GenAI Diary

Last update: Tuesday 6/24/25

Diary of a computer savvy generative AI blogger

This page records the editor's experience as a computer savvy user of generative AI technology who only interacts with LLMs via chatbots, e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. He uses genAI whenever he thinks it will enable him to increase his productivity by doing things better and/or faster and/or with less effort. These notes reflect his successes and failures. 

All of his notes are dated, and will be modified or deleted if/when his subsequent experience suggests that the issues he identified have been improved or fully resolved.

Links to "Use Case" notes ...

• Use case: iPhones (or other smartphones) to enhance prouctivity  via generative AI
  
  
• Use case: Search and Think, i.e., which chatbots can or cannot search and think … how effectively.
