Bing has introduced AI power to answer your questions. Maybe that, or something similar  is what the Mirror uses.

I have found it to be quite handy, and quite accurate.

You've hit the nail on the head. I know that some people have asked alexa "Are you listening in to all conversations and where are you sending the information?" I haven't seen any recent answers to this. Anyone on here tried it?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not intended to stop people from thinking for themselves. Instead, AI is designed to augment human intelligence and help people make better decisions 1. AI can help people analyze large amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions that would be difficult or impossible for humans to do on their own 1.

AI can also help people automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time for more creative and complex work 1. However, AI is not a replacement for human intelligence. AI systems are designed to work alongside humans, not replace them 1.

In fact, some experts predict that using AI at a larger scale will add as much as $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 1. While AI is changing how companies work, many believe that who does this work will change too - and that organizations will begin to replace human employees with intelligent machines 1. However, this trend has led some to conclude that in 2040 our workforce may be totally unrecognizable 1.

In conclusion, AI is not intended to stop people from thinking for themselves. Instead, it is designed to augment human intelligence and help people make better decisions. While AI may change the way we work in the future, it is unlikely to replace human intelligence entirely.

Person: Where is my breakfast please?

I was using Microsoft Edge and a page with

Ask me anything ...

came up.

So  I put

How do I get my idea for a movie made at no cost to me please?

and it gave me a lot of links.

Was this AI in action?

"It" offered a question, something like (I've lost the original)

Can you give me an example of a localizable sentence?

Then answered as follows.

Sure, here’s an example of how localizable sentences might be used in a software application:

Let’s say you’re developing a weather application that needs to display the temperature in different languages. You might have a sentence like this in English:

"The current temperature is 20 degrees Celsius."

In your code, you might represent this sentence with a localizable string and a variable for the temperature, like this:

"The current temperature is {0} degrees Celsius."

The {0} is a placeholder that gets replaced with the actual temperature when the program runs.

When you want to translate this sentence to another language, you don’t have to change the code, just the localizable string. For example, in Spanish, it might look like this:

"La temperatura actual es de {0} grados Celsius."

This way, the same code can support multiple languages just by swapping out the localizable sentences.

I was not sure, so I have just retried.

What are localizable sentences?

I got a different result.

----

Localizable sentences are sentences that are carefully written so as to avoid any reliance on any sentence previously used in the same document1. Each localizable sentence would have a meaning expressed in words and possibly also have a glyph1. Localizable sentences can be expressed in two ways: by an abstract language-independent symbol, or by a code number expressed as an exclamation mark followed by digits2

Reference 2 is to the Serif affinity forum

Also offered are two additional questions,

What are some examples?

How are they different from regular sentences?

The second question gave the following,

Localizable sentences differ from regular sentences in a few key ways:

Translation-Friendly: Localizable sentences are written with the intention of being translated into multiple languages. They avoid idioms, cultural references, and complex structures that may not translate well.

Context-Independent: Unlike regular sentences, localizable sentences are designed to make sense outside of their original context. This is important in software localization where a sentence might be used in multiple places within the application.

Unique Identifiers: Each localizable sentence is associated with a unique identifier, which is used to look up the correct translation in each supported language.

Avoidance of Concatenation: Localizable sentences avoid concatenation of strings wherever possible, as the sentence structure can change significantly in different languages.

In contrast, regular sentences do not have these constraints and can include idioms, cultural references, and context-dependent meanings.

The system then offered me a question about internationalization and localization of software.

So now I have asked the following.

Write an original fable about a unicorn and a pegasus playing a game of chess

Here is the reply.

----

Once upon a time, in a land where mythical creatures roamed, there lived a Unicorn named Uni and a Pegasus named Pega. They were the best of friends and loved to challenge each other in games of wit and strategy. Their favorite game was chess.

One sunny afternoon, they decided to play a game of chess by the crystal clear lake. The board was set, and the game began. Uni, with her horn shimmering in the sunlight, moved her pieces with precision and grace. Pega, with his wings fluttering gently in the breeze, countered with moves full of creativity and flair.

As the game progressed, it became clear that both were evenly matched. Each move was met with an equally clever countermove. The game was intense, and neither Uni nor Pega was willing to give an inch.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the lake, knocking over some of the chess pieces. Pega, being a creature of the air, quickly used his wings to correct his pieces. However, he also took this opportunity to move one of his pieces to a more advantageous position.

Uni noticed this and felt a pang of disappointment. She thought about calling out Pega’s dishonest move but decided against it. Instead, she continued playing with even more determination.

In the end, Uni won the game. Pega congratulated her but felt a sense of guilt for his dishonest move. He confessed to Uni about what he had done during the gust of wind.

Uni smiled gently and said, “Pega, winning isn’t everything. It’s how you play the game that truly matters. I knew about your move but chose not to say anything because I wanted you to realize your mistake on your own.”

Pega felt ashamed but also grateful for Uni’s wisdom and kindness. From that day forward, he played every game with honesty and integrity.

And so, the fable of the Unicorn and the Pegasus teaches us that honesty is more important than winning and true friendship is about helping each other grow.

Noticing that the ai system had found that the pegasus had wings and mentioned it in the story, I decided to try a similar yet different writing request.

Write an original fable about a unicorn and a stegosaurus playing a game of chess

----

Once upon a time, in a land where time had no meaning, a unicorn named Uni and a stegosaurus named Steg decided to play a game of chess.

Uni, with her magical horn and ethereal beauty, was known for her quick thinking and nimble moves. Steg, on the other hand, with his armored plates and spiked tail, was known for his strategic thinking and patience.

The game began with Uni making the first move. She moved her pieces quickly, trying to outpace Steg. But Steg was not perturbed. He took his time, carefully considering each move.

As the game progressed, it became clear that Uni’s quick moves were not enough to outwit Steg’s strategic planning. She found herself in a difficult position, with Steg’s pieces closing in on her king.

In a desperate attempt to turn the game around, Uni used her magic to make a move that seemed impossible. But Steg was prepared. He had anticipated this move and had a countermove ready.

With a final strategic move, Steg checkmated Uni’s king. The game was over. Uni was surprised but accepted her defeat gracefully. She realized that quick moves and magic were not enough to win a game of chess.

This fable teaches us that patience and strategic thinking often triumph over haste and impulsiveness. It reminds us to take our time and think things through before making decisions.

One word different in the request and a very different story.

Is it alright to publish an original fable that Bing Chat Ai has written for me?

Yes, you are free to publish the original fable that I have written for you. As an AI developed by Microsoft, I don’t claim copyright over the content I generate. However, it would be appreciated if you could acknowledge that the content was generated by Bing Chat AI. Enjoy sharing your fable!
