I’m sorry I can’t do that, Dave
I’ve been using AI more and more lately for text answers (not just lurid pictures of weasels). It’s only a Google search with a synopsis afterwards, but that’s a surprisingly useful thing. Grok is my favorite so far. It has a colloquial writing style that reminds me of…well, me.
That’s an odd issue, but it’s not uncommon for computers to throw curveballs like this. Since rebooting fixes it temporarily, it’s likely a software glitch rather than a hardware failure. Here are a few potential culprits and things to check:
Curveball! Did you ever expect kind of chatty informality from your computer? (My new computer occasionally begins to spew [ and ] in the middle of my text. It’s done it twice and a reboot fixes it, so I’m not inclined to worry).
Not awfully keen on the Microsoft one (Copilot?). Never used ChatGPT. Uncle B is pals with Leo, the AI built into the Brave browser.
Someone suggested today that if you take your car to the garage and you’re not awfully good with cars, you can get AI to explain the problem and give you a hint if they’re telling the truth and what the costs should be.
I think this is going to be useful, after all. Not world shaking, I don’t think, but useful.
