AI - Smarter Web Searching
Everything has an 'AI' tag these days !
- put simply, AI is based on computer algorithms (initially computer code written by people) and data sources
- these algorithms access vast amounts of data; then process it and present the results
- over time, these algorithms can 'self-learn' without help from people (essentially write computer code themselves) with the goal of improving their outputs
What benefits does Artificial Intelligence offer ?
- whilst often considered singular, based on the above principles, AI is applied to many areas
- for example, finding nearby matching kidney donors; scheduling aircraft take-off & landings to optimise runway utilisation; writing and/or improving letters, emails and documents; writing formulae for a spreadsheet; being able to play bridge and chess
How best to get started?
- an easy way to explore AI is to use it for internet searching; instead of a traditional Search Engine like Google or DuckDuckGo
- in this context, the benefits are:
1. Based on your Question, AI trawls the Internet then summarises what it's found into a plain english answer
2. The benefit is that you don't have to go reading through various traditional Search Engine result web-site by web-site; you do have an option to read specific Sources or view relevant YouTube content
3. An additional benefit is that AI remembers your initial question meaning you can conversationally ask related questions in plain english! This is so useful and easy to use.
4. Further, you can ask AI to format how it presents the information e.g. 'put this Product Comparison into a Table'
- the 4 main AI Search Tools are:
3. Chat GPT
Similar to Web Browsing software, we develop personal preferences. I'd recommend trying them all - but in the order shown above!
