Embracing AI: My Journey from Aphasia to Prompt Engineering

Written on

Chapter 1: My Unexpected Path

As a writer facing the challenges of aphasia, I never anticipated that I would embark on a new career in AI prompt engineering. However, my experience with Jasper AI allowed me to establish a business dedicated to coaching others on utilizing AI for content creation. With advancements in technology, the possibilities are endless! Advocating for accessibility is paramount.

It took several weeks for the impact of my injury to become apparent.

In December 2015, I was violently attacked in a supermarket. I’m uncertain if it was a hate crime or a result of substance abuse, but the two assailants took an instant dislike to me. It was in the parking lot that they struck me from behind. Surprisingly, I remained standing.

They had grabbed my scarf, constricting my movement, but I faced them head-on. Their eyes were unnaturally dilated, resembling those of a zombie. Despite enduring multiple blows to my temple, my boxing background helped me withstand the assault. I attempted to absorb the hits and stay upright.

Later, paramedics noted that if I had fallen, the situation would have been drastically different. While waiting for help, I returned to the store in search of a first aid kit, which they did not have. Instead, I purchased a bag of frozen peas to apply to my injured face.

Chapter 2: The Struggle with Words

Months passed before I fully recognized the extent of my injuries. Previously, I could skim through sentences effortlessly; now, reading felt laborious and exhausting. Words would slip away from me, akin to hockey pucks sliding across ice or butter melting on a hot surface. Sentences seemed to dissolve like sand.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand —

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep

  • Edgar Allan Poe

Writing became a monumental task. Once a skilled wordsmith, I now struggled to construct coherent sentences. It was as if I had to relearn the very act of thinking. Aphasia, a disorder that impairs communication and word retrieval, left me feeling lost. Think of it as a form of dyslexia for speaking and writing.

Before my injury, I had built a career as an academic specializing in New Media, Communications, and English, as well as a full-time copywriter. That path seemed forever closed to me. I began teaching myself to read again, focusing on each individual word and predicting the next. Interestingly, this mirrors how AI generates text—one word at a time.

Chapter 3: The AI Revelation

My childhood fascination with text-based adventure games in the early '90s equipped me to engage with Natural Language Processing (NLP). My passion for robots blossomed in my youth, and as an adult, AI became my saving grace. Having a digital co-writer that could complete my thoughts restored my independence and reinvigorated my career.
