Artificial Intelligence — Richard Golian

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how we work, create and solve problems. In these articles I examine generative AI, machine learning, automation and the broader consequences of these technologies. #futureofwork #aidangers #teachingaitounderstand

I am teaching an AI agent to forecast orders. So far, 9 things wrong.

Yesterday I could not tear myself away from the computer. When I lifted my head, it was half past eight in the evening. I had been sitting alone upstairs for about three hours.

Will AI Take My Job? A Head of Performance After 22 Months

Will AI take my job? A certified Google trainer told me in June 2024 that my profession would cease to exist. Twenty-two months later, my job title has not changed — but ninety percent of what I do during the day is different. I have delegated more of my thinking to AI agents than I thought possible. I am not afraid. This is why, and what it means for anyone asking the same question.

A Software Firm Quoted €50,000. I Built It With Claude Code in Two Hours.

One hour. Fifty-five minutes. That is how long it took to build what a Czech software firm had quoted at over €50,000. I built it with Claude Code. Not a prototype. Not a proof of concept. A working tool — the one the company actually needed. By the evening of the same day, it was running on staging. This is not about Claude Code. It is about what Claude Code exposes.

Is AI Making Us Dumber? What 150 Job Interviews Revealed

I have conducted roughly one hundred and fifty practical interviews over the past four years. Fifty for data specialist roles. A hundred for advertising and performance marketing specialists. Almost every one of them involved sitting down with a candidate over a practical task — something close to a real problem we actually need to solve at the company. Not theory. Not trivia. Applied problem-solving. Over time, I started noticing a pattern.

How Is Artificial Intelligence Different from Human Intelligence?

When we hear artificial intelligence, many people imagine something mysterious. Something that thinks. Something that understands. It does not. I work with AI every day and the more I use it, the clearer the truth becomes: artificial intelligence is applied mathematics. It predicts what the next word should be. That is the entire mechanism.

My First Impressions of Generative AI — and Why It Left Me Feeling Empty

While it saved me a significant amount of time, it had an unintended consequence.
25 March 2023 4 444
Artificial intelligence is no longer a niche topic. It is reshaping how companies operate, how people work, and how decisions are made at every level. These articles go beyond surface-level AI hype. They explore what generative AI actually does, where it falls short, and what happens when machines start doing the things we thought only humans could do — from writing and analysis to creative work and strategic thinking. If you are trying to understand AI honestly, without the sales pitch, this is a good place to start.

Common questions about this topic?

What is generative AI and how does it differ from traditional AI?
Generative AI creates new content — text, images, code — by learning patterns from existing data. Traditional AI follows predefined rules or classifies data. Generative models like GPT or Claude can produce original outputs, which makes them both more powerful and harder to predict.
Will AI replace human jobs?
AI will transform most knowledge work, not just manual labor. Jobs that involve pattern recognition, data processing and routine decisions are most at risk. But roles requiring genuine creativity, ethical judgment and deep human understanding will remain — at least for now.
What are the biggest risks of artificial intelligence?
The risks go beyond job losses. They include mass-scale disinformation, erosion of critical thinking, concentration of power in a few companies, and the subtle loss of meaning when machines can do what we thought made us special.
Can AI be creative?
AI can produce outputs that look creative — art, music, writing. But it operates by recombining patterns from training data. Whether that counts as creativity depends on your definition. What AI still cannot do is have genuine motivation, personal experience, or the kind of existential urgency that drives human creative work.
