AI Options (2 Viewers)

I have been fooling around with AI.
Which AI option is "most in tune" with MS Access?
Also, is anyone else getting frustrated with ChatGPT losing its memory when it, for no reason I can establish, just resets the page and the chat record is gone"
I find it is pretty good at Access but doesn't seem fully aware of differences between Access versions

The AI - like me, these days - sometimes gets confused about specifics. We have seen "Chattie" give you VB answers for a VBA problem. Or VBScript answers. Look at some of Uncle Gizmo's posts on AI as he describes the torturous path he has explored trying to get an answer about some algorithm. Have you ever seen a 6-year-old playing "organized" kids soccer? They run screaming up and down the field, but are likely to stop a moment and marvel at the butterfly they just frightened, and will chase that instead of the ball. Many of the AI platforms are likely to do the computer equivalent.

You could try Co-pilot it's a Microsoft program that's integrated in 365.

From what I have read the paid versions of AI does better with the memory issues you describe.

I once asked an AI why it sucks so bad at VBA, and it explained that VBA is wrapped in a file type that requires opening an application, so it has (and it stressed this point) far fewer code examples to consult.

WOW! You got a relatively straight answer from it. I'm impressed.

If you experience AI as sweet-talking you, ask harder questions. If you ask AI to validate your process, it will, even if that process has glaring deficiencies. I increasing ask AI how my process sucks, and how it's likely to fail.

AI is like a mirror.

As with Copilot...be specific. Start with the Access software version you are using. If it don't know that your software version it may make assumptions that you are using an older version of Access.
Example:

Microsoft Access-365 version database [or whatever exact version you are using].
Then....
Write a brief detailed explanation about your project problem to solve (the goal), such as a set of key points A, B, C, D).
Then ask the key question to your problem. Know your problem and know what you want for a goal to that problem.
You must ALSO be alert when the AI is going astray...because any AI will go down a rabbit hole big time, or literally go in circles!
If you are logged in to a Microsoft account it can remember some parts about what you are working on earlier (though that won't be useful if you dive into a different goal or project).
If you know the problem but not the solution, ask for suggested solutions, and AI will provide you with 3-4 possible choices. Then you pick one of those and ask it for more details. As the AI proceeds you can determine if that choice is the logical solution for your database problem.
Remember, AI is backward looking intelligence, while humans are forward looking intelligence (creativity, out-of-the box thinkers), and that is your advantage over a machine.

Funny enough, I've had more problems since upgrading to paid

I'm getting somewhat pissed off by the constant condescending "encouragement" from AI

Further to my other posts, I have found it useful to send ChatGPT the documenter file on everything in my project and tell it to remember. However, the next time AI sends me, for example, an invitation to choose a voice or to choose between the way AI should "talk" to me, ChatGPT gets confused
