🎮Today's One Cool Tip shows how to use DuckDuckGo's new AI tool. DuckDuckGo is all about user privacy. Read the full tip HERE!
👀Are you just getting started using AI? Here are a few Cool Tips to keep in mind:
-
Be Specific and Clear in Your Prompts: AI models are powerful, but they rely on clear instructions. Think of it like talking to a very literal friend – the more specific you are, the better the results will be. For example, instead of asking "write a poem," try "write a haiku about a sunset on the beach."
-
Experiment with Different AI Models: There are many different AI models available, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Try experimenting with different models to find the one that works best for your needs. Some models are better at creative writing, while others excel at summarizing information or generating code.
-
Don't Be Afraid to Iterate: AI is a tool, and like any tool, it takes practice to master. Don't be discouraged if your first few attempts don't yield perfect results. Try tweaking your prompts, adjusting your settings, and experimenting with different approaches. The more you use AI, the better you'll become at getting the most out of it.

Answer: A) Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg, the renowned American filmmaker, directed the science fiction film “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” (2001).
The movie, loosely based on Brian Aldiss’s short story, is set in the 22nd century, where rising sea levels have devastated cities.
It follows the journey of David, a childlike android programmed to experience love, as he embarks on a poignant quest to become “real” and regain the love of his human mother.
The film delves into themes of identity, emotion, and the blurred boundaries between humanity and artificial intelligence. 🎥🤖
