I've been flighting with ElevenLabs for over an hour trying to get it to pronounce Geocodio correctly. Tried IPA, tons of phonetic spellings, nothing. I just finally got it to work... by explaining the intonation of each part using Chinese tones 🤯

Just lured my dog inside with the promise of a treat. Walked over to the drawer. Gave him the treat. Dog takes the treat. Runs back outside. Round 2. I have to open the treat drawer to get him back inside. I go close the door. He puts his nose in the treat drawer. My dog is smarter than me

Today was another fun day! I had to retire from gymnastics at age 14 after breaking my back, and I’m pretty sure teenage me would cry tears of joy if she knew I’d do gymnastics regularly as an adult. Adult gymnastics simply wasn’t a thing in those days, I thought I was done for good

“If I have some bangers in the freezer” is my “if you give a mouse a cookie.” Well, if I have some bangers, I might as well throw some tomatoes on the pan while it’s hot. And perhaps I could crack and egg or two in there as well. And maybe I have some beans in the cabinet…

🤸‍♀️ Every year in gymnastics, my goal is to show a harder tumbling pass than the previous year. I didn’t think I would this year, as I spent the whole fall out with back issues and only started training again in Dec. But I did it — added a back handspring to my pass! Makes me happy

interesting implications for marketing

Summary: Users choose AI to explore and synthesize information; but they rely on traditional search when accuracy and trust are critical.
Users are increasingly turning to generative AI (genAI) for information-seeking tasks — but not uniformly. In a recent study, we observed how people chose between AI chatbots and traditional search for real tasks. Users turned to AI when they started with vague ideas, juggled multiple requirements, or combined information from many sources. They used traditional search when they needed accuracy, control, and trusted sources.
