Kevin’s take
“Poe is the sampler platter. One subscription, and you can talk to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and a dozen others in the same place. Handy if you can't decide which one you like. It's an aggregator, not its own AI — worth knowing before someone tells you 'Poe' is a model. It isn't.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support

From the AI Glossary
- AI PsychosisAn informal, provisional term — not a medical diagnosis — for reports in which intense AI-chatbot use coincides with the onset or worsening of delusional thinking. Chatbots can sometimes validate a user’s framing instead of challenging it, which may reinforce false beliefs, especially in someone already vulnerable. Researchers and clinicians are documenting cases, but they have not yet established how common the phenomenon is or whether chatbot use directly causes it.
- AnthropomorphismThe habit of attributing human qualities, like feelings, intentions, or understanding, to something that doesn't have them. With AI it's almost irresistible. A chatbot writes warmly, remembers your name, says it's happy to help, and it feels like there's someone there. There isn't. It's a system predicting plausible words. Noticing when you're doing this is a quietly useful skill.
- Artifact (Claude)In Claude, Anthropic’s chatbot, an Artifact is a substantial piece of work Claude builds in its own side panel instead of burying it in the scrolling chat. It might be a real document, checklist, diagram, simple webpage, or small interactive tool. You can edit it, step through versions, download it, and, if you choose, share or publish it with a link. Ordinary short replies stay in the chat; Artifacts are for the bigger thing you might want to keep using.
- BotA piece of software that performs automated tasks, often ones that mimic human activity. The word covers a lot of ground: the chatbot answering questions on a website, the account posting on its own, the program checking prices around the clock. Some bots are helpful, some are a nuisance, and some are outright deceptive. The word itself just means "automated software," nothing more.
From the Unspun Blog
- You're not late on AIRegular people still are not sold on AI. Pew found most Americans more concerned than excited, and that unease is not a personal failing.
- Three hikers used Gemini to plan Mount Shasta. The mountain needed more than the packing list.Three hikers used Gemini to plan a Mount Shasta climb. The sheriff's advice: treat the packing list as a first draft, then call the ranger station.
- The twenty minutes ChatGPT doesn't countThe five-minute AI draft can hide fifteen minutes of checking. A survey of 6,000 workers gave that unpaid work a name: botsitting.
- What AI slang do I actually need to know?You need a short list of AI words, not a whole dialect. Learn prompt, hallucination, slop, LLM, deepfake, and agent. Let the rest wait.
