What do you use AI for?

I asked it to show me what my bathroom would look like a specific colour with and without the ceiling painted. Very useful

We had fun with Chat GBT last night turning the grandkids photos of themselves into cartoon characters

Thanks WW and the input from others 👍

AI has been very useful to my daughter ( ironic when you think she tests computer programs before they go to market)
She is in dispute with her company.
AI gave her a letter to give to her company. She tweeted it a bit so her bosses ( all techies) wouldn’t recognise that the letter was AI generated.
Her bosses want to talk again.

It’s free at the moment, but I bet that won’t last.

So make hay folks!

Chat told me the free edition of Chat makes commercial sense because many so free users go on to buy the paid -for editions .

One thing that worries me about AI is the environmental cost of the 'mother computer' which I understand is the size of a huge block of multistorey flats and consumes more electricity than any other human enterprise. BTW the above is not info from ChatGPT but is merely my own impresssion via my son.

Yes that’s right. Apparently it is using masses and masses of water😳🤔

I trust both of you don’t have thousands, tens of thousands of photos in your cloud that you will never look at again.

I don’t where your son gets the idea of a huge block of multi story flats look at this video to get the true idea.
As for water consumption look and weep.
Our most precious resource is being used for this.

Everyone has choices. Which is good. Don’t you think bluebell ?

But bear with.

The question I had with my garden plan was

I specified plants, I specified design, I specified colour palette etc, what it did was to suggest not just where to place the plants - and I could move them if I so wished, but also what others I could plant and where.

It was my entire choice, but simply the sort of help Monty might give😊

It has worked an absolute treat.

Well, we're farmers and in our world 'AI' has always stood for Artificial Insemination (of cattle).
So I find it a hilarious abbreviation 😂

That’s really clarified it for me and I now realise why I m not using A1 at the moment
Taking the garden scenario I don’t want someone else ideas for my garden, because then it’s not mine My garden has me stamped on it, it looks exactly how I want it to look it has my lovely wild flowers attracting the bees and other pollinators it has my deck chair where I want it I don’t want or need a robot to tell me where to put flowers or plants
Same with decorations I don’t want someone else telling me that colour goes with that colour I want my colours I want it to be me
I m usually forward thinking with technology I like learning new methods and new ways but this is not appealing to me any more than photoshop which although I can see its uses in some things I want my photos to come from my personality my thoughts my talents not someone else’s
I won’t be bothering with it for now

Google Gemini is another.

I’ve never tried that - just downloaded it

What’s AI, what’s what’s Chat GPT ?
Oh gosh I’m soooo far behind 😫

Don’t worry - it’s a doddle - it has to be if you think about it for slow coaches like me.

Go into your app shop put in ChatGPT and down load it.

Off you go!

Just start by asking it a simple question and work up from there .

We are used to it to a degree because we are constantly asking google, but this is a different thing that’s all.

Oh yes! And with a world wide water shortage the problem is not solely about Silicone Valley in hot California.

At the moment I have used google and ChatGPT and that is the one that is giving me the best information so far with regard to planning etc.

The point is I think is that it is learning as it goes along from us and will get whizzingly better - probably what we are doing now will seem like small beer very soon.

So planning a room you can ask it first what information is needed - it will guide you and off you go!

So when I started on my menus it nudged me gradually until it had sufficient information.

I don't know how often its training is updated. ChatGPT told me Google is more up to date than 'itself' as Google has that constantly web -crawling spider thing

Plus:- the most hard wearing and dog- resistant lawn grass. seed

Plus how long a concrete -panelled garage lasts

Plus UK prices of a wet room.

Plus making sense of a long long garrulous text from someone online

Plus Biblical ,and Koranic ,quotations.
It would have taken months orfresearch among books or doing my own donkey work to be informed whereas with AI help it's at my finger tips, concise and in the sort of English I prefer.

My son installed ChatGPT on my list of websites I usually inhabit.

I have used it for :-
*personal counselling,

*uses for particular garden shrubs,

*how to clean shower room tiles.

*theology questions and info,

*philosophy questions and info, Chat's own code of ethics,

*if it would please be a little less flattering,

^testing the ethics it is trained to by typing in a racist claim,

*the best way to control AI politically and internationally.

*several recipes mainly how to make broccoli etc nice to eat,

* info on historical and contemporary political events and personages.

It’s free at the moment, but I bet that won’t last.

That is really useful. I have been mostly ignoring AI which is not at all sensible.

I think there is Grok which I haven’t explored but seen examples on Twitter and it seems like a glorified Disney - but as I haven’t explored it I am probably wrong.

ChatGPT is brilliant. I've asked it all sorts of questions and got all sorts of information. It provides it in beautifully presented bullet points and always asks if it could offer more. eg I asked about a very faddy eater. A 12 year old. It reeled off lots of potential causes and suggestions and offered alternate 'bridging' diet foods. It then offered a 7 day menu for these foods to gradually move the child on to a better diet. 10/10 from me. ie not just the info but how it's presented.

Oh so could I use it to redesign a room ( neither dh or I are great at that type if thing) , i have only used it for information so far.

Put in

Please provide me with a menu that is quick and easy and keeps me out of the kitchen for an x year old based on x calories with x preference or allergies.

See what comes up.

Next I’m going to try a nutrient rich menu for 80 year old based on a low budget. I’m going to work out how much a pensioner can afford based on minimum income.

Excuse my ignorance but do you put that sentence into Google or is there a sort of A1 app to you.

Shamefully ignorant I know.

I shouldn’t switch off when the said relative starts talking🙄😳
