your journey to enhanced perception starts now. Choose your AI companion and dive into a more beautiful, richly described world!
