Interacting with AI using web applications is similar to Googling. Google allows you to type your search prompt into the address bar. It returns a list of links you can click to find more information related to your search prompt. In 2024, Google started adding AI overviews to the search results. If you type a search prompt in Safari or Firefox, a Google search will be run, and the results will look the same as they do in Google.
Microsoft Edge started using its Bing search engine to return AI overviews in 2023.
In the past few years, the growth of AI has influenced the browser search experience. This paves the way for interacting with different models directly. The models we'll experiment with in the course each have their user interface served up in a web-based or mobile application.
There are many AI models available. We'll use free models. However, the free accounts they provide may have limits. For example, ChatGPT has a two-image per day limit. Creating images, video, and audio tends to have stricter limits because they require more processing. Most of the interactions in this course will focus on text because we seek help with problem-solving through dialog.
