Adwait Aphale Introduction When I first encountered GitHub Copilot, I felt like a junior developer again excited yet overwhelmed. The tool quietly suggested complete code blocks, proofs of concept, even refactors. It was as if I had an unseen partner, silently understanding my intent and helping bring it to life. Fast forward to today: AI Code Assistants aren’t magic - they’re partners. These tools are redefining software development. Let's dive into this fascinating transformation. Industry Voices AI won’t replace developers but developers using AI will replace those who don’t. Ginni Rometty, Former CEO of IBM AI pair programmer… helps you write better code. Nat Friedman, Former GitHub CEO At Google, AI boosts dev velocity by ~10%; over 30% of new code is AI-generated. Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google 1. What Is an AI Code Assistant? Have you ever wished for a co-pilot when coding? An AI Code Assistant does exactly that. It watches your code, understands your c...
AI Generated Images - The Hidden Environment Cost. By Adwait Aphale AI technology is transforming industries and revolutionizing the way we work, create, and interact. Personally, I’m an avid user of AI for a variety of tasks. But recently, I started thinking about something I hadn’t considered much before—the environmental cost of using AI, particularly when it comes to generating images. With the launch of AI models that can create stunning visuals, including Ghibli-style images, there has been an explosion in their use online. While this technology is groundbreaking, it also comes with significant environmental impacts that are often overlooked. The Hidden Energy and Cooling Demands of AI The powerful GPUs that drive AI image generation require vast amounts of energy to function. As AI use increases, so does the demand for computational power, and this can lead to environmental strain on data centers. AI technology is transforming industries and revolutionizing the way we work,...
