BALT 4396 - WEEK 4: AI Data Generation

Every few weeks or so, whenever my mom asks my dad that we have groceries to stock up on he either always asks how much she needs or after he gives a certain amount or gives his credit card, he complains about how much my mom spent. He forgets inflation exists in today's economy but this has been ongoing conversation for years. I asked Chat GPT to generate a data table for me with the data of 12 month food expenses for groceries in a household.

Here is the total spent for each month. (I tried adding screenshots from my laptop to show exactly what my results looked like but technical difficulties so here is the data copied & pasted from Chat GPT.)

MonthGrocery Expenses ($)
January350
February420
March390
April470
May310
June450
July380
August520
September340
October480
November400

December550

I then asked to include specifics of what was bought and how much it costed. 

January ($350)

  • Fruits: $50
  • Vegetables: $40
  • Dairy: $60
  • Meat/Fish: $80
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $120

February ($420)

  • Fruits: $60
  • Vegetables: $50
  • Dairy: $70
  • Meat/Fish: $100
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $140

March ($390)

  • Fruits: $45
  • Vegetables: $50
  • Dairy: $65
  • Meat/Fish: $90
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $140

April ($470)

  • Fruits: $70
  • Vegetables: $60
  • Dairy: $80
  • Meat/Fish: $100
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $160

May ($310)

  • Fruits: $40
  • Vegetables: $50
  • Dairy: $60
  • Meat/Fish: $80
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $80

June ($450)

  • Fruits: $60
  • Vegetables: $55
  • Dairy: $70
  • Meat/Fish: $110
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $155

July ($380)

  • Fruits: $50
  • Vegetables: $50
  • Dairy: $70
  • Meat/Fish: $90
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $120

August ($520)

  • Fruits: $70
  • Vegetables: $60
  • Dairy: $90
  • Meat/Fish: $130
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $170

September ($340)

  • Fruits: $45
  • Vegetables: $50
  • Dairy: $60
  • Meat/Fish: $80
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $105

October ($480)

  • Fruits: $70
  • Vegetables: $60
  • Dairy: $80
  • Meat/Fish: $120
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $150

November ($400)

  • Fruits: $55
  • Vegetables: $50
  • Dairy: $70
  • Meat/Fish: $100
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $125

December ($550)

  • Fruits: $80
  • Vegetables: $70
  • Dairy: $90
  • Meat/Fish: $150
  • Other Essentials (snacks, grains, etc.): $160
After this data, I asked for it to give me a data table along with the average expenses. It then gave me it super detailed with the average for each food category. However, the average total amount that is spent on groceries per month is $287. This seems very reasonable for today's time and economy. AI can be very helpful whenever someone is in doubt on day to day technical or logistical things.

BALT 4396 - Week 7 - Logos & AI

Image
In Week 7, I looked at the advantages of utilizing AI for logo creation and how it might help businesses. Artificial intelligence allows businesses to generate logos that reflect their personality and sector without the need for expensive human designers. For example, I utilized AI to swiftly create a logo for Instructional ABA Consultants (IABA), which is the ABA company I work for to give children with Autism therapy. This logo incorporates themes of child growth and behavioral advancement. AI logos are an excellent answer for startups because of their speed and cost-effectiveness. They help businesses to retain brand consistency across platforms. However, while AI provides numerous benefits, there are significant ethical problems to address. This week's readings highlighted how relying heavily on AI might disrupt creative industries and impact livelihoods, particularly for designers in developing nations. While AI-generated logos are quick and inexpensive, they can eliminate the...

This week, I had the opportunity to listen to Professor Kelsey’s audio recording, which provided a comprehensive recap of our course so far. The recording was filled with valuable insights and key takeaways that I found particularly enlightening.
