Making sense of what matters - and why - for accurate generative AI, particularly in the workplace.
A four-month review of AI in two parts. Last week’s part 1 was a review focusing on models; this week it’s about other significant AI events – what has mattered in AI that isn’t model-related. Lots to cover, so let’s jump in to see what’s happened that matters. April 16: More Ads! OpenAI expands ads for the... The post Four Months of AI: Humans first appeared on Does it matter in AI? .
Time to catch up. It’s been four months since my last post, and in AI time, that’s an eternity. Here’s a quick review of the more significant stories – what has mattered in AI over that time, in chronological order. But even with short summaries, it’s a lot, so I’m breaking it into two posts.... The post Four Months of AI: Models first appeared on Does it matter in AI? .
After a hiatus, I’m back. Some life responsibilities forced me to take a break from my blog (my father passed away unexpectedly and my mother needs care). Thank you for your condolences, encouragement, and patience. Can we learn from AIs in the movies? My blog posts will be coming back gradually over the summer. But...

This topic has gotten too much attention to ignore. I’ve got a lot of blog post ideas, but not enough time to turn them into posts (guess I should be using AI). While those ideas percolate, here’s the rundown on the Anthropic vs. Department of War situation since so many of you have asked me...

A lot of people make predictions about AI and what’s going to happen. It’s an especially fun pastime in December/January. But predictions are hard, and it’s always refreshing to me when someone admits the truth. That is, that when it comes to AI, no one has any idea where it’s all going. Including me. If...

(Yes, even with the just-released Claude Opus 4.6.) Generative AI is an amazing technology because it’s so…human. No, we should NOT anthropomorphize AI (that’s a subject for another post) but inevitably we will because…we’re human. It s much easier to understand something we don t understand when we can relate it to something that we do understand.... The post Why AI Agents Remain Unreliable first…
Early 2026 has been full of reflection on the past 3 years of generative AI and thoughts about what’s next. I’ve seen a number of trends (or supposed trends) discussed at length. I’ll give my take on those trends after a bit of reflection and some of the news. Reflection: How far we came in...

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been three years since ChatGPT was released, and what a crazy three years it’s been! 2026 promises to be just as, if not more, exciting than 2025 in the world of AI. Last year was supposedly the year of the AI Agent…but if you’ve been reading this blog, you know... The post Three Years In first appeared on Does it matter in AI? .
I read a lot about AI (probably too much). Much of it is out of date in a few months (or weeks). But some content retains its importance over time. Here are some of the most important pieces on AI over the last year or so. Read them over the break – or when you... The post Top Content of the Year first appeared on Does it matter in AI? .
At the end of the year, we often take stock of the past 365 days. Turns out, the events of the past week mirror much of what happened in 2025. Where is generative AI after three years? What is it being used for? Are we in a bubble? Here are some end-of-year reflections. I have... The post Looking Back on 2025 first appeared on Does it matter in AI? .
