![]() ![]() The vast majority of the blogosphere and lots of large media sites run on WordPress. Some of them are free, others are paid services.Ī couple of days ago I got an email from the Jetpack Research Team, introducing their new “Jetpack AI Assistant.” It integrates “seamlessly” and “effortlessly” into WP and offers “AI-powered content generation” as it “crafts compelling blog posts, detailed pages, structured lists, and comprehensive tables - all customized to match your unique requirements.”Īnd it comes with an “adaptive tone adjustment” – that will imitate my inimitable style? ![]() The company that created WP (Automattic) also offers a plugin for WP called Jetpack which provides all kinds of additional functionalities, such as the commenting system below every article, a spam filter, offsite backup, etc. WOLF STREET uses WordPress (WP) software to manage the content so that you can actually see and read the stuff. Let me drag you into the technical weeds of websites here for a minute. The hype has gotten everywhere, and everyone now has to offer generative AI.

By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.ĪI – which stands for Artificial Intelligence or perhaps Artificial Idiocy – has been around for years, and just about everyone in the US has had contact with it, either wittingly or unwittingly, ranging from chatbots that make you want you to shoot your phone to automated diagnostics of medical tests.
