Your Digital pal who’s fun to be with

The Artificial Intelligence that is ChatGPT4 is advancing fast thanks to humans fiddling with it in the open.

I appreciated this one that a guy developed when he wanted to cancel subscriptions without having to deal with all the phone and online bullshit involved when they try to keep you hooked on. The DoNotPay GPT-4 seems like a winner to me.

Travel agents are now in even more trouble than they were with customers doing their own online booking.

However, it’s these two that caught my eye:

• ChatWithPDF; a bot that will read, summarise and query a PDF document for you.
• ChatYouTube: a bot that will summarise a YouTube video for you.

Faster learning in both cases – assuming you still want to read or learn anything. Why do that when the AI can learn for you and then tell you what to do, amirite?
