A user is seeking ways to stay informed about AI tools and innovations without directly using them.…
This may seem like a silly question for this subreddit, but hear me out.
I'm an english and history student, and an artist. I'm VERY against the way that the large majority of people use generative ai to offload their schoolwork and creativity. I avoid using ai whenever I can because of that moral standpoint and due to the environmental damage it causes.
However, I am aware that ai is and is going to continue to be integrated as a tool in professional fields, and I should at least have some knowledge of how it works and how to utilize it efficiently. I don't really want to go messing around with it, however, as that seems wasteful -- I don't want to use it "just to practice". Are there reports/publications/guides that I could read, or places that stay updated with ai news/innovations? That way, I can learn about what is being developed and have an understanding without just aimlessly trying shit out.
