Navigating the world of generative AI can feel overwhelming, especially for those just taking their initial steps into this burgeoning field.
A question I am frequently asked is, “So, where do I start with generative AI? What's the first step? And which tool should I use?” The tool you choose will be contingent upon your specific needs and objectives. Do you wish to distill vast amounts of text? Craft compelling narratives? Or create stunning visual artwork? To assist you in making these decisions, I have compiled this introductory guide:

You Can Replace Siri With ChatGPT On Your iPhone, Here's How BY BGR
I opened with the following comment: This article was originally published on March 12, 2023, but with the recent release of GPT-4V, and a continued silence from Apple on the subject of AI, it may now be even more relevant than it was before.
BGR Writes: It's very likely that Apple will give Siri formidable powers in the near future, similar to what ChatGPT can do. Or better. But Apple isn't in the same hurry as Google and Microsoft to respond to the ChatGPT threat by launching flawed versions of AI bots. While we wait for Siri to gain ChatGPT powers, we can always replace Siri on iPhone, iPad, and Mac thanks to a shortcut that lets you harness the power of ChatGPT directly on an Apple device. Technically, we're not really replacing Siri, as Apple doesn't offer iPhone users that sort of access to system apps. We're just using Siri to trigger a ChatGPT shortcut via voice, and then the latter will answer our queries:
