A.I. is constantly evolving and it will be accepted as the new norm by more people. You just have to give it time.

By whom? The norm for what?

A.I. is rapidly proving itself in medicine and science....in engineering and research....

It is not 'all things to all people'. IMers are focused on 'using A.I.' to 'create content'...but will you also use A.I. to READ that content? Are YOU smart enough/discerning enough to use A.I. in a way that seems natural?

A.I. is an inceasingly valuable TOOL - it is not the 'norm' nor will it be any time soon.

One thing I have found AI useful for is reviewing books.

I'll just ask it to review a book so I don't have to read the whole thing.

I ask it to give me the highlights etc.

Yeah, I'm lazy when it comes to reading these days.

It's not surprising--most AI tools, like Meta AI, feel half-baked. The tech is promising, but brands often overhype and underdeliver. Users need practical solutions, not gimmicks.

The gap isn't in AI's potential; it's in execution. Better UX and real problem-solving could change the game, Thoughts?

Yes not all believe in AI and it can't meet people's expectations.

Humans have the innate ability to detect fakes. Don't we all despise mass generated text and pictures?

Ai is growing in a faster pace many industries are using it, the potential level is equal to humans.

The Meta Universe was overhyped, they are still a long way off from what it will turn out to be. What were people expecting, put on a headset from day one and be transformed into another world? Maybe they were thinking something like the Virtual World that was seen in the movie Brainstorm with the late Natalie Wood and Christopher Walken.

Meta is still spending money to develop better headsets. Even Microsoft pulled the Hololens for a redesign. Just like the first days of the World Wide Web, no one could predict today's smartphones in the early days. I'm curious in 5-10 years how much those numbers will change.

its the same like the dot com boom.. there will be thousands of Ai applications and then only a handful will survive and reap the market

I got a new hosting account with Hostinger. It's their business account for Wordpress. It includes an AI Content Generator. Hmmmm.... ok.

Two weeks ago, I threw out some Chicken & Dumplings I cooked. Ya', it didn't turn out. I'm kinda' a hit & miss guy in the kitchen. So I said to the AI content generator, give me a good chicken & dumplings recipe. And it did. I cooked it last week and it was excellent. You can see the recipe here:
<<Note from moderator: You can put the recipe here but links aren't allowed.>>

Nice! But cooking isn't my thing. But I bet I could turn out 10 or so recipes per day for 100 days to give me an even thousand, and then sign up as an affiliate for, you know, cooking books, gloves and aprons.... you know, stuff you need in the kitchen. The site would probably make a little money. Then just follow the formula another few times.

There's a free plugin on the Wordpress website called 'WP Recipe Maker' and it gives users a chance to print off the recipes all neat like.

I think there are a lot of advantages to using AI, but you have to be prepared to get used to whatever model you're using. Some take different prompts than others.

AI, in general, has been quite transformative for me, on multiple levels.

• As a blind guy in digital marketing and business: It's now quicker and simpler for me to read data visualizations like graphs, charts, infographics, etc.

• Same thing for ideation, market research and niche audience profiling: I get good value from a combination of genAI conversations, genAI Q&A and manual fact-checking.

• As a blind pro engineer: GenAI and Computer Vision applications help me visualize neural network architectures for Deep Learning systems and Machine Learning applications.

• As a blind tech maker hobbyist: GenAI enables me to visualize the dimensions, architectural schematics and component placement design of particular brands, models and variants of electronic boards, 3D positioning sensors, RGB-depth cameras, flexible MEMS speaker strip arrays, tiny MEMS mics, modules and other really small components for building stuff.

And combined, I'm able to build stuff that I and others need.

• From simple things like talking desk clocks, tape measures, measuring cups and so on.

• Up to challenging projects, such as a spatial 3D audio compass wristwatch that blind and visually impaired persons can use in unfamiliar indoor and outdoor environments, such as local and overseas hotels, offices, airports and public places; to mark and be guided by spatial "follow-the-dots" 3D sound beaconing to important areas; such as carports or parking lots, grounds and passenger loading areas, building entrances and exits, lobbies and reception areas, elevators and gym among other facilities, room door and internal areas, walkways to nearest public transport stops and stations, etc.

