More On AI - Amazon Search and A Few Other Links

I recently discovered "Rufus AI" on Amazon. After typing "how to keep the iPhone cool" into the search bar at Amazon, a window appeared on the lower left side of the screen a with a response similar to ChatGPT or Copilot.  The information was informative and after reading about keeping the iPhone cool there were ads for devices that would be of interest. 

Search has become more incredible using the various AI forms. In some ways I find I am not using search engines in the way that I had become accustomed to for the last 20 plus years (30?). I had a difficult time stopping the use of Web Crawler in the late 90's, I had gotten so used to the web links one could chase down. Now it's Microsoft Edge and Copilot. 

In my post yesterday I meant to add some recent links that I found of great interest. 

The first one, "How Everyone Can Feel Empowered to Ride the AI Wave" by Scott A. Snyder. In the article from Knowledge at Wharton, the author talks about the "AI Divide" and how is growing and it may not be in everyone's best interest to let it pass. I suspect there are some who have tried to write off AI with numerous reasons of which many are not valid. The writing goes into "5 AI Trends Everyone Should Know About" and they may be worth reading for your own thoughts and knowledge, there is information you could pass along to others. 

The later part of the writing that deals with "Making AI Personal" and this is more along the lines of what I am attempting to do. Having spent a great number of years teaching software, and although basically retired, I still get asked about technology and AI is at the front of many questions. So, I have had to learn and make it personal. It has been fun using AI for research on many subjects away from Technology including Health, Lifestyle, hobbies, and many other personal areas. Great read. 

From the same place, Knowledge at Wharton, there is a link to "Does AI Limit Our Creativity?" by Seb Murray. The writing may focus on ChatGPT; however, I believe one could easily use other sources of AI such as Microsoft's Copilot, or Google Gemini, and others.  At the beginning I mentioned Rufus AI at Amazon and I began to use prompts there as well. 

There are so many resources I actually asked Copilot for thoughts on AI writing tools for both fiction and non-fiction.  So many options. I have also used Sudowrite and Grammarly.

Enjoy. ow Everyone Can Feel Empowered to Ride the AI Wave
