Gen Z Prefers An Old Friend When Accessing A Chatbot -- March 28 ,2026

Locator: 50356.

One source suggests:

• Generation Z (born 1997 - 2004) (if so, currently 22 - 29 years of age): prefers ChatGPT.

Gen Z prefers ChatGPT:

 For my most serious, most important questions, I use ChatGPT. For quick questions while blogging I generally use Google Gemini. My son-in-law, an engineer, software coder, and part-time web page designer, prefers Claude.

Gemini, I find, is very, very matter-of-fact, business-like colleague; ChatGPT comes across as an old friend with whom I could discuss philosophical questions over a bit of Scotch.

Apple -- Siri ChatBot -- Expectations -- March 28, 2026

Look at this, a bit ambiguous:

AI prompt:

It's being reported that Apple IOS27 will have a new Siri that will look a lot like ChatGPT or Claude. That seems a bit ambiugous. It's unlikely Apple could have trained their own chatbot to this level. Are their indications that Apple is licensing other chatbots (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT). By the way, I believe these are considered the best of the best.

Another AI prompt: 

Apple's chatbot access will be within the Apple device and will access only what is recorded on the Apple device, consistent with EDGE as opposed to Cloud technology. Is that accurate?

Reply:  

And finally, the last AI prompt:

Apple's hybrid model (EDGE + Cloud) will access the Cloud via encryption furthering increasing security. Is that accurate?

3 - 5 years to bring back on line.

It could have been worse. 

This analysis suggests the US DOD and intel community underestimated Iran's capabilities.

Conservative estimate that it will be up and running in three years.

Probably slightly less than five years. 

It appears this long note was edited after an earlier version. The part about "it could have been worse" has been removed, unless it's posted elsewhere and I missed it.

With all fees, taxes, etc., we're paying 20.0 cents / kWh. One year ago we were paying 17.0 cents / kWh.
