Brutal toma de contacto con la inteligencia artificial.
A mis 57 años.
Nunca pensé que a esta edad estaría inmerso en algo tan ajeno a mí. Pero la vida no se detiene, ni para los jóvenes ni para los que estamos más cerca de la línea de meta. Comencé a cotizar tarde, y si ya de por sí la jubilación es un sueño lejano para muchos, en mi caso es una utopía. Así que, mientras veo cómo las nuevas generaciones incorporan de fábrica la tecnología, yo he tenido que enfrentarme a algo que no entiendo, pero que debo aprender si quiero sobrevivir. No me gusta el mundo que la inteligencia artificial nos está trayendo pero no hay escapatoria. Adaptarse o morir.
Y así, a regañadientes, me embarqué en este máster de Founderz. Ocho meses dedicados en cuerpo y alma a lo que se supone que puede hacerse en cuatro. Un tiempo en el que cada clase me hacía sentir más fuera de lugar. No era mi terreno, no era mi lenguaje, no era mi mundo pero, ¿qué opción tenía? A la vista del esfuerzo, la dirección del máster me sugirió actualizarme con una versión más reciente del curso (gracias Héctor). "Le sacarás más partido", me dijeron. Madre mía, si supieran lo perdido que estaba.
El esfuerzo ha sido monumental. Noches interminables frente a la pantalla intentando hacer algo para lo que no estaba preparado. Frustrado. Sin entender lo que para otros parecía obvio.
Y aún así, aquí estoy. Con el trabajo final de máster a duras penas terminado. Se acompaña de un resumen en vídeo que os adjunto. Meses de lucha, sudor y muchas lágrimas condensados en tres minutos. Si veo interés , iré subiendo los vídeos resumen de los distintos trabajos entregados hasta llegar al final.
Todo ello con una certeza:
No será la IA la que me deje sin trabajo. Serán aquellos que la manejan con soltura los que me pasen por encima, sin ni siquiera verme.

Brutal first encounter with Artificial Intelligence
At 57 years old.
I never thought that at this age, I would be immersed in something so foreign to me. But life doesn't stop, not for the young, and certainly not for those of us closer to the finish line. I started working late, and if retirement is already a distant dream for many, in my case, it's an impossible one. While the younger generation seems to have technology coursing through their veins, I've had to face something I don't understand, but that I must learn if I want to survive. I don't like the world artificial intelligence is bringing. It scares me. But there is no escape. If I don't adapt, I'll be left behind.
And so, reluctantly, I embarked on this master's program. What was supposed to take four months ended up taking me twice as long. Eight long months in which every class made me feel more out of place, more lost. This wasn't my terrain, it wasn't my language, it wasn't my world. But what choice did I have? The program's leadership recognized my effort, so much so that they suggested I update myself with the latest version of the course. "You'll get more out of it," they said. What they didn't know was that, every day, I felt myself crumbling a little more.
The effort has been monumental. Endless nights in front of the screen, the frustration of not understanding what seemed obvious to others, and the constant sensation of swimming against the tide. There were days when it all felt useless, like I was trying to tame a beast that would never be mine. But here I am. With the final project in my hands, barely finished.
I managed to create a three-minute video summary, the maximum allowed. Three minutes that condense months of struggle, sweat, and, at times, tears. This is the result of a battle I never wanted to fight, but one I had no choice but to engage in. If you're interested, I'll keep uploading more videos, although each one carries a small piece of me, a scar that may never fade.
And the hardest part of all this isn't AI itself, but the certainty that if I don't master it, I'll be left behind. It won't be AI that takes my job. It will be those who handle it with ease, passing me by without even looking back.
