AI - Artificial intelligence

They all are basically the same - Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot and Grok. Where they differ is their "persona" but the model behind them all is often the same. There may be tweaks as to how they process the info but it's minor. There's more specific AI tools for different jobs like image processing/creation and SW coding. Claude being the dogs dangly bits for the latter. Remember here though that the data is not always up to date, and what yer getting back is an interpretation of the data in the model. It makes what are essentially guesses on what you ask based on the billions of entries and the patterns in the text and does the same when regurgitating the answer back. They are getting more accurate all the time but will always be prone to hallucinations - it is, after all, a mathematical model trying to interpret and reply in an non mathematical way.

And AI isn't new. We did it in college in the early 2000s and some lads in the class done their dissertations on neural networks and other AI related topics back then. Even in the day job they had an AI product for managing infrastructure 10 years ago. Just now it's a buzz word, being fed money in a circular way with each company investing in the other.

As a personal project, I'm flat to the matt trying to reverse engineer some apps on my phone just for the craic and it's surprisingly good at it. Agentic AI is the next "big" thing where you'll hand over responsibility to an AI agent to do things for ya - be that menial mundane repeatable tasks or something like booking a holiday and it will book yer flights, hotels, car, restaurant reservations, etc, etc.
