Of Bing Chat, ChatGPT Bing plugin, Google BARD, and Google SGE (I’m on the waiting list), my favorite so far is the ChatGPT Bing plugin. It seems best at digesting website content. (That said, I do not think anyone has come up with even a design of a workable combination of web search and AI-generated content. Sites plainly put both …

As I have been reviewing the search links in the “Search Is No Longer Boolean” class, I see one obvious change: the number of results for more-or-less complex strings has dramatically declined. lisp “developer” anna jones – 10 (was 94) results lisp “engineer” anna jones – 9 (was 233) — that is 3%! lisp “engineer” OR “developer” anna jones – …

I have recently started managing my AI image Facebook page, The Prompter. The experience feels like the 20th century. It is surprising, given the vast audience. If I am logged in as both me and the page, FB goes into an endless loop wanting to redraw. The page has two management suits, “Dashboard” and “Meta,” with somewhat overlapping functions. Connecting …

Insufficient “processing power” is the reason why many improvements I had requested are not viable. 1. Why wouldn’t LinkedIn Recruiter search for a Boolean of school names, while LinkedIn.com can? [Dan] This is possible, of course, but right now, it isn’t in the plan because it is really (really) expensive to build Boolean functionality outside of keyword searches.  This is …

I am fascinated by Midjourney’s /describe command – kudos to its creators! MJ generates beauty out of very little. In addition to transforming the input, the revealed prompts teach AI artists the “true” language. It was interesting to see words repeated, hashtags, and styles. And if you like a style you can carry it on with other scenes. Below you …

Midjourney has just released an amazing feature, invoked by the command /describe. You can upload an image and get four sample prompts to draw in Midjourney. This is “image-to-text” that creates only remote likeness to the subject. (I suppose photos of famous people and such may be better replicated). Instead, it creates four fantasies. Of course, you can edit the …

I appreciate the “code red” that Google had experienced seeing ChatGPT success. However, Bard, Google’s response to AI, is quite underwhelming. Google should have given it time and effort to mature, I think. The web is full of hilarious dialogs with Bard like ChatGPT and Bing Chat seem to know more about Google than (its own) Bart. This is ridiculous! …

[ image generated with #midjourney. I do not mean that Bing is like a monkey, it is just an expression. See my portfolio on FB. ] As we have all experienced, Bing Chat is “stubborn” and “lazy” (so is ChatGPT). After Bing’s volatile and “emotional” first day, it was told to say “no” more often than not. If Bing responds …

GPT-4 tells fewer lies. For example, it correctly lists Google search operators. What I find most interesting though at the first glance is its exceptional ability to interpret images based on URLs. There is no restriction for the creation time. I gave it the image above and it produced a perfect output: I would do face recognition, too, and tell …

Google has been rolling out continuous scrolling, and it’s a challenge. Seeing all of your results now requires a lot of scrolling down and pressing the “more results” button. There is a preference, but it does not influence Google’s behavior (at least for me): The change is unfortunate. Chrome extensions and other tools will break over the scrolling format. However, …
