Are you actually using AI yet?

No I just laugh at lefties

What have "lefties" got to do with being ant trump?

If I said I was anti "righties" then you would have a point.

Being anti Trump is exactly that.  Anti Trump, the person, not the party he now claims to support.

It is amazing for certain things........no more searching through manuals, instruction booklets, user guides......boom....there's the answer.

But how do you know the answer is really correct if you haven’t done the research yourself?

Unfortunately, that party doesn't exist anymore. It's been hijacked by the MAGA cult and very few in the GOP had the spine to say and do what's right. The rest are maggots.

 

But back on track;

 

Yes, I've started using AI, mostly for personal stuff but also peripherally for my work. I've tried MS Copilot but I prefer ChatGPT. An amazing tool, but only if you ask the right questions (as has been pointed out earlier). I've sometimes found myself using Google to research what would be the correct questions to ask it.

Because it gives you links to sites where the info can be found,

Because these are fairly simple tasks, but 'frustrating to found out how to do them' tasks.....which I then actually do based on the AI response......and they have worked like a dream every time.

This is a VERY GOOD Topic, Sir.

This is such a good question.

 

I am thinking about using GROK 3.

 

What do you think of good ole Grok....????

 

And, how I can I harness the power of Grok for my own good?

 

Do you have any thoughts on this????

 

Thank you....!!!!!!

I'm not talking about looking at AI summaries on "google" type searches.

I mean actually actively using it as tool to the point where it's making a difference in your life.

 

Yes I use it for work. It's often more concise information than Google. The problem is it WILL lie with impunity so if you're at all skeptical you need to double-check the work

 

I use it for programming so if it's wrong then the program doesn't compile and I know but this could really lead you astray with other information.

Yes I use it everyday.  It is better than humans.

It's interesting, it can be useful, but I think in a lot of cases, it prevents people from learning or improving a particular skill.

Sounds like a Democrat

I do! It's one of the most important upgrades to tech and is one of these "generational" things. Like computers, internet, mobile phones etc 👍or fu👑 emojis 555

Your conversations with humans must be less than stimulating in that case!

Every technological advance humans have ever made ends up in weapons of war. AI will be no different. Be able to kill more efficiently.

That's why he is on my ignore list 

[it is what it is]

AI is amazing, very powerful, use if for post processing photos, as google on steroids, or basically as a personal assistant.

AI isn’t useful by itself.
I’m not talking porn here—but in the right hands, with the right need, it becomes something more.
Not a mind. Not a soul. Just a tool—sharpened by intent.

I use Deepseek and Gemini Apps most days, ask them questions, been very useful. Deepseek is my favourite, recently needed to find out about NZ law and processes and it gave excellent well presented answers

Another memory.

Going out to buy my first Texas Instruments calculator.

It was expensive!

 

That came later  my first office job involved using   a Facit mechanical calculator. The little wheel on the end turned three times to calculator to three decimal places ! Circa 1968 .

I am continually astonished at how spectacularly dumb AI is, I'm sure they're there are advanced applications, military applications and such that are more intelligent than what I'm seeing, but everything I'm seeing is just not advanced intelligence, or artificial intelligence, but rather just plain old dumb.
