Google’s days are numbered
Read more…: Google’s days are numberedI was talking with my boss about this the other day. I use Chat-GPT all the time to do the dirty work of research for me. I ask it a question, it searches the internet, parses results, and presents me with information I could never get from a search engine. I haven’t used Google in…

Indians make great co-workers
Read more…: Indians make great co-workersGoing back many years, I had never actually worked with someone from India but I read about how information services were being outourced to companies in India where they could get an Indian engineer for a fraction of the cost of one in the US.

But after using X’s Grok (now behind a paywall) and Chat-GPT (hello, new friend), I’ve finally come around to admitting that it really is some impressive technology. Is it actually “intelligent”?
