AI just cannot do this !
AI will outperform humans in many areas, especially in tasks involving pattern recognition, data analysis , and decision making . But AI cannot fully replace humans in everything, like sports , because of: ❗️ Physical embodiment & limitations Sports are not just about performance ; they are about pushing the limits of human physicality, dealing with fatigue, injury, aging, and more. Robots might outperform humans in strength, speed, precision, but they don’t have

Funny "guardrail" about USSR in Microsoft Copilot !
I asked the three widely-used LLMs, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT to: 📜 "create the image of a programmer with the USSR flag in the background" While the other two LLMs produced the desired image, Microsoft Copilot responded with this peculiar message: 🚩 "I can't create that image.

Software business lessons learned from bike-trailing apps !
This August, as already mentioned in a previous post, I spent time in the beautiful mountain town of Arosa, Switzerland. To explore the bike trails, I turned to tech, Google, Google Maps, ChatGPT, and a handful of dedicated trail apps. To my surprise, ChtaGPT outperformed Google in helping me discover the best routes, but I also tested a few popular biking apps: ❌ AllTrails → Overly complicated UI. Too many options = no options. ❌ komoot → I couldn’t even log in. Support reac

In the last couple of years, I have either been informed of or witnessed firsthand numerous executives and managers with little actual contribution to their organizations suddenly reinventing themselves as "AI visionaries": 🚩 Proclaiming that every task is "easy with AI" 🚩 Evangelizing their "holy" AI prompts 🚩 Boasting they can "do in minutes what onc

VCs and Entrepreneurs: The Summer LinkedIn Post Index !
Here follows an ad hoc summer algorithm for evaluating venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, based solely on their August LinkedIn activity. 📍 For VCs: A single LinkedIn post in August suggests they are short on capital and using the summer lull to promote their fund instead of relaxing in the south of France. 📍 For entrepreneurs: A quiet August feed indicates they might be on vacation rather than pushing their venture forward, even during the "slowest" month of the ye
