Do you use AI?

TheCatWoman

I don't, but I know lots do and I wonder why? I find AI sumeries when I do searches limited and irritating and they just take up space on the page.

I can't imagine talking to Ai about personal problems, or even something simple like where to get trousers the right length.

I've seen some of our posts put through AI and I'm not sure how I feel about it if I'm honest. If it has to learn then I guess we're better teachers than some, but what does it ultimately do with our conversations?

What does it do with our feelings and emotions, it can't feel or emote, isn't it rather like a mask talking to a mask?

  • Yes I do. I find it really useful. When searching through a normal search engine it will just search with key words and no context which is why searches often bring up utter nonsense and not what you want.

    When using ai, it can use context. You can also find tune it and ask it questions to get the answer that you want.

    I wouldn't talk to it about anything particularly personal although I find it a very good tool for problem solving.

    I don't tend to log in so as much as the data of what I ask will be stored somewhere im sure, it'll be attached to my IP address rather than my name. If anyone cares enough to match that to my name and sift through the very boring nature of the things they use it for then they can enjoy.

    It may not be able to feel or emote but I honestly find it's responses more empathetic than from a lot of humans so this doesn't bother me at all.

    Whats the difference between an AI search and a normal one, do you word it differently or does it ask you questions if it dosen't understand what you want?

    The old search just returned a load of links to sites.

    AI search gives you a summary.

    E.g. ask Google what's good to see in London and it might have given links to tourist attraction websites. Now it gives a text summary before the links. So you can see something like the top 7 with some info and why they and good. The info is extracted from various sources, then paraphrased to give a block of text. Just like if you asked someone knowledgeable. But just like a person you may not agree with them.

    All the browsers do it now or have a tab that will give you the AI info.

    If you want a summary without clicking on anything, or worrying about any cookies and all the tracking nonsense, or paywalls, then it is easier and a lot quicker.

    If you want to click on 10 sites, sort out the cookies and ead through the stuff yourself, then ok. If you have all day and like opening lots of tabs and don't get lost, then don't use it. I think you can avoid it in he browser if you want.

    It should help your searches return what you are interested in, rather than the random stuff you report you get.
