I was a popular blogger a decade ago, back when blogs meant something. So much so that I got interviewed by NYT’s and Al Jazeera Europe Live. Those days are over. The internet has gotten pretty junked up. Which means that for me to do research on the internet on a topic it takes some digging, some intuitive knowing and recognition of decent landing pages as sources.
Now, there’s a solution to that problem. GROK. Supposedly it is the only unbiased AI search tool. First when I found out about it I used it, liked it, then it took days or a week to come back to it. Now, I’m using it multiple times a day. It does the filtering for me. It is truly amazing. Whenever a question pops into my head, something I’ve wished I knew the answer to for a long time, I go to GROK and find what I trust is close to the best answer I might find. Medical, herbal remedies, questions to help family members with a problem, investments, art processes of artists whom I admire, you-name-it. Supposedly GROK can be fed an image of your recent lab work and make conclusions that will probably surpass your attending physician’s.
I am not using it to make any posts here… so far. I think that would defeat the purpose of having a site like this. Besides, I want to be one of the trusted sources that GROK uses ;-). I have asked it many spiritual-related questions already. Didn’t Socrates say its knowing which questions to ask?
Yes, AI has creativity issues. Should creatives be paid? I’ve long recognized that whatever you post on the internet has been given away and shared and is essentially free. If you don’t want to give it away, don’t post it out there.
I’ve no idea what the future holds. Searches became messed up in the last decade. Now AI search engines can remedy that. Disruptive technology is always the goal of the next wannabe techie, so where we go from here leaves me with some trepidation on many levels. But so far, we are all appreciating what our world wide web is capable of. Our grandparents would be astonished.
