The challenge this month should be a good learning experience for me and I am sure others as well. I don't know much about AI and haven't looked much into it. I have heard about people doing some amazing things with AI to improve their businesses but I have yet to jump on board with anything yet. To be honest, I don't even know what is out there for me to take advantage of but I look forward to learning about some things that I could try myself.

I can only think of a couple of things that I use that have AI components to them. One is a robot vacuum and I like how it works, haha. It made a map of my home and when I tell it to clean, it will roam around and pick up dust off my floors for me, haha. It probably could be effortless for me but I still move a few things around the house while it cleans for it to clean more areas and not get tangled up on something.

The other thing I use that has AI built-in, and most of you are probably tired of hearing about it, haha, is My Boy Blue. My Boy Blue is pictured and I guess I use it heavily for business since it drives me and my clients around the city. It probably has more AI stuff than I even know of, but what I love is that it continues to get better with software updates. I get excited anytime there is an update because, after the update, My Boy Blue is usually noticeably better and can do more than it could do before. It updates like a phone and I am always amazed by how it can sometimes fix itself remotely without me even having to take it into the shop. For instance, one time my 12V battery died and I couldn't do anything with the car, it was dead as dead could be, haha. This has happened with previous vehicles I have had and I had to wait for someone to come jump start it, usually roadside service that took forever. With My Boy Blue, I simply used my phone app to request roadside assistance and someone immediately started chatting with me to find out what the issue was. After a bit, they told me to try it now. I went to My Boy Blue and sure enough, it was as if nothing was wrong, they had remotely given me power from elsewhere and told me to take it into the service center to have the battery replaced, and this was free of charge! The other thing it does and continues to get better with is driving itself. Yes, you heard me right, I don't even have to drive I can plug in an address and My Boy Blue will take me there, haha. This feature is in beta testing though, so it certainly isn't perfect, but it will already take me from point A to point B without me having to do anything other than acknowledge I am present and ready to take over if the need arises. Friends and clients have been blown away by what it does and even those that are very skeptical about it become fairly comfortable after actually experiencing it. I have never had a car that got better over time like this one does and I am sure that everyone who knows me can tell how much I love My Boy Blue!!!

Hmm, I seem to recall a time when the powers that be in your gas-fueled Lexus RX350 took you to the wrong restaurant Endre Barath, Jr., haha.  All I can say is that you don't know what you are missing out on, but I have a feeling that one day you will, haha.

The whole, drive by itself car has me a bit concerned. Not sure if I am ready for this. I do know as you pointed out, that many of us are already utilizing AI without really noticing.

Even though it can drive itself already Dr. Paula McDonald it's still learning and far from the point where I would completely allow it to drive itself, haha.

I'm quite behind when it comes to AI.

You have your boy blue and I have my 14 year old JEEP. I don't even know some of the buttons on it, not that it has very many. HaHa

I love my car so much and I hope to never replace it.

That is one of the things that I love about My Boy Blue Sharon Tara not so many buttons, the car just knows what to do without me having to control it with tons of buttons, haha.

Your Boy Blue is too smart for me, Brian. It would be fascinating to test drive. Speaking of AI, I have toyed with AI writing, and AI photography. There is much to learn about these things.

Brian England  I am not missing anything, here in California, during the summer tell us not to use electricity for Air Conditioning because we do not have enough electricity... then to boot add electric cars to the mix, they will be telling us not to fill up the car??? or they will just shut down the electric grid then what?

You are right about that Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! and slowly but surely I am embracing it as it comes my way, haha.  I haven't been out looking for it though.

You better be careful about test driving Pat Starnes-Front Gate Realty because once you to, you will most likely want to buy one, haha.  I didn't test drive until I was ready and after driving the car for a while, I wish I had of bought it 5 years prior since it was WAY better than the Toyota Camry that I bought, and surprisingly much more affordable as well, haha.

I fully embrace AI when it comes to things like vacuums, Brian England. Anything that makes everyday life a little bit easier is a good thing. I am wary of it in many other aspects, though, it too easily can alter our reality.

It sounds like you're already getting a taste of the practical applications of AI in daily life, and it's exciting to see your enthusiasm about exploring further! AI indeed has vast potential to revolutionize not just household tasks, like with your robot vacuum, but also complex business operations. Your experience with 'My Boy Blue' is a great example of how AI can enhance efficiency and convenience, continuously improving through updates. This evolving technology is not just about automation; it's about creating smarter, more adaptive systems that learn and grow over time. As you delve deeper into AI, you'll find an array of tools and applications that could be beneficial for your business and personal life. Keep an open mind, and you'll be amazed at what AI can do!💯

Hi Brian:

There's no doubt we are surrounded by AI and don't think too much about it unless there is a technology glitch or things don't go as planned.

It appears that  you and My Boy Blue are pretty sympatico, and it just keeps getting better! Sounds like My Boy Blue is the one who is really in charge...pun intended.

My Boy Blue is certainly more reliable than ActiveRain Jeff Dowler, CRS and I wonder if Ben is just going to shut it down since he doesn't seem to be delivering on promises he made.

Eileen Burns 954.483.3912 it was free while the vehicle was under warranty.  I had it happen after the vehicle was out of warranty and it cost me $108, they came to my house and replaced it.  The easiest service call I could hope for, haha.
