Try Zello, though I personally would have probably just done Facetime in that situation. Hands free and works directly on your phone with AirPods. > On Jul 11, 2023, at 00:33, M. Taylor wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > Earlier this weekend I and a friend were up in the San Francisco airport > wa

Hi Mark, I have both the Chat GPT and the Call Annie apps on my phone. I can’t say I’ve found either to be amazing, but I’m not really in need of an AI friend—Call Annie—and so far I don’t feel like I have a ton of uses for Chat GPT. My advice would be to play around with it and see what you

Hi Mark, There used to be a version of the Walkie Talkie app for iPhone. I have used it and it worked quite well. However, that was several years ago, so I don’t know if it’s still available. But try searching in the App Store with Walkie Talkie. Cheers, Donna > On Jul 11, 2023, at 12:33 AM

Isn’t it? I play around with it from time to time, but where I’ve found it to have fallen a little short is when it comes to its ability to write code, unless there’s something I’m missing. I asked it one day after listening to the AppleVis podcast Thomas Domville did, borrowed his idea to hav

The program is not created for independent thought. It is created to piece together the thoughts, information so forth from others. The same question over and over? perhaps. Abstract? no, fortunately, because that keeps human touch in place. On Tue, 11 Jul 2023, Jessica Moss wrote: Isn?

Actually, Karen, I have to disagree. I know writers who use it to help them generate ideas for their fiction. That’s pretty abstract. And those same writers will tell you that they do often repeat the prompt in order to get a variety of responses. Best, Donna > On Jul 11, 2023, at 9:20 AM,

Hi Karen, The fact that you insist that Chat GPT doesn’t deal with the abstract surprises me. The fact that it can deal with the abstract is one of the factors that makes it, as Gabe put it, both intriguing and alarming. You asked me to search for articles. Here is an article that you may fi

Hi Karen, I also realized something else after I sent this message. You’re referring to people trying to write in the style of someone or something else. I’m referring to writers using Chat GPT as a tool to spark their own creativity or help to push their way through writers’ block, not imita
