Hey,

, ,

As much as we love ya, what's gonna happen now?

OpenAI has outlined a procedure for those who prefer not to include their websites in GPTBot’s data collection efforts. This guidance includes incorporating GPTBot directives into the website’s robots.txt file and configuring its access to specific content segments.

OpenAI has released the IP address range linked to GPTBot’s activities to achieve greater transparency. This release not only aids in identifying the bot’s actions but also provides the means to block its access if necessary.

Google's PaLM 2 was released this week....

Here is one of those really great articles that not only spells out the subject matter incredibly well but also provides examples. It goes in-depth on how the algorithm has been trained and includes countless relevant links.

Stay tuned.

It's already started and you need to hear this.

As the owner of dozens of domains and several websites, our hosting supplier is Netfirms, originally a Canadian company and we regularly rely on their customer support.

I called them yesterday and they no longer offer phone support, it's all online chats, bots, and a human if you make it that far.

Today I reached out to our cell provider, FIDO, and they too no longer offer customer support.

Why?

It's part of the AI revolution.

I don't mind chat support but as a busy executive, I don't have time to wait around for a chat. Once you get to a human (and sometimes they make it so difficult that you give up), they are usually engaged in multiple chats at once and you have to wait around forever for a response and sometimes that little bell that informs you they responded just doesn't work.

What changes have you noticed in your day-to-day life that may be taken over by AI?
