It’s an AI world

  • It would be hard to deny that AI hasn’t been the story of the year. It seems as though each one of these companies is in a ‘one upmanship’ death battle. One week perplexity launches a new AI shopping tool, the next week Chat GPT has some kind of improvement to natural language processing. If someone asks me which one they should use, I typically say pick one and try it out. The basics are all the same across these tools. The more detailed you prompts are the better your results will be. I would suggest telling your AI tool of choice to “act as if” to get more refined results. For example if you want to get ideas for a fancy dinner party, say something like “act as if you are a world class chef preparing a meal for dignitaries” If you’re looking for interior design ideas with links, “act as if you are an interior designer with your own HGTV show” You get the idea. The other tip I would suggest, once you like the results, would be to ask for the response to be put into a table format with links. You can then ask for the table to be made downloadable so that you can share it or add it to a todo list. More to come on this. Have a great day everyone!

Highlights

  • ChatGPT arrived on the scene two years ago and has emerged as the default generative AI bot for many. It’s not at a level where it has become a verb like “Google,” but ChatGPT is used by 200 million people every week, up from 100 million over the same period a year ago, according to OpenAI.

    But as ChatGPT has grown, competitors have emerged. There’s Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s Llama, Microsoft’s Copilot, and Perplexity’s…Perplexity (they kept it simple), just to name a few. There’s also Grok from xAI, the chatbot with a sense of humor that has access to X (this is meant to be a selling point).
