Hey Aleksey!
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, as far as which particular AI job types I plan to target, I am pretty severely limited based on a pretty significant limitation of mine, one which will have folks on here likely question the rationale of my desire to enter this particular field! The reality is despite dozens of genuinely good faith attempts over the course of my life, whenever region of the brain is associated with learning, integrating, and using any foriegn language, well, let’s just say it must have been deprived of O² for a hot minute at some point during my childhood because it simply doesn’t work.
I can rock the vocabulary and pronunciation of terms like a champ, and was actually able to fully internalize the Persian alphabet well enough to sound out words when reading. However, with every single one of these “This time I’ll succeed!” attempts, the moment the instructor or coursework moved beyond the introduction to the basic foundation of the language and introduced how the sentence syntax differed from the English language, the Microsoft Windows blue screen of death would pop up in my head and no amount of will, time, enthusiasm, or effort resulted in a success.
Two of those languages I tried to learn were actually software code languages, the first was Java Groovy (for home automation integrations) and the second and most recent being Python (for my Raspberry pi tinkering). I figured it was worth seeing if my issues were somehow unique to spoken languages, they weren’t.
So that’s right, I’m trying to get into a computer software development position which doesn’t require that I have any coding abilities. Yup, I know how irrational that sounds, but the friends who have been encouraging me to look into it insist that it won’t be a show stopper!
The irony of it all is the fact that because of this handicap, the moment I learned that this new ChatGPT thing I was hearing about was capable of doing the coding for me based on my plain language description of what I was trying to build and guidance throughout the process, I had the app on my phone and had given them my money.
I’m being told that I should seek out AI Model Trainer and AI Output Evaluator positions, and focus on those companies which already serve the aviation, drone operations, and national defense intelligence markets on account of my professional experience and expertise in those fields. My initial research of AI model development companies yielded two which both specifically list those industries as part of their specialty portfolios: AI Taggers & Label Your Data.
If anyone has any insight into either of these companies, I would very much appreciate it. As I mentioned in my first post, I’m deep diving into some of the AI discipline training available online, but I feel like I should go a step further and try and find an entry level more generalized position to gain some of the priceless OJT. I’d love to hear any advice folks here may have for me!
Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
Pete
