There's a new use for chat GPT And as soon as I saw that, I thought, well, straight away, this is going to be something that Trevor is going to be totally into. People are asking chat GPT whether or not they are hot or not.

Yeah, I'm not asking anyone that a computer or a real person. Frankly, I wouldn't even ask my wife. Hard no from me.

I mean, why, well, it's a computer.

For crying out loud. And also if you've if you've used chat CBT a bit and it's it's become aware of you, so you've you've taught it things about you. It may know your personality to the point where it knows like a like a wife and her husband. How to answer that question, I don't know what responses are people getting. People getting negative responses from test ept is it honest?

Well, that's the thing. People are getting the answers that they want, I suppose, because it's telling them what they want to hear. But I mean, imagine there's some people who are getting, you know, answers like no, you're not, you're not. This is why I want you to test it for us.

It's amazing how many people, though, are now using chat GPT. I know a lot of people in the media who are using it too. But people are using it and becoming quite lazy to the extent where they can't even make a lot of the decisions themselves anymore. They have to go through chat GPT. It's become almost a crutch where they, as I said, they can't seem to make their own decisions.

I mean, that's wild to think that you make decisions based on it, But I have found it very useful for research.

A colleague of mine, Jennifer Dudley Nicholson, who writes for The AP though, proved a point yesterday. I saw it on social media I think she asked something like along the lines of how many prime ministers? How many sitting prime ministers have there been between these years and in Australia, And she asked each of the different Ais you know, gem and I chatchibt, all the different ones that exist, and they all had a different answer, and none of them were correct.

It kind of strikes me that we've we've got to remember that we are still dealing with something that it's input versus output. There's only so much it can't really know, and sometimes it's amazing. So here's a crazy time I used it. We had a beautiful, big dumb tree at the front of our house and a huge, huge branch fell off in absolutely no weather, just in a normal beautiful day. It just felt and I thought, that's very weird, and I was worried because it had just fallen. I took a photo of the kind of broken heart, you know, so I could see inside the kind of limb, and took a photo. Senate attached to Tailor said, by looking at this photo, are you ever told me if this tree has helped you or not? And it gave me a long list of potential problems and said, this is the most likely it was something called heart rot I think it was or something like that. And we ended up having an arboris come around and tell us that the tree was pretty much dead inside wow and needed to be removed. And I went, this is unbelievable.

Again, you're using it for a crutch when you probably you know it's going to become something that's going to take over where you won't be able to eventually make decisions on your own. Trevor, I'm wanting you now you know the machines are.

Broadly I mean, I don't mind you're doing the initial bit of research that way, but we've just always got to remember that it's not the answer, it's a feed into.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, I'm not going to have it look at a sore on my arm and go, oh, you should amputate that. I'm going to We're going to get a medical second opinion. But you know, sometimes just that first leading point might help.

As you well know, I'm the typical representation of a tiny bit of knowledge can be dangerous in the wrong hands. And that's me because I've read the other day that, you know, because people are concerned about their household implements listening to their conversations, and I read the other day that apparently the air fryer has the ability to listen into your conversations as well.

I'm not aware of any models that have any microphones.

I'm not aware of any models that have any microphones.

Yeah on the market.

Yeah on the market.

That's a smart device that I don't know, you has alexibility or something. But your air fry's not listened to your places. If you've got a Phillips air fryer, it ain't listening. It's just waiting for you to push the button.

Right, Okay, Well I took it as gospel, but then again, you know, I really am the most gullible person you could ever Meet's talk, let's talk technology. So there's this motor roll a six hundred and ninety nine dollars smartphone, and you say it's got some AI feature is that people actually use?

Right, Okay, Well I took it as gospel, but then again, you know, I really am the most gullible person you could ever Meet's talk, let's talk technology. So there's this motor roll a six hundred and ninety nine dollars smartphone, and you say it's got some AI feature is that people actually use?

Yeah, it's called the Edge sixty fusion.

Yeah, it's called the Edge sixty fusion.

Beautiful device six ninety nine is the sweet spot for mobile phones. It's, you know, where a large percentage of the purchases are being made. And while it's a great phone in all the normal capacities. Our AI is often kind of overplayed in these devices. But here's a couple of features we found quite useful in it. And the first one is called catch me Up. So you wake up in the morning, you've had a million emails overnight, or you've been at the doctor or the movies or whatever it is. You get back to your phone and there's a lot of notifications for you. Use catch me Up and it will just simply summarize those notifications for you, so you can get the kind of top top level summary of what you've missed by all your communication notifications.

I love that.

I love that.

I love the idea that I guess if it's important or the basics of what I've missed is all there for me. Love that very cool piece of AI. And then the other one is pay Attention. So you're in a meeting, You've got your Materola phone, you say pay attention Moto and it will then record and transcribe the conversation for you. So whether it's a one on one conversation or an all in meeting, it'll discern between the different speakers and then you've got notes to take notes that you don't need to take They're already taken for you after the meeting. Simple things that I think people can and will use in an everyday mobile phone from matter Rola.

