Notes on AI

Created Thursday 25 May 2023

The extremely recent advances in so-called AI tools may perhaps represent the biggest shift in programming since its inception.

Everything has changed. None of this is ever going to be the same again, and here we are at the beginning of it. This should be fun.

What I'm *not* going to do is pretend they don't exist. Just the opposite. None of the following are required (I don't believe in forcing people to sign up for things) but I'm trying all of these things out and maybe you'd like to as well. Consider creating alternate Google/Microsoft/etc accounts for these.

The easiest, phind, which requires no signup - www.phind.com

The most famous - ChatGPT, requires signup, you can use Google or Github as well. There may be a waiting list https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt

Bing ChatGPT might be even better, it provides you with links. - https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/how-to-use-the-new-bing-with-chatgpt-and-what-you-can-do-with-it

It "requires" Microsoft Edge. What that really means, is that it requires a browser that claims to be Microsoft Edge. Other browsers can claim to be Microsoft Edge ☺ https://pureinfotech.com/access-bing-chat-ai-chrome-firefox/

Google Bard. There may be a waiting list for this one, so you may want to try to get on early. https://bard.google.com/

Am I missing any?

Either way, nothing is officially due for the first day of class. See you then.
