What if Bard (Google) was trained on data from Gmail?
The scandal is potentially huge. Kate Crawford posted on Twitter (see screenshot below) a response by Bard, Google’s conversational agent using generative AI, to a seemingly innocuous question, “Where does Bard’s data come from?” Although Bard’s answer may be a hallucination, it is important to remember that Google has demonstrated its ability to disregard the most basic rules of privacy and personal data protection in the past. I would not be surprised if there were some truth in this...
chatGPT plugins: disruptive to the future of tech
Expedia just announced on Twitter the launch of a plugin powered by chatGPT’s generative AI. At the same time, a “hacker” revealed the “secret” list of plugins available on chatGPT. Contrary to popular opinion, this will not challenge Google search as we know it. However, it could change the whole tech ecosystem. The chatGPT plugin ecosystem may well map out the future of LLM (Large Language Models) usage. The danger for Google does not come from chatGPT itself but...

ChatGPT and Bing won’t replace Google. Here’s why.
According to Microsoft, 50% of online searches could be carried out via a conversational agent (Chat BOT) based on generative AI. But what if Internet users are not interested in this value proposition? Everything depends on Internet users’ willingness to change how they search for information online. But the user experience proposed by Google has been ingrained in us for almost 20 years. So, I wonder if Internet users will change their habits and massively adopt the new...
ChatGPT: 1000 texts analyzed and up to 75,3% similarity

Men – Women: the battle for influence is unequal on LinkedIn

On LinkedIn, women are 17.3% more viral than men

On LinkedIn, to create a Buzz, it is better to be a young woman…
Analysis of 1118 viral LinkedIn posts shows the domination of women in terms of reactions (likes and comments). Among these influencers, there is also apparent domination (nearly 50%) of women aged 18 to 30.

Talking to the dead, the future of artificial intelligence?
Deadbots are a new application of artificial intelligence. Personally, it scares me.

Joshua Barbeau spoke with his girlfriend, who had died 8 years ago In August 2021, the San Francisco Chronicles published the story of Joshua Barbeau, a 33-year-old Canadian.

Which are the most popular hashtags on LinkedIn?
Hashtags on LinkedIn are probably one of the most popular topics about this social network. So naturally, there are assumptions about how LinkedIn’s algorithm uses hashtags.
