the same in Europe?

This research is from the USA where Amazon dominates e-commerce and so I would expect that figure to be lower over here. If they're honest [are there any who are? 😏] I think those folk selling AI would be  disappointed at these results.

what do you think?

The headline of this article says "Influencers Are Still Making Their Mark with Gen Z" ... but is that the case when none of the numbers are over 50%? And what about the research methodology ... what is a 'celebrity or influencer'? eg if you follow one sports person do you appear in this survey's results.

how long?

Six weeks seems a long time to enter something on to a computer?

que?

 

where's that then?

This map - is it a map? - is the result in the search featured in the previous post. It's a town-centre shopping precinct which could be in just about any town or city in the UK. Ho hum.

there's no such place

Sunderland is in the county of Tyne and Wear ... Durham is a city about 20 miles from Sunderland. No excuse. None. 

not right write?

Saw this 'tip' from a source I normally value. But: it's for writing website content - so not thousands of words - so wouldn't it be quicker, and more effective, to just write it off the top of your head and not use ai? 

now you see it ...

 ... now you don't. A lack of testing, methinks [and poor design in the first place].

it's funny 'cos it's true[ish]

 

nice sign

A few weeks ago I posted a story of a business where the opening hours were hard to find. Well, here's an example of good practice. This is from the google listing for a business, with the search being outside it's hours of business. Note that after you've set it up, Google does the work for you.

Premier-Image?

 

in the great scheme of things ...

 ... five minutes isn't that long. But it is.

Ad spend well spent?

Five million impressions for an ad that seems to be for a podcast 🤔 

Whatever it's about, why did the advertiser/X think I would be interested?

Ad spend well spent?

 I have no idea what either of these are advertising ... 

ai shopping assistants ...

 ... these numbers seem a little generous to me, I'd like to see the research methodology 🤔

ai - a sensible review

Well worth 20 mins of your time. From the excellent Hannah Fry ... Why AI Agents are either the best or worst thing we’ve ever built.

it's funny 'cos it's true

 

that's a good idea, I think i'll order one ...

 

what's the point if ...

... 'Grok can make mistakes', [you should] 'verify its outputs'.

In case you're not a follower of football: it was 2-0 at half time [surely every report on this match anywhere on the web would have reported this correctly], particularly as the third goal [on the hour mark] came in the second half. If an LLM can get something as simple and obvious as this wrong, why would to trust it for anything important?

one thing you don't change is your team [3]

 And these are local rivals to my team ... 

one thing you don't change is your team [2]

 

one thing you don't change is your team

 ... and Liverpool ain't my team.

none of these are 'my city' [and most of them aren't even cities]
