Where I let the 79-year-old expert do the explaining!
You're well aware by now about the sudden explosion of Artificial Intelligence apps that are now available to the public, and which companies like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI are actively encouraging us to use. We've had speakers visit us to talk about the risks and benefits of using AI, and we've had some Share and Learn workshops where we did hands-on practice with apps such as Gemini, Copilot, and ChatGPT.
We have thermostats in our homes to make our environment more comfortable. Why would we ignore using them?
The short answer is... we don't ignore using them (though we recognize there may be a price to pay if we want to use extra heating or cooling). Using the "Settings" options in your AI app is all about making it more comfortable for you to use, with the added bonus of usually not costing you anything extra!
