The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you use any AI, what do you use it for?

Pretty much anything for which I used to use Google where I would check multiple search results. So now I just use Google for cases where the top result is the one I want e.g. the score of the hockey game.

Shopping is a good one. I recently was shopping for an amplifier and gave Perplexity the features I wanted and asked for the leading models in a certain price range. I could then ask follow-up questions on whether those models worked with the features of my existing equipment.

It's great for open-ended queries in areas in which I only have a passing knowledge. It gives me a summary that I would normally need to go through several websites to obtain. It then answers follow-up questions in the same context.
