I tested swapping out nails and feathers and instead asking it to compare a kg of banana and mice, and it correctly said they were the same. But then it got a bit confused when asking, which is heavier, a banana or a mouse and it came up wi

Interesting. Played around with that kind of prompt a bit and asked follow up questions on the answers as one would in a interview. The answers to those were all very vague and almost "evasive". And within 1-2 follow-ups it start

It certainly feels different, for me the biggest blocker to adapt it more is trust. From my own usage it gets so many things wrong, that i can't trust a single word it says about a topic I don't already have significant knowledge

Switzerland, where I'm from uses 1'023.7, often 1'023,7 in handwriting and at least in my region when spoken you also say comma. So it took my a while to parse as I become more and more exposed to number formats from surround

At least for the creators I follow, they use alternative platforms for additional content (not replacement for their YT videos) for things that don't perform so well trough the YT algorithms like long form, in-depth videos that are le

Plenty of Youtubers with millions of subscribers regularly advertise their content on other video platforms such as Nebula. Doesn't seem to be an issue.

Overall I had very mixed experience with chats for support, because it is impossible to get past the bot. Or if, it takes age for a human to show up, then they disconnect if i don't respond immediately. But my bank, which is horrible i

I found, often it is actually faster, after a very brief discussion, to just do what the client wants and let them (or you) realize that they were in the wrong. Then reverse it without being smug "I told you so" about it. E.g year

I also highly recommend the NHS website. The information there a couple of years ago helped me losing a lot of weight and adapt a healthier overall lifestyle. The information is dry, concise and easy to understand for a layperson. I cannot
