With zero coding knowledge and chatGPT as my guide, I built a working chatbot from scratch—no judgment, just step-by-step guidance that actually worked.

ChatGPT didn't just answer my technical question—it browsed my website, adapted its guidance for a non-techie, then verified I did it right.

In just three months, every major search engine now has AI chat integrated—and with ChatGPT's new internet access and plugins, the game has changed for SEO.

I explore how AI is reshaping global power dynamics—from China's 2030 AI superpower ambitions to military applications—and why the race for AI dominance matters.

I tested GPT-4 as a reasoning engine to critique my analysis on AI's impact on paid search and SEO—and then had it rewrite the entire piece to fix its own criticisms.

I deep dive into GPT-4's technical paper to uncover the risks OpenAI is tracking—from emergent agentic behavior to power-seeking—as Microsoft rapidly integrates AI across Office 365.
I tested GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 on summarizing Ray Dalio's SVB collapse analysis—the difference in depth and detail surprised me more than I expected.

We spent days trying to illustrate my daughter's story with AI art tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion—only to hit a wall maintaining character consistency across scenes. (Note: AI image generation has improved dramatically since this 2023 post. Tools like Midjourney v6+, DALL-E 3, and Flux now handle character consistency much better.)

I tested Bing Chat extensively and found Microsoft is already showing ads—they're cleverly embedded in highlighted source citations, appearing when you click to verify information.

AI-powered search could slash paid search revenue as fewer queries meet higher accuracy demands, forcing advertisers into costlier auctions with uncertain ROI.

I fact-checked the fact-checker's claims about Bing AI fabricating financial data—turns out the made-up numbers problem is real and worse than I hoped.

Google Trends data reveals ChatGPT interest doubled in two weeks while Google Bard's search interest is rising even faster—here's what the regional data tells us about the AI race.
