 On this day 7 years ago, I went to audition for  #TheVoiceNigeria at Westown hotel, Ikeja, Lagos. A photo of a young lady at an Audition with a tag on her neck that reads "Rosemary Nwosu" I was watching #bbnaija  when I saw the advert and I said to myself "Rosemary, you are going for this audition, you won't miss it for anything". I looked forward to the event. I made necessary preparations. I rehearsed on my own. I had the confidence I needed to pull through. I dreamt everyday of how I became the winner of Voice Nigeria 😏. Fast forward to the much awaited day! This day came. I woke up very early. Took bread and Tea for breakfast. Got ready and my sister went to drop me off at the venue. We got there before 8am but the queue I met plus the scorching sun was enough to drain all the energy and confidence in me😓. What can I do naa?  I joined the queue and kept encouraging myself. I didn't get into the building until 12:00 noon 😢 with number 556 hanging on m...

Let’s delve into how artificial intelligence (AI) can address some of the most pressing societal challenges: 1. Climate Change Mitigation    - AI can analyze vast amounts of climate data to predict extreme weather events, optimize renewable energy production, and enhance climate modeling.    - It aids in monitoring deforestation, tracking carbon emissions, and managing natural resources sustainably. 2. Disaster Response and Relief    - AI-powered algorithms can quickly assess disaster impact by analyzing satellite imagery, social media posts, and sensor data.    - Chatbots and virtual assistants provide real-time information during emergencies, guiding affected communities. 3. Healthcare Access and Equity    - AI enables telemedicine, personalized treatment plans, and early disease detection.    - It can address healthcare disparities by optimizing resource allocation and predicting disease outbreaks. 4. Poverty Alleviation ...

 Earlier this week, I got a message from a colleague asking if I could create an animated video mimicking some key people in the office in commemoration of the World Water Day which happened today. As usual, I took up the challenge even though I didn't know how it was going to turn out, considering the fact that he had so many descriptions, imaginations and expectations. I was happy he came early enough to avoid rush or fire brigade approach. I started on Monday and by Wednesday, the job was only 30% done. By Thursday noon, I had achieved 45%. But the point is that, I didn't disappoint. I delivered 100% today beyond expectations. I went over and beyond. Let me just say I outdid myself. When he saw the final animated , edited and compressed video I sent him at the early hours of today, he couldn't hold his joy. He immediately messaged me that I beat his imagination, saying how he loved it. Today's world water day celebration/event was crowned with so much laughter and fu...

In a world where engineers vanish, the very fabric of our existence would unravel. Let’s embark on a thought experiment, peering into a reality devoid of these unsung heroes—the architects of progress, the problem solvers, and the creators of our modern marvels. 1. Infrastructure Apocalypse Picture a world where engineers never existed. Our roads, once sturdy and reliable, would crumble into disrepair. Bridges, those elegant connectors between lands, would sag and collapse, leaving us stranded. Buildings, once towering symbols of human achievement, would succumb to gravity, their foundations weakened by neglect. Without engineers, there would be no one to mend our broken-down infrastructure. The very arteries of civilization—roads, bridges, and tunnels—would wither away, choking off the flow of commerce, communication, and life itself. 2. Innovation Stagnation Engineers are the architects of innovation. They dream up solutions to our most pressing challenges, turning abstract ideas in...

  The desk tells a story of creativity and connection. Beside the robot lies a laptop, its screen a portal to vast knowledge.  Papers with indecipherable scribbles rest nearby – perhaps algorithms, musings, or secret codes. Eyeglasses sit atop them, a nod to both human and artificial vision. And there, nestled among the clutter, is a smartphone or calculator – a bridge between analog and digital realms.  Our robot isn’t just crunching numbers; it’s deciphering prompts, unraveling mysteries, and crafting responses.

 There's no kind of image you cannot generate with AI, all you need is the right prompts and I have mastered AI prompting for both images and texts. Guess what prompt achieved this? Best answer gets a reward from me. Good luck 

  Indeed, AI and humans are on a fascinating journey together. While AI has made significant strides, it still relies heavily on human guidance and context.  Like I said in my previous post, AI cannot prompt itself—it needs our input and direction. For professionals like photographers, software engineers, web designers, and graphic designers, embracing AI can be a powerful tool.  Here’s how to use AI to your advantage: PHOTOGRAPHERS : AI can assist in  ✳️✴️ Image enhancement ✴️✳️ Color correction ✳️✴️ Automated tagging ✴️✳️ Sorting and organizing large photo libraries Learning about AI-powered photo editing tools can enhance your workflow. SOFTWARE ENGINEERS : AI can be used for  ✳️✴️ Automated testing ✴️✳️ Code optimization ✳️✴️ Predictive analytics Familiarize yourself with AI frameworks like ✅TensorFlow  ✅ PyTorch, or ✅ Scikit-learn Explore machine learning algorithms and their applications. WEB DESIGNERS: AI can  ✴️✳️ generate responsive layouts ✳️...

 You were very hungry and had only one sachet of Noddle at home, with no money at hand. You decided to wait till mid day to cook it, so it could serve as breakfast, lunch and dinner. You took your time, cooked and served the food. On your first scoop, you found a piece of cockroach in the cooked noodle 😞 In all honesty and using this present economy as a case study, what would you do? Remove the cockroach and eat the food or throw it away? Best realistic answer gets a reward from me
