2022 was an amazing year for AIs.

ChatGPT #

• ChatGPT can effectively replace Stack Overflow to a large extent, if you learn how to ask questions to it. Example queries that work amazingly, returning exactly what you would expect, with detailed explanation and/or context:

  — PKGBUILD how to specify git version — python how to sort list reverse — systemd create unit file that forks — xorg start i3wm with startx — git update all submodules to latest tip — typescript make simple post request — chromium difference between args and declare_args — sekiro versus elden ring — generate random number between 10 and 20 — I cannot run the code. Please generate a random number for me — between 10 and 20 though — add pasta before or after boiling water? — what is the difference between auszahlen and Bargeld abheben? — write a trip packing checklist for me

  Someone even wrote a Chrome extension to query ChatGPT alongside a Google search: https://github.com/wong2/chat-gpt-google-extension (chatgpt4google.com). I couldn’t get it to work for some reason though.

Stable Diffusion #

Given a query (text), it generates an image for you. It pairs up quite nicely with Slides (when looking for inspiration) and can effectively replace Google Images to some extent.
