ChatGPT - AI-based chat

So IMHO, AI is great for knowledge work or transforming information into other forms. Generating new text and the like, but none of that actually will help you do anything.

I"ve long complained about Garmin Basecamp as a piece of impenetrable crap. If I"m traveling, I may want a nice route, a nice place for lunch and a hotel that evening. I might be able to use AI to research all that, but practically, AI is not helpful.

This gizmo, from Rabbit Tech, is a "Large Action Model" AI companion. You could ask it to create you a nice route for your ride, with some roads from Butler maps on it. Find a place for a decent cheeseburger for lunch, and then a hotel for the evening. Send a Gpx to me with the route. It'll take it a couple minutes, and it might present some options for the route. IF you don't like it, you could ask it to include more of Highway 1 and make sure the hotel has an ocean view.

It would then build the gpx, make a cheeseburger list for you, then actually make the hotel reservation for you. It will actually do a thing that keeps you from having to go into what? 3 apps? and build it all out?

This is where AI begins to provide practical results. I find it fascinating. The keynote is about 25 minutes, but if this is even halfway interesting to you, remember that this is where you first saw the device that put an end to us all carrying telephones.

If you've wondered whether AI will have an effect on your life, it is increasingly apparent that yes, it will.
