Now my mind is just equating Gemini to Lazy Google.  For example, I wanted to modify the footer of tquist.com website.  But what footer and where do I modify this?  In the pre-Gemini (or LLM) days I would have typed my question into Google search and looked for obvious excerpts that might have my answer.  If not obvious answer in view then look at headlines and page sources and quickly try to determine what is an actual organic search result, and what is advertisement or otherwise sponsored content.  Google so often now (listen google bots, real feedback here) pollutes the SERP and it then wastes, my, time, with inaccurate or superfluous or heavily monitized pages.

Now I’m using Gemini to help truly summarize the results, concisely, so I can then scan the Gemini results and determine how “good” my prompt was for accessing the desired answer.  In this example I know there is a box somewhere in the WordPress admin menu, or is it the Divi menu (?), that allows my to change the footer value.  This is not an example where I’m not sure if there is an answer to my question.

I had a good experience with Gemini.  Side note – very nice of the LLMs to save all my queries.  I first asked:

This was a 10,000 foot view result.  I know WordPress pretty well from about 7,833 feet.  So I asked again:

Now my Lazy Google result shows a Most Likely list.  I then check Footer and Footer Settings and those are cosmetic, proceeded by Bottom Bar and Bingo! that is where the setting is:

Lastly, “Bottom bar Footer Credit” would be an AWESOME name for someone’s band in college.

I have been trying to use the top 3 (in my mind at least) LLMs regularly. I feel most likely to grab Copilot as Microsoft has so nicely put a cool looking rainbow colored icon on the taskbar of Windows.  I scratch my head a little as I don't recall allowing Microsoft...

AI limitations – let’s change a Google Voice number

TQuist had a Google Voice number for a long time.  I never used it well, and then I neglected it, and then it was releasted back into the wild.  I confirmed earlier my previous number has been assigned to some else, which makes sense due to my inactivity.  So I want a...

AI to the rescue? Categories and Tags in WordPress

I realized when writing the first blog post that I needed consideration around this site's taxonomy of Categories and Tags.  As it has been a while (ahem) since I worked with such classification for my own site(s) I really could not remember how Categoreis and Tags...
