I commented on Sascha's blog, and Anthony's blog. I liked Sascha's research on TikTok because I am already a fan of it.  I'm excited for her since she isn't currently using it but it seems like she is considering using it after her research.  I liked her research in regards to using it for music content.  She gave examples of videos she watched where content creators even showed viewers how they made their particular content and how to add the cool effects.  TikTok is a great way to make friends and connect with other users and reach your potential customers.

Anthony's blog focused on AI technology which is exciting and somewhat foreign to me.  I understand it better now that he explained all the sources of where the technology collects its information.  It is with this data that AI is able to create targeted ads which I think is quite useful because I'd rather see things that are relevant.  I also noticed AI is being used on TikTok with filters and creating video.  I was so intrigued with AI video edits that I messed around with it and created some drafts with it.  There was a feature that could take a picture of me and it made a video of me in a wedding dress walking down the aisle looking like this beautiful bride with music in the background. That was so cool.  I've also seen people make TikToks using AI on pictures of their deceased loved ones.  The AI would make a photo into a video and it looked like the person was alive and smiling and talking.  It gets a lot of people emotional and sometimes in a good way.  In that sense I think AI is so cool.  I hope one day AI can somehow be used in the medical field specifically in gene therapy research.  Maybe one day AI will help find a treatment for Angelman Syndrome to help wake up the "sleeping" UBE3A gene on the 15th chromosome.  So far, clinical trials for drugs are taking place with a smart drug that activates the information, but there are complications with it regarding the delivery of the drug and it does not last in the system long enough and must be administered repeatedly through spinal infusions which are very invasive.
