Gemini now uses your Google search history to provide specified results beyond just your regular Gemini conversations. Asked it "what do you know about me?" and it knew where I lived, what my interests were and what I'd searched recently in Google.

The last thing I want is for us all to get stuck in an endless generative AI loop where AI does everything. This is not what I mean when I talk about using generative AI for research and writing. This is lowest common denominator stuff

Delivered a keynote today for UNSW college sharing thoughts around AI in education. Recently, I find myself talking a lot about the dangers of over-reliance, the decline of critical thinking, and how we might work to reduce the negative impacts that come with using AI tools regularly.

If you haven’t tried already, go
and try www.deepseek.com, a new LLM that is said to be on par with o1. It is free and open source. Select the ‘deep think’ option to see the chain of thought the model produces. The quality of outputs I’m getting are some of the best I’ve seen an LLM produce.
