This website was conceptualized and created with the help of AI. In order to do that, I first needed to figure out which AI to use.

My inclination was to use Google. I'm a paying customer of ChatGPT, but from the reading I'd done, Google had access to GPT-4 and had a number of interesting features. So I offered both the following prompt:

I have a domain called specifiedbehavior.com. I want to create an engaging website on this domain about my exploration of the uses of AI such as Bard. Can you help?

The results were... underwhelming from one of them.

Sure, I can help you create an engaging website about your exploration of the uses of AI. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Start with a clear purpose. What do you want your website to achieve? Are you trying to educate people about AI, share your own research, or simply connect with other people who are interested in AI?
  • Choose a visually appealing design. Your website's design should be both visually appealing and easy to use. Use clear fonts, plenty of white space, and high-quality images.
  • Write clear and concise content. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that your audience may not be familiar with.
  • Use social media to promote your website. Share links to your website's content on your social media profiles and encourage your followers to check it out.

Here are some additional tips for creating an engaging website:

  • Use a call to action. Tell your visitors what you want them to do.
  • Make it easy to contact you. Include your contact information on every page.
  • Keep your website up-to-date. Add new content regularly.

I hope these tips help you create an engaging website about your exploration of the uses of AI.

I then offered the same challenge to ChatGPT... WOW.

Of course, I'd be happy to help you brainstorm a layout and content for your website. Given your specific interest in AI and the use of models like GPT-3 and GPT-4, you could arrange the website in the following way:

1. Homepage:

  • Brief introduction about the website's purpose
  • A brief introduction about yourself and your passion for AI technology
  • Highlight recent posts or featured content
  • A call-to-action to encourage visitors to engage

2. About:

  • A more detailed biography about your background in AI or interest in the field
  • Your motivations and objectives in exploring AI technology

3. AI Basics:

  • A section explaining the basics of AI for beginners
  • Sub-sections about machine learning, deep learning, NLP, etc.

4. Experiments:

  • The heart of the website โ€” documenting your experiments with AI
  • Text-based experiments, visualizations, or interactive sections
  • Each experiment as its own blog post with purpose, process, and results

5. Resources:

  • A compilation of resources for learning more about AI: books, online courses, research papers, and links to relevant tools

6. Blog:

  • Regularly updated content on your latest thoughts about AI, news in the field, or deeper dives into specific topics
  • This could also include guest posts from other AI enthusiasts or experts

To make your website engaging, consider interactive elements like quizzes or polls, visual aids such as infographics or videos, and encouraging visitor engagement through comments or social media. Keep your website user-friendly with intuitive navigation, mobile-friendly design, and clear, concise language.

Let me know if you need help with anything specific like writing an introductory post or explaining a complex AI concept in simpler terms.

It would be an understatement to say this was better. This was perfect. And it gave the impression that it had ideas โ€” not just generic web advice, but a structured vision for exactly the kind of site I was trying to build.

For a goof, let's see what Bing comes up with.

Sure! There are many ways to create an engaging website about AI exploration. Here are some tips that might help you:

  1. Start with a simple layout for your homepage. You can use website builders such as WordPress or Weebly which have a wide variety of pre-built templates.
  2. Use high-quality images and videos that are relevant to your content. You can use curated images from websites like Unsplash or Pexels.
  3. Use AI-generated content to create engaging headlines and descriptions for your website.
  4. Use interactive elements such as quizzes, polls, and surveys to engage your audience.
  5. Use social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook to promote your website and engage with your audience.

I hope these tips help you create an engaging website about AI exploration on your domain specifiedbehavior.com.

Generic. Bland. Essentially the same as Bard's response but with added recommendations to use WordPress. Not exactly what I was looking for.

The contrast was stark: ChatGPT approached the prompt like a collaborator who actually read it and thought about what I was trying to build. Bard and Bing responded with advice you could find in any "how to make a website" article from 2015.

This experiment was the reason this whole site exists โ€” and why it was built with ChatGPT's help.
