I would certainly have voted yes in the poll questioning likelihood of AI in household appliances by the end of this year and surprised by the degree of doubt. I also know that my mother of Hut 6 Bletchley would have been fascinated by the advances and scope of AI. The conversation about the question of ethics would also have much engaged her in the endless internal discussion that she had with herself after a strong religious upbringing.

I’ve just asked perplexity.ai for the route in Scotland from Bishopbriggs to North Berwick that avoids bridges lower than 14 foot high suitable for an hgv and it was hopeless....

Yeah it seems directions aren’t its strong point. At least not yet. A reoccurring theme seems to be AI is good but takes a bit of work still to make it great.

For me, I answered No to the poll because I never buy something when it first comes out. Far too expensive for one thing.. Also, I love the idea of investing in something like Perplexity but naturally as a semi normal person, I don't get the option. Love your posts though and looking forward to more. Thanks!
