Harnessing AI For A Philatelic Presentation

I have put together a short (10 minutes) video which demonstrates how basic philatelic presentations can be generated using simple Artificial Intelligence tools.

Given the AI negative press, I realize that some folks might immediately dismiss this topic. But AI possesses the capacity to transform the philatelic hobby, streamlining stamp identification processes, bolstering research and searching capabilities, and offering collectors valuable tools and resources to elevate their experience.

And truthfully AI is already ubiquitous, and we are all using it every day even if we are not aware of it. Many applications, including Power Point, already support AI. Familiarizing yourself with the optimal ways to leverage AI in your 'tool bag' will pave the way for enhanced productivity as you move forward.

Can be viewed full screen by clicking on the icon in the lower right of the YouTube video or pressing the F key on your keyboard one the video starts.

Feedback welcome.

I'm expecting to read hysterics from at least one member in 3… 2… 1…

Wow - amazing to those of us with limited tech abilities. Thanks for sharing.

hi Don - Very nice job.

It seems like maybe a whole section on stamp smarter, geared towards AI, and adoption of such might be appropriate, starting with this video.

Just a thought.

Thank guys.

txstamp,
I am working towards PowerPoint presentation 'How To' videos targeted at stamp collectors who are interested in leaving behind some of their experiences and knowledge for others. I am also available to help others if they have existing, or planned presentations. I currently am using both Zoom and TeamViewer as training aids with a number of philatelists; we use remote access to view our computer screen and step through various tasks they would like to implement in their presentations.

Very nice, thanks! This is a great general introduction to using ChatGPT to bootstrap the painful process of creating presentation and related slides from scratch. Also appreciate the warning about verifying information. Like virtually everyone, I've had the experience of AI generating a well-written and seemingly plausible and authoritative response that is in fact very much incorrect.

Piqued by Don's choice of air mail for his demonstration of using AI for philatelic purposes, I just created an hilariously inept (unintended) series of questions and answers about Hap Arnold's role in carrying air mail at the 1911 Nassau Boulevard air meet. It hardly ever got any of the facts right, and kept apologizing as I corrected it. I've used ChatGPT a fair bit and and do find it intriguing, and even useful, but this, and several other previous episodes, have taught me not to take any "factual" assertions at face value, and to double-check anything ChatGPT has to say about matters. That said, Don's video was very educational, and taught me several new things to explore in using ChatGPT. My thought and advice about using ChatGPT (and other AI apps) is not to depend upon it to become a "knowledge expert" about something, but that it can be useful (as Don shows) in presenting "expert knowledge" to others. It is dangerous in the hands of those who do not know the subject matter, but useful to those that do.
