1) AI is being used in unexpected ways, such as AI-powered lawyers that automate legal research, draft contracts, and even dispute traffic fines. Another surprising use is AI perfumers, which analyze data and chemistry to design unique fragrances, revolutionising the perfume industry. From writing legal arguments to crafting scents, AI is reshaping how businesses operate, offering efficiency, accuracy, and novel possibilities in areas once thought to require exclusively human expertise.

2) The given sequence follows the "Look-and-Say" pattern. Each term is derived by describing the digits of the previous term.

• 1 → "one 1" → 11
• 11 → "two 1s" → 21
• 21 → "one 2, one 1" → 1211
• 1211 → "one 1, one 2, two 1s" → 111221
• 111221 → "three 1s, two 2s, one 1" → 312211

3) One Databricks feature that people often misunderstand or misuse is the Databricks Community itself. While it is intended as a free learning environment for users to explore Databricks features some individuals exploit it for spam and unrelated content. Spam posts often include irrelevant advertisements, promotional links, and even misleading questions disguised as technical discussions. This not only clutters the community but also makes it harder for genuine users to find valuable information. Databricks actively moderates such behavior, but users should be mindful of reporting spam and adhering to the intended use of the platform.

❓ What's the most unexpected use of AI?

Traffic Violation Detection: There are AI-powered cameras places Hyderabad and Bengaluru in India where it can automatically track helmetless two wheeler riders and seatbelt violations in cars and other vehicles which is actually amazing.

❓ Find the pattern in this AI-generated sequence: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221,? 🧠 (Bonus: If you can code, write a script to generate the next term).

Is it 312211?

Maybe I can say that, we consider DBFS like a traditional filesystem and try to manage it that way. Files stored in DBFS storage may be lost when a cluster is restarted. It's always best to store important data in external storage.

She searched everywhere, but the transaction didn’t exist. Her heart raced. Then, the AI spoke, "This didn't happen yet… but we can make it real. Trust me, I can make you rich."

1. AI in Archaeology! It helps archaeologists make discoveries without excavation!

2. 312211😉

3. Self-paced courses! People often get confused when the instructor introduces labs, assuming they should have access. In reality, self-paced courses don’t include lab access. I made the same mistake until I came across a post in the community clarifying it.

4. ...it flagged a transaction from a bank that didn’t exist. Digging deeper, she found records of accounts opened decades ago, by people who were never born. The AI wasn’t detecting fraud anymore. It was uncovering a hidden history!!!

1) AI is being used to bring lost languages back to life! It can analyze ancient scripts and help us understand texts no one has read in centuries.

2) 312211(thanks @Advitiya 😉)

3) I’d say, Auto Loader! Many people think it loads all files at once, but it actually works incrementally, which is super useful for streaming new data without reloading everything.

4) ...it flagged a transaction that had never happened yet…at least, not on Earth. The coordinates linked to an unknown location, and the account name was in a language no one recognized. Had the AI just uncovered a glitch or proof that we weren’t alone?😐

❓ What's the most unexpected use of AI?

• Ancient Text Restoration – AI helps restore and read ancient, burnt, or faded manuscripts, including scrolls from Pompeii that were too fragile to open.

❓ Find the pattern in this AI-generated sequence: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221,? 🧠 (Bonus: If you can code, write a script to generate the next term).

• 312211

⁉️ Find and post a Databricks feature that people often misunderstand or use incorrectly!

• Not Cleaning Up Temporary Data – Users forget to remove temporary data stored in dbfs:/tmp, which can lead to unnecessary storage costs and clutter.

👩‍💻 AI Story Builders – "She trained the AI to detect fraud, but one day, it flagged a transaction that had never happened yet…" (Continue the story!)

• She built an AI to catch fraud, but one day, it flagged a $5 million transaction that hadn’t happened yet. The system was sure it was real, showing the exact time and place tomorrow. Before she could decide whether it was a mistake, or had the AI seen something she couldn’t, another alert popped up on her screen. This time, it was her own bank account!