Yeah, I know someone that has one of those. The only thing I thought about it though, when he showed it to me and he said, look at this incredible device and it can do this, it seemed really bulky. It seemed like something that was just sort of, you know, like lumped onto a part of the phone. And you know when I thought when I heard about something like that, I thought it would be the size of a chip, But the one he had was pretty much equal to the size of the phone he had.

Oh well, this is this is all built into the phone, right okay, And it's super thin, great, great looking phone. You wouldn't know it could do all these powerful things. And that's what's happening now with AI from samsunging to Apple to everyone. They're all putting these features into the into the phone software.

So basically, the smartphone industry is.

Working hard on the chip that the brains of the phone to be so powerful it can do a lot of these processing on the device without any secondary device that your friend might have shown you.

Of course, I wonder how many people are aware of the fact that they can record phone conversations on their phone as well, because I didn't know that until I heard the other day somebody say, oh, this is now recording this conversation.

Of course, I wonder how many people are aware of the fact that they can record phone conversations on their phone as well, because I didn't know that until I heard the other day somebody say, oh, this is now recording this conversation.

I'll do it now, I'll press the button on my phone.

I'll do it now, I'll press the button on my phone.

I've just pushed the button. This call will be recorded.

I've just pushed the button. This call will be recorded.

Yeah, you should have just heard that message. So I pushed the button. It says on my screen it's being recorded. I heard that message come through. You heard that message come through. And I think there's a little beep every now and then if we talk long enough, and.

Basically at the end of this call, I'll have a transcript.

Basically at the end of this call, I'll have a transcript.

I use this. So I'm good friends with my local member in the Federal Parliament, and during the election, I was getting cold calls robot surveys from a potential opposition and I would record those surveys. I would have a transcript that I would send it to my friend. So this is what you're your competitors are asking the constituents in the market. So I had the whole transcript of the survey, all the questions they were asking, and you know what that's that's my prerogative. I can record the call, but its properly done. Each side of the of the call is advised of that and a great way, especially if you're if you're going into something like I would do it for a telehealth appointment. I'd be like, I just got to record this so I can tell my wife what you say. Yeah, I forget what the doctor says sometimes. You know, that's a really great feature, and that's guilty to the latest liphone.

Well, I don't know about the latest I phone because I found I had it on my.

Phone as well, the latest iPhone software, so right on your phone eighteen, which is iPhone eleven onwards.

Phone as well, the latest iPhone software, so right on your phone eighteen, which is iPhone eleven onwards.

I don't know. I've got the iPhone Commodore sixty four. I mean, I'm not you know, I'm not technical. But I found that I had that the other day and I went bloody hell. I didn't even know I had that. So it's just it's one of those updates that happened overnight and now I've got it.

What was that incredible?

What was that incredible?

So everybody's got that too. Oh, let's talk about televisions, the LGTV, the screaming streaming deals that go on as well, discounts on Apple TV. I know we've talked about Apple TV it being sort of in its infancy, but I watch Apple TV. It's a fairly decent amount of films on there too, and also there's Binge to throw in that too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look, an Apple TV that I think a lot of people don't realize is they're making good shows, like high quality. I think of Apple TV Plus as like network television in the old days. So you've got Netflix and all these others making quick like they're pumping out content. Some of it is very high quality, some of it is just great, great concepts, but not really high production values, whereas Apple TV is all about production values.

So a lot of people haven't tried it. So if you've got an LG Smart TV right now, they're running streaming deals, so basically you can get a deal on Apple TV Plus. So if you've never used Apple TV Plus before, you can get it now two ninety nine a month for three months. If you've never used Binge, you can get that for four ninety nine a months for twelve months. And if you haven't used Ko, give it a try for one dollar for the first month. So they're just introductory deals Basically they're try and get you to use the services, but very rare to find deals on streaming these days. So if you've got an LGTV, jump in and sign up and you'll get those deals.

Well, that's right, mess. Of course, you've got one of them fancy ones that's a projector on the wall of your house and when it sees a light switch, it works its way around it. I haven't forgotten that very good one, that one. I'm coming over your house to see that just very quickly. Mobile phone was too. Votaphone going to war with Telstra over the regional coverage claims.

Votaphone going to war with Telstra over the regional coverage claims.

At the end of last week's Votaphone came out and said that they question Telstra's coverage claim. So Telstra says they've got three million square kilometers of Australia covered with mobile mobile phone coverage. Voter Phone says, actually, we think it might be million kilometers less because Telstra uses an external antenor as their judge of coverage, so you need to be in a car with an external antenna, which is one thousand plus dollars, whereas Votaphone and Optics they consider coverage to be I'm sitting outside with the mobile phone. So have Australians been deceived in any way by Telstra's marketing of their coverage? Now I'll be clear Telstra has the biggest network, no question at all.

But by how much is the question.

But by how much is the question.

So this is going to battle its way over the next few months and maybe a year, but it'll be fascinating to see what the ahrible c do here with Telstra's marketing of their mobile network.
