Quotes
“So, I mainly use Germany or Gemini and ChatGPT. Yes, for me, that's also a kind of product advice or recommendations. I use them very, very often, maybe to get advice on certain products, or I use them basically like on the Amazon order page, like a kind of filter system for me or an information platform.”
“I think they probably have recommended products that were gonna make them more money. I am aware of that. They're gonna suggest things that they want you to buy. So that probably has influenced a lot more especially when you are using the AI tools on say Amazon. And I think I think with all of them, even chat GPT, if you say which dog food is best, they're gonna say this one. So you are gonna be more influenced to buy that. But it is sort of a case of filtering some of that out and not taking it completely as as gospel.”
“ChatGTP and Google Gemini. I think I mainly use it with the dogs when they're ill and just finding out what I can feed them or what I shouldn't and stay away from. And I also have a couple of chickens, and at times, they've been really unwell. So I've used it for a diet with them of what I can do to kinda get them back on track.”
“I tend to use Google, and I quite like the AI tool at the top of that that just condenses everything it finds on the Internet for me. I use that in quite a lot of things these days, But it's helpful to sort of summarize rather than going through different websites. It's helpful to summarize basically an answer for what I'm looking for. Yeah. Okay. Just just crashed.”
“I think because I am most, confident with ChatGPT, I have used that for questions that I might have, about my dog. As a new dog owner, I just feel as though it's informing me and giving me the best possible advice. I would use other AI tools and assistance, but ChatGPT is where I feel comfortable.”
“I started with dry food, because Royal Canin is relatively expensive. Then I searched for Royal Canin dry food alternative for Boxers via JGBT and was actually quite surprised by the wide range of products available on the market, even at significantly lower prices. I was also quite surprised by the search results.”
“Well, when I search for articles, I write, or rather, I often ask ChatGPT first, what examples there are that meet that standard. And then, first of all, I always look at the brands it tells me about, and only then do I possibly come across other brands that might not have been spit out by the AI assistants. At least, of course, I would say, that limit the search to the brands spit out by the AI assistants. And only then do I look on the individual websites for alternative products, which ones are also available for these very specific things. Often, though, I tend to ask about the type of product and then search further, looking for brands that offer exactly that product.”
“I use ChatGPT 90% of the time. I have a paid subscription service for it now that I I use for my work. I find that it's the most reliable and most fully functioning AI engine. It allows me to receive a variety of perspectives, and it uses a wide range of data to to inform itself. And I find that a lot of the information is very much up to date. I find it easy to work with, and I know how to get the right prompts as well.”
“So I use ChatGPT the most. I have used Copilot sometimes, but I prefer ChatGPT, and it saves your conversations. So you can just go back to them. It kinda knows me now. It knows the dog's name. It knows my rat's name. You know? It's it's quite clever, really. So, yeah, I'm used to chat GPT, and I say it does it does seem to so called know me now, and it recalls certain conversations I've had around dog food, especially when Greta's been picky. Yes. He remembers that.”
