In closing: Poe, the AI Lab in Our Hands
As I looked into Poe, I realized that this is not just a simple AI chat app. Rather, it is like a small AI OTT that is in each of our hands.
It’s amazing to think about. Just a few years ago, cutting-edge AI technology was the exclusive domain of large corporations and research institutes. But now, we can test various AIs ourselves and even create our own AIs.
Of course, Poe is not perfect. The limitations and ethical issues of AI still remain as homework. However, it is certainly a great advancement that these tools allow us to understand and experience AI more closely.
