• Google News Is Boosting Garbage AI-Generated Articles

• Claude for Google Sheets

  Do we need some way to grade these services based on vertical or use-case? I actually tried the same tech questions to multiple services when I first started playing around with these commercial LLMs. I would copy and paste the same question to GPT4, MS Bing (I soon stopped using that since I already have a sub to gpt4), claude, bard, and recently You (https://you.com) and while Claude.ai was rarely as good as... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Mojo: It’s Finally Here
