AVCWhat Will Happen In 2025
I've done a lot of these January 1st look forward posts in the 20+ years I've been blogging. I've used many different approaches. I sometimes talk big themes, like I did last year. I sometimes focus on just one thing. And sometimes I just make a bunch of predictions. I am going to do the latter approach today because I feel like it and it's so much fun. 1/ Apple and Google will leverage their existing market power to surpass OpenAI/ChatGPT in consumer AI prompts by the end of 2025. 2/ Waymo w...

AVCGemini Great Grandmother
My mom, who is 95, asked me at the Thanksgiving dinner table if I could help her use AI on her computer. I was more than happy to oblige.
So on Sunday, during my regular weekly visit, we put Gemini onto her laptop via browser bookmarks and the Gemini app onto the home screen of her iPhone. I considered ChatGPT, but figured since she already uses Gmail and Google Search, she might have a head start with Gemini.
We spent about an hour prompting Gemini to do all sorts of things. She was excited about its knowledge of history, including her family history, its knowledge of travel and places around the world, and its knowledge of medicine and health care. We used it to draw some pictures, explain some science, and give us some advice.
By the time I left, she was already familiar with and excited to use Gemini and I expect she will. A lot.
My mom is very fortunate that at 95 she still has all of her wits about her and I am thrilled that she has the technology at her fingertips to learn, explore, and expand her mind.
I feel a little badly that I didn't suggest this to her a few years ago and she had to drag it out of me. So if you have elderly parents and haven't turned them onto AI, I would encourage you to do that. I think it's gonna be great for them.
