And: Could the year 2023 be the beginning of a new age of AI?

When reading the headline, you will ask yourself how one is connected to the other or whether there is even a mistake? Well, I will enlighten you in the course of this blog.

The start of a new year is always exciting. It is the perfect opportunity to make healthy resolutions and prepare for change. One of the most common resolutions is to live healthier and lose weight. But most good resolutions made at the turn of the year are not kept for very long, and so it may well be that just a few weeks after a new year has begun, all good resolutions are thrown overboard due to lack of time, feasibility or missing positive effects. However, Palatinose™ can help us achieve our goals.

Palatinose™, or isomaltulose, is a so-called “slow sugar” derived from sugar beets. Unlike conventional sugar, which is quickly absorbed into the blood and boosts insulin production, Palatinose™ is released more slowly. This means that it does not cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly and sharply. This might support your fat burning and could contribute in your efforts that fat will not end up on your hips.

Another advantage of Palatinose™ is that it supports fat oxidation for your sportive goals. It is an ideal companion for endurance athletes as it gives you the energy for the extra mile.

It is also a good alternative to normal sugar for people who need to keep an eye on their blood sugar, as it keeps blood sugar levels more stable.

If you want to support your healthy resolutions throughout the year, include Palatinose™ in your diet. Here are some ideas on how you can integrate Palatinose™ into your daily routine to make your healthy resolutions easy.

So, perhaps by now you have already asked yourselves what all this has to do with the strange headline?

A step towards a new era of artificial intelligence?

Well, let me tell you. For the creation of this blog, I tested a new tool that everyone is talking about at the moment: ChatGPT. Do you already know it? ChatGPT is currently the star of the AI scene. It is a sophisticated chatbot that can answer queries in multiple languages in complete sentences. ChatGPT’s answers are virtually indistinguishable from human answers. The chatbot is based on artificial intelligence and is not limited by topic when answering. The prototype of the tool was made available to the public by the US company OpenAI on 30.11.2022.

ChatGPT can thus even help with writing a blog by generating text on a specific topic, suggesting ideas for blog post titles or even writing entire blog posts with a little guidance. That was also the case with this blog post. ChatGPT helped me find an angle for the article in the first place. Hence it has proven to give some inspiration. It can also save you a lot of time. But it will certainly not work in the future without human intervention and an editorial team that checks the content for accuracy.

ChatGPT helped creating this blog about healthy resolutions.

Yet: it feels a bit like the beginning of a new age. Doesn’t it? It’s not for nothing that the chatbot already had a million registered users 5 days after its release, and the first universities and schools are already banning the chatbot because they fear for their students’ creativity and personal performance. I would say I have mixed feelings about it. But wasn’t it always like this with groundbreaking inventions? So, what about you, have you tried ChatGPT yet?
