In a world where AI has become as ubiquitous as towels are to interstellar hitchhikers (ifykyk), one developer stands ready to guide you through the galaxy of possibilities and pitfalls. Enter Christopher Moravec, a persistent problem-solver who has mastered the art of fitting square pegs into round holes with the power of imagination and a dash of AI-powered duct tape.
“Don’t Panic, It’s Just AI: A Developer’s Handbook” is your essential guide to navigating the often bewildering landscape of artificial intelligence. More controversial than Oolon Colluphid’s trilogy of philosophical blockbusters “Where AI Came From,” “Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes,” and “Who is this Siri Person Anyway?“, this handbook is a must-have for any developer looking to harness the power of AI without resorting to drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters to cope with the absurdity of it all.
Through real-world examples and live demonstrations, Christopher will show you how to wield AI as a tool for empowerment rather than (or in addition to) a source of existential dread. From GeoAI to Large Language Models, you’ll learn to make sense of it all and put AI to work in your projects. Discover how to use chatbots to write code (because even the Geospatial Insanity Systems Corporation needs a little help sometimes), generate names for your map layers (goodbye, “Layer1_copy_final_final2“), and even create presentations on the fly (like this one!).
But, the story of this keynote is only a small part of the greater wisdom that Christopher will impart. You’ll also learn what AI is, what it’s not so good at, and when to leave it out of your toolkit, ensuring that you remain the master of your digital domain.
So, whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting your journey, join Christopher for a wild ride through the galaxy of AI possibilities. It’s time to stop panicking and start problem-solving! Remember: Don’t Panic, and always know where your towel is.