Interesting data, but perhaps the issue lies not in AI itself, but in how brands integrate it. If the technology doesn't provide real value to users, skepticism is inevitable. AI should serve people's needs, not just be a marketing gimmick

Ai is constantly evolving and it will be accepted by more and more people. chatpoint.

Thanks for the study. Here is my recent AI experience.

I was gifted a new HP 17" laptop for Christmas, cause I like to watch football on a bigger screen, but still want to be able to be mobile...so, I try to get online and there is a problem.

Brand new HP laptop purchased from their web site. And the AI bot in support could not help and had me call tech support...which is another BOT that answers the phone and gets information so it knows how to direct your call.

So, it asks for the serial number. No prob. And I get sent to Business support which tells me the warranty on that device expired in 2018. WHAT? WTF?

So I give him some more info, and he says that they RECYCLE serial numbers, and this new/old one is for consumer division, so he transfers me...and guess what happens in consumer support? They are stumped due to the serial number, so they have to transfer me again...and it continues for 2.5 hours, FIVE REAL PEOPLE, who finally tell me to not tell the bot on the call any serial number and when I try that I get hung up on.

So call sales. Ask how to return the thing. A person apologizes profusely, and then connects me to business support, because of the serial number.

HELLO DELL.

So, AI, for all its greatness, adheres to rule one of computers. Garbage In/Garbage Out.

Why would a company like HP recycle serial numbers? Best guess is they are run by cheap arse dumb bells???

AI can only do as well as it is programmed to do and after this nightmare on HP street, I have to wonder what other bots have been Gomer Pyled programmed??

GordonJ

P.S. Apologies to Gomer Pyle, he actually was a man with a lot of common sense, sorry Gomer, HP wishes they had you as a leader.

I did laugh - but it was a sympathy laugh.


How do some of these companies stay in business?

Yes Meta AI has been a letdown...but I cant imagine working without ChatGPT...so there's that...

I've found tools like Otter.ai incredibly useful for transcribing spoken words into text. It's fascinating how this technology can bridge gaps for people with hearing disabilities, making conversations, lectures, or meetings more accessible. Even more impressive is how accurate and fast it turns real-time speech into clear, structured text. It's one of those practical AI applications that genuinely improves lives and makes communication more inclusive.

AI's potential is huge, but underwhelming execution, like Meta AI, leaves consumers skeptical. Brands must focus on practical, human-centered solutions to build trust and meet expectations.

Interesting perspective. It seems like there's a gap between AI's potential and how it's being implemented in real-world experiences. I think a big part of the issue is that many brands rush to incorporate AI without fully understanding how to make it genuinely useful or seamless for users. That being said, there are some standout applications, like personalized recommendations and chatbots that actually work well.

Well, it's a new frontier for sure.

In my opinion AI will replace search engines for one. Search on Google, (for example, I haven't used anything Google in years) it's ads and preferential websites. To find useful information that doesn't involve shopping is a challenge.

Type your search queries into AI (I use Grok) and all that comes up is useful information. Very little digging required. It cuts out the middle man. It searches the net and then distills the info. into a synopsis.

I suppose they will eventually put ads on it in some way, but for now it's an awesome time saver and deliverer of much better, relevant information.

As Gordon said, as with any computer program it can only do what humans have programed it to do. In my opinion it will never be "intelligent," or anything more than a useful computer program.

Example of a real search I just did, because I'm thinking of ordering some canned chili:

"high quality canned chili"

When looking for high-quality canned chili, several brands stand out based on taste, texture, and versatility:

Hormel Chili: Hormel is considered by many to be a top choice, particularly for its meaty, bean-free varieties which are excellent for hot dogs or as a base for quick meals. The Hormel Chili No Beans version is noted for its rich color, tender meat chunks, and a balance of spices that give it a nice, savory depth without being too soupy. However, the Hormel brand also has its critics, especially for some varieties that might lack in flavor or have an off-putting texture.

