It is the result of my third attempt to generate an image for this blog article using GenAI. While I often find AI-generated text impressive, <strong>image generation<\/strong> can be frustrating. At first glance, the results may seem decent, but modifications often lead to mediocre outcomes. Take, for example, the slightly crooked left foot in the image here. I also discovered that some GenAI tools struggle with simple tasks, such as removing text from an image, despite multiple attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/antonialuetgens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DALL\u00b7E-2025-02-19-18.57.25-A-vibrant-comic-style-illustration-of-a-powerful-ocean-wave.-A-blonde-woman-with-a-long-braid-is-surfing-on-the-wave-wearing-a-full-body-wetsuit-that.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-439\" style=\"width:287px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antonialuetgens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DALL\u00b7E-2025-02-19-18.57.25-A-vibrant-comic-style-illustration-of-a-powerful-ocean-wave.-A-blonde-woman-with-a-long-braid-is-surfing-on-the-wave-wearing-a-full-body-wetsuit-that.webp 1024w, https:\/\/antonialuetgens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DALL\u00b7E-2025-02-19-18.57.25-A-vibrant-comic-style-illustration-of-a-powerful-ocean-wave.-A-blonde-woman-with-a-long-braid-is-surfing-on-the-wave-wearing-a-full-body-wetsuit-that-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/antonialuetgens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DALL\u00b7E-2025-02-19-18.57.25-A-vibrant-comic-style-illustration-of-a-powerful-ocean-wave.-A-blonde-woman-with-a-long-braid-is-surfing-on-the-wave-wearing-a-full-body-wetsuit-that-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/antonialuetgens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DALL\u00b7E-2025-02-19-18.57.25-A-vibrant-comic-style-illustration-of-a-powerful-ocean-wave.-A-blonde-woman-with-a-long-braid-is-surfing-on-the-wave-wearing-a-full-body-wetsuit-that-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/antonialuetgens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DALL\u00b7E-2025-02-19-18.57.25-A-vibrant-comic-style-illustration-of-a-powerful-ocean-wave.-A-blonde-woman-with-a-long-braid-is-surfing-on-the-wave-wearing-a-full-body-wetsuit-that-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I stepped onto the AI surfboard about a year ago. My journey began in two ways: first, in my work as consultant, where I started <strong>experimenting with GenAI<\/strong> at the encouragement of colleagues. What began as mere curiosity quickly evolved into an essential part of my daily workflow. Without even realising it, I now find myself frequently opening ChatGPT and crafting increasingly complex prompts to refine my outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, I took on a role as a <strong>German language trainer for AI<\/strong>, where I assess AI-generated content, evaluate prompts and label use cases. This position introduced me to the fascinating capabilities of AI models as evaluators themselves. I also learned that AI-generated text detection tools are not always reliable. Engaging with GenAI in this way offers a firsthand experience of its exponential progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expanding AI Knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, I aim to share my AI expertise with others. To solidify my knowledge, I am currently enrolled in multiple courses. If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about AI, I highly recommend checking out <strong>KI-Campus<\/strong>, an online platform offering free courses, videos, podcasts and tools to enhance AI competencies.

He took a few bruises, struggled with the waves, but ultimately found the process of mastering a new skill fulfilling. Isn&#8217;t that true for AI as well? The learning curve may be steep, but once you catch the wave, the ride is exhilarating.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The woman in the picture looks nothing like me.
