No, this isn’t a joke. What you see in the picture is my Huawei MateBook E (running the almighty Microsoft Windows 11) right before I had to urgently shove it into the freezer. Yes, the freezer. Because apparently, "standby" on Windows now means "let’s fire up the fans and turn this tablet into a portable grill." Excellent work, Microsoft. Truly, a masterpiece of modern computing. Now, as someone who’s been a PC user (and, dare I say, a computer scientist) for most of my adul

It’s October 2025, and at Graypes we are preparing a product demo showcasing real-time smart document search, handling large documents such as books, scientific papers, or university materials, and generating one-page A4 summaries that can be instantly printed. For this demo, we set up 7 printers (all 6–8 years old, low-cost inkjet models from HP ) and connected them to 7 PCs: 📌 3 running Windows 11 📌 4 running Ubuntu 20.04 Here’s what happened: ❌ On Windows 11, w

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

At Graypes , we conducted extensive testing with nearly 3,500 prompts containing linguistic errors, comparing the performance on content understanding of today’s most widely used large language models ( LLMs ) — including DeepSeek AI , Oktay Sinanoğlu , Google Gemini, Perplexity , Microsoft Copilot, Mistral AI , and Claude . Our evaluation focused on how well each model manages linguistic mistakes across 3,500 prompts, categorized into: 📍 Solecism (grammar/synta

Current valuations of AI companies implicitly assume that, within the next three to four years, these firms will either generate multi-trillion dollars in incremental revenue or enable enterprises to realize a comparable amount in cost savings that directly enhance profitability. To date, there is limited evidence of significant revenue expansion attributable to AI adoption; few executives report that AI has materially increased their top line. What we do observe,

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. Combining a programmer with the USSR flag could imply political or ideological associations that may reinforce stereotypes or misrepresent historical context. If you're in

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

I spent most of August in the beautiful, picturesque town of Arosa, Switzerland. While there, I wanted to find the best bike trails to explore the mountains. At first, I tried Google Search and Google Maps, but the results were scattered, generic, and not really helpful. Too many alternatives, yet no clear best option. Then I turned to ChatGPT. With just a bit of back-and-forth, I quickly narrowed down to 2–3 great recommendations—and ended up discovering my favorite trail:

We’ve all seen it before: First it was PowerPoint. Then Dashboards. Then "agile." Now it’s AI prompts and "AI strategy." 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
