Well. Let me ask you this? I'm new to Discourse and what it offers. I would honestly love to pick your brain on some of this stuff some night, if that would be of potential? Maybe there's a way to train some of the AI? I've done some rough searches just in the meantime, and there does seem to be some possibility there.

I don't want to push your concerns aside. At the very least lets hear them out. Is that fair?

If you want AI out of your life, look at a browser called Vivaldi. It has become my go to.

Their 2026 development roadmap:



@Son of Hobbes :bighug: @Mike20132 :bighug:...


You know my tech handicap...me...:coffee:..but I had this conversation with my son ages ago...and it's his job.

As soon as I realised AI could Lie..:pass:.. because then it would be no more helpful than any other man with a video on the net...:shrug:..

And he said Trusted Sources mother..:d5:..trusted sources.

Simple as that.

Learning curve and..we'll learn...:d5:
 
Perhaps I could have been more clear..

Gemini is integrated in the new site. What is it supposed to do?

Does one ask it a question and it applies its "intelligence" to scan posts for an answer? That is going to be problematic if you are concerned with the accuracy of the information it provides.

Your site, your call. I won't say another word about it.

@Mike20132 I learned to program on a Univac 9100, with 4K of ferric oxide ring memory in 1970 at ECPI - Electronic Computer Programming Institute. One of the basic tenants we learned then that applies today is, GIGO garbage in garbage out. I spent 40 years in IT and that rule has never been less important than now in the AI age. I am confident that if AI scanned only AFN for an answer to a grow question there is a good chance the information would be in error. AFN is not infallible now and never has been. A human being that has no knowledge of farming is just as likely to get some bad information searching here without AI as with AI. In the new site AI might be able to pick up that bad information before it gets disseminated?

A large amount of "information" posted here on AFN is just plain wrong- so much so that members who really know what they are talking about stopped sharing because battling with idiots gets you no where. I am not just talking about doing something different that works. Lord knows there are many many ways to grow cannabis that will get you to a good harvest. Case in point is Cal-mag. Years ago it was the cure for everything when in reality it was the cause of so many problems. I would wager that there are still some folks on here that recommend adding Cal Mag when the real culprit is to much N.

I understand your point of view, in fact I share it on many levels. I am retired and I enjoy being retired - well except for my book :haha: I don't think we need to fear AI, I think we need to learn how to make it work better for us.
