Educational Insights from Duru’s AI Learning Journey
And I started to write a new section called Duru’s AI Learning Journey where I share my review on a piece of content about AI that I have read or watched in that week.
Reflecting on AI in Marketing
In this segment, I delved into an article discussing AI's evolving role in marketing. The article emphasized the cost-saving potential of AI but missed the critical element of human connection. I argued for a balanced approach where AI enhances our ability to engage genuinely with customers, rather than replacing the human touch.

Mind-Controlled Gaming
I also explored the fascinating world of mind-controlled gaming through a YouTube video featuring a streamer who plays games using only their thoughts. This review highlighted how AI and brain-computer interfaces can transform our interaction with digital worlds, making gaming more inclusive and futuristic by translating mental commands into in-game actions.
