You ever scroll through 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.699 your feed and wonder how in the world Instagram 00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:27.079 knows exactly what you're into? That's AI at 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.410 work, working behind the scenes. anticipating 00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:33.490 your preferences, and appearing to know you better 00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:36.109 than you know yourself. Get ready to dive into 00:00:36.109 --> 00:00:39.390 AI's social secrets and discover how these powerful 00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:42.350 tools can predict what you want before you know 00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:45.509 it yourself. Hey guys, if you're joining me for 00:00:45.509 --> 00:00:48.310 the first time, welcome. If you're returning, 00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:51.530 big thanks and welcome back. I'm your host, KC, 00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:55.789 and this is From Fear to Fascination. I'm here 00:00:55.789 --> 00:00:58.810 to give you a safe space to learn, grow, and 00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:01.590 explore the all too popular topic of artificial 00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:05.569 intelligence without fear. The AI conversation 00:01:05.569 --> 00:01:08.689 is too important to ignore, and I'm here to show 00:01:08.689 --> 00:01:11.549 you that it doesn't have to be scary. If you 00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:14.950 have been overwhelmed by complicated tech news 00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:19.030 and videos about AI, turn it off and come and 00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:21.430 hang out with me. Trust me, it won't be heavy 00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:26.200 here. Let me turn your AI fears into fascination. 00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:29.780 Let's start with the basics. Whether you're on 00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:33.480 TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram, your feed is 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.599 not random. Every single time you scroll, double 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.900 tap, or leave a comment, AI is quietly taking 00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.379 notes. Think of it like a personal assistant 00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:47.019 who works around the clock in the background. 00:01:47.789 --> 00:01:50.709 Always analyzing what you like, how long you 00:01:50.709 --> 00:01:53.230 look at a post, and even what time of day you're 00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:56.549 most active. All of this is processed using algorithms. 00:01:56.629 --> 00:01:59.650 We talked about this in episode four. Over time, 00:01:59.750 --> 00:02:02.510 the computer is learning from data and getting 00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:06.469 smarter or more informed, you could say. So that 00:02:06.469 --> 00:02:08.810 post you lingered on for a few seconds and thought 00:02:08.810 --> 00:02:11.849 nothing of it. Make no mistake. You will see 00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:14.389 more content like that in the future because 00:02:14.389 --> 00:02:17.189 the algorithm has learned, oh, they like this. 00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:20.669 And boom, more of it pops up. It's like having 00:02:20.669 --> 00:02:24.259 a personal shopper, but for content. AI technology 00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:28.960 gives you the most engaging, relevant, and surprisingly 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.460 accurate social media experience possible. Before 00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:34.539 we wrap up today, I've got something special 00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:37.620 for you. I'll be sharing my top five AI -powered 00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:40.280 social media management apps. Stick around to 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.800 the end for all the details. Let's talk about 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:47.139 big data. Big data is the enormous amounts of 00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:50.500 information generated every second from various 00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:53.919 places, such as social media platforms, websites, 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.259 mobile apps, and more. This data can include 00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:02.759 text posts, comments to images, videos, and user 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.909 interactions. There is so much information that 00:03:06.909 --> 00:03:09.229 it's impossible for one person to analyze it 00:03:09.229 --> 00:03:12.969 all. So we rely on computers and artificial intelligence 00:03:12.969 --> 00:03:16.310 to help make sense of it. Big data is crucial 00:03:16.310 --> 00:03:19.569 for these platforms because it allows them to 00:03:19.569 --> 00:03:24.469 understand user behavior and preferences. Let's 00:03:24.469 --> 00:03:26.789 talk about how popular social media platforms 00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:32.050 use big data. TikTok collects data on what videos 00:03:32.050 --> 00:03:34.830 you watch and how long you watch them, which 00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:37.789 ones you like or share, and it analyzes this 00:03:37.789 --> 00:03:41.189 data to create a personalized for you page that 00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:43.210 shows you videos that are likely to interest 00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:46.389 you. The more you interact with the app, the 00:03:46.389 --> 00:03:49.090 better it becomes at suggesting content you may 00:03:49.090 --> 00:03:53.139 enjoy. YouTube uses big data to recommend videos 00:03:53.139 --> 00:03:56.099 based on your viewing history, search queries, 00:03:56.219 --> 00:03:59.300 and videos you clicked on. When you finish watching 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:01.659 a video, you may see a list of suggested videos 00:04:01.659 --> 00:04:04.280 tailored just for you. This is probably one of 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.379 my favorite features. If I'm looking for videos 00:04:06.379 --> 00:04:09.900 on investing for beginners, the algorithm will 00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:13.400 magically line up more videos to give me the 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.279 content that I'm asking for. Instagram analyzes 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.060 data from your likes, comments, and the accounts 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:23.600 you follow to curate your feed. It prioritizes 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.860 posts that it thinks you might find interesting, 00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:28.920 making sure you see content from your favorite 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.560 users and topics first. This way, you're more 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.740 likely to engage with the app and share your 00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:38.060 own content. Pinterest uses big data to understand 00:04:38.060 --> 00:04:40.519 your interests by tracking the pins you save, 00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:43.420 the boards you create, and the searches you perform. 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.480 Based on this information, it recommends new 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.600 pens and ideas that match your taste. This helps 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.379 you discover new projects, new recipes, or new 00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:55.060 styles that you may want to try. When I was considering 00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:58.120 a closet makeover, I typed in luxury closets 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.660 and created a pen. After that, I kept getting 00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:04.060 amazing suggestions so I could explore other 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:06.379 pens that were in the same genre. Saved me a 00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:08.899 lot of time, gave me ideas that were way outside 00:05:08.899 --> 00:05:11.269 of what I was thinking about. Now let's talk 00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:14.949 about the dance between users and AI. It's really 00:05:14.949 --> 00:05:18.189 a two -way street. As users engage with content, 00:05:18.329 --> 00:05:21.110 they teach the AI about their preferences. The 00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:23.750 more you like and interact, the better the AI 00:05:23.750 --> 00:05:26.810 gets at predicting what you want to see. This 00:05:26.810 --> 00:05:30.410 interaction creates a cycle. The AI learns from 00:05:30.410 --> 00:05:33.430 you and you get a more personalized experience. 00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:37.019 It's important to remember that while this dance 00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:39.720 can enhance your social media experience, it 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.959 also means that the platforms are constantly 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.819 analyzing your behavior. Finally, let's talk 00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:48.560 about the benefits of AI and social media. Along 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.139 with a tiny bit of caution, the benefits are 00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:54.600 clear. Enhanced personalization, a more engaging 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.259 experience, and the ability to discover new content 00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:01.160 that matches your interests. All thanks to AI. 00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:04.170 It's essential to approach this with caution. 00:06:04.769 --> 00:06:07.750 Relying too heavily on algorithms can limit your 00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:11.029 exposure to diverse ideas. While it's great to 00:06:11.029 --> 00:06:14.430 enjoy personalized feeds, try to explore beyond 00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:17.910 your usual content just to avoid getting trapped 00:06:17.910 --> 00:06:21.180 in a bubble. Now that we've uncovered some intriguing 00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:23.879 social media secrets, you'll never look at your 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.379 casual scrolling on Instagram the same way again. 00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:29.560 The next time you're scrolling, remember there's 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.019 so much more behind those taps, likes and comments 00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:36.819 than meets the eye.