Stagg Chili: Stagg's offerings, like the Dynamite Hot Chili with Beans, are praised for their spiciness and hearty, thick consistency. This brand has been highlighted for its high-quality appearance and taste, with spices like habaneros providing a noticeable heat. It's particularly recommended for those who prefer their chili with a kick.

Amy's Organic Chili: While Amy's Organic Medium Chili has received mixed reviews due to its sometimes bland flavor profile, its spicy version is well-regarded for its deep red color and more authentic chili taste. This brand is also appreciated for its organic ingredients, though some find the flavor could be enhanced with additional spices.

Campbell's Chunky Chili: Though not always at the top of the rankings, Campbell's Chunky Chili with Beans has been noted for its consistency, even if it's less chunky than advertised. It's criticized for lacking bold flavors but can be a decent option for quick meals or when mixed with other ingredients.

Wolf Brand Chili: Wolf Brand is another brand that's well-regarded, especially for its traditional chili flavor. It's often recommended for applications like chili cheese dips due to its texture and taste, though it might not excel in all taste tests.

BUSH'S BEST Canned Chili Magic: Recent posts on X highlight deals on BUSH'S BEST Chili Magic, suggesting it's a popular choice for those looking for a quick chili starter. This product is noted for being a source of plant-based protein and fiber, low fat, and gluten-free, making it a versatile option for various dietary needs.

When choosing a high-quality canned chili, consider the specific use (like topping hot dogs, making a quick meal, or adding to other dishes), your preference for heat level, and whether you prefer chili with or without beans. Also, looking at organic or special dietary options like those from Amy's can cater to different needs or tastes. Remember, while these brands are generally well-reviewed, individual taste preferences can vary, so trying out different varieties might be the best approach to finding your personal favorite.

I think, today this issue is no longer current and next year the exact opposite may be discussed.

As AI evolves, it is enhancing decision-making, improving customer experiences, and unlocking new possibilities for businesses and individuals

Ai is like the internet back in the 90's, it is a case of 'what do we use it for, it will never catch on'

I just found, as in this morning, an AI system that makes you a
whole video with a simple prompt, which allows you to develop
several videos without any time-consuming effort.

There are numerous other AI tools that help you do all sorts of
things to make money online, dozens of different ways besides
written content, but if you are all about making excuses that it's
not advanced enough, it's not going to happen for you.

Continue moaning about AI being underwhelming, too slow, or
whatever, instead of learning to use it to enhance your business,
and you will get left behind.

Most of the tools are free or low fees like $10 or $20 per month,
which you can cancel once you finish your project, so it's really
affordable to use the basic ones.

One of the potential reasons, I see is most consumers use free AI tools to get the final result. Users who use the paid services like from ChatGPT, claude, midJourney(for images), etc. get high quality outputs in most cases.

And this is evolving so rapidly. Just take the example of new ChatGPT text-to-image generation introduced recently. It is a game changer in this space. You can now create reliable infographics with lot of text accurately or you can edit a specific part of a scene very consistently. Its a big leap.

I see there is a lot of hype and fear emitted by people who either are not using these tools at all or not using it correctly. Many a times crafting a good prompt for a task takes some time and is a skill developed by experimentation.

I have often tried to use AI i.e. Grok or CoPilot to help me with design software issues and it is nearly useless. It says to do things that do not exist and when there is a problem to solve, it will lead me down a rabbit hole and twist things around to where I will have spent hours trying to fix a more and more complex problem that didn't exist in the first place. Extremely frustrating.

Even asking factual questions about specifications, it will tell me things I know are not correct, and when I call it out it admits to giving false information and offers a hollow apology. What if I didn't know enough about what I was asking to know it was lying to me?

I'm sure it will get better over time, but it is far from helpful at this point.
