artificial intelligence – My Game Reviews

Black Friday Sales Soar Because of AI

AI chatbots are one of the major reasons why Black Friday sales were so strong. This year’s weather was much colder than the previous and people were more inclined to be indoors to spend money in cyberspace rather in the stores.

The influence of AI is the real winner here and it shows this is what is going to help Artificial Intelligence gain a foothold in our homes. It’s not going to be physical AI at first like a M3GAN robot but one on the screen helping us make purchases.

Amazon Rufus is clear example of how powerful such a tool, AI is really. With the ability to type in your desires into a chatbot, dealing with incomplete search results is not on your mind. It is about creating a frictionless buying experience. The ability for Amazon Rufus to check prices and then it buy an item for you at the right price will help customers and businesses.

For businesses, it will be that the ability to manage a businesses’ supplies will be easier.

One will be able to get the supplies that one wants at the prices that they want in a timeframe which give them flexibility, giving their businesses more strength.

AI chatbots such as Spark on Walmart show that companies are also attempting to integrate it into the lives of consumers.

AI isn’t just about whether we can make photos or videos with it. What is more important to integrate into our daily lives and have been holistically react to our decisions that we make in meatspace.

This is an important approach which will keep the move towards AI system be sustainable.

Bayou Bot: The Nature of AI Art Today

AI art has become very sophisticated in the past couple years. When I began using it in January 2023, the creations were amazing from what was possible but they were crude. My first AI generations were focused on the Roman Empire and they were rather crude at the time. However, I could see the potential was there and now three years later, the creations are much higher in quality.

It is now possible to create any reality one wishes in text, image, audio and video.

These two images show what is possible. One can have a robot in the bayou, you can also have a Celtic Archer in the Scottish Highlands, evading Roman soldiers. The variety is endless in here and I say it has made my imagination ever more engaging here.

The Celtic Archer image was not even my creation. It was made by a user on Grok and it reminded me of the movie Brave. This image of evocative of the protagonist but in live action and honestly looks better than the animation.

With all the remakes and sequels, we can use AI to make more interesting stories.

It is not about replacing the human but about enhancing our abilities. If a machine can also make it a story on its own, I welcome such introduction of yet another story type into our age. Maybe they have an inherent nature which we haven’t yet seen.

Machine art and human art can work together. Sometimes in conflict. sometimes in equilibrium but I believe that the artistic side of us, the inherent soul in us will be much enriched by this wave of AI creations empowering our imaginations.

Mastering Email Searches with Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot has been my favorite chatbot since it released under as Bing Chat in 2023.

One of the most interesting new features which has been included in the AI chatbot is the ability to search through your emails through context on the Copilot website. You do not have to open the email client or go on the website and use the chatbot already included in it. You can just simply go to the web version of Copilot.

To get your inbox connected to your Copilot account, you have to follow these steps.

In the chat window here, there is an icon that is here with the arrow.

Click on the icon and these options will appear.

These options allow you to connect your email account to Copilot. As such, you are training the AI model with your data and making it more usable to your specific needs here.

On my computer, I tend to have Microsoft OneDrive, Outlook and Gmail as connected to my Copilot AI.

To start, all you simply need to do is write out a prompt about emails and give context about your search. This isn’t just about keywords anymore, but you can write in generalities which makes this more precise than the old systems here.

When you get a result here, it will give you the list of emails according to your search. Links are included in search and when you click on it, it opens the web client to your inbox.

This is a very powerful feature in Copilot. Instead of opening your email client with tons of emails to sync into your inbox, you can simply search for them here. Instead of just looking at keywords, you can put context into your search, making it easier to see what you are looking at here.

In the image above, Copilot sometimes will organize your prompt’s answer into a chart. This is the most optimal way in order to look at your emails.

What makes this so powerful is that you continue the conversation. In earlier versions, you only had keywords to work on. Now, the AI provides recommendations at the end of each answer, giving you more opportunities to optimize your emails.

Writing specific prompts also allow you move beyond keywords in your search. Here is a clear example of how powerful Copilot is.

As you can see here, Copilot is capable of more than just listing your emails in chronological order or according to specific topics. It is able to be a secretary and provide context to each individual email in your inbox.

In comparison to earlier generations of Outlook, such a tool is going to make many White-collar professionals more efficient in their jobs. It will even add newer insights to their professional careers that they wouldn’t ordinarily have.

Copilot is an amazing tool which makes something so mundane and ordinary into something that has greater potential to unlock creativity and productivity in more workers.
