7:15 PM: On Wednesday, May 31st, there will be a meeting with George Wilde  on “Let’s Have Some Fun Using ChatGPT”

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has been used by computers for years, but the recent release of ChatGPT, a chatbot developed by OpenAI, has elevated the use of AI to all new levels leading many to claim that the year 2023 will be the year of AI.

There is no better way to understand what all the excitement over ChatGPT is about than to actually use it, and that is exactly what we will be doing in our upcoming SBAMUG general meeting. So think about what you would like to ask ChatGPT, and we will use your questions to input into ChatGPT so that we can evaluate the responses it gives.

This should be a fun and not very technical session.

7:15 PM: On Wednesday, March 29th, there will be a meeting with Podcaster Allison Sheridan on “Tech In Travel”

Allison Sheridan of the Podfeet Podcasts joins us again to talk about Tech on Travel. She recently traveled to Antarctica (she’ll show you penguin photos if you ask) and learned a lot about the current state of tech when traveling. She’ll explain how the new eSIM technology built into modern phones make getting data plans much easier when on foreign travel, and she’ll show you a website to find the right plan for your trip. She’ll talk about how cool the new Shared Library is in Apple Photos, as long as you have devices that support it. She’ll share her backup strategy that saved her husband from catastrophe when on an international trip. AirDrop is your friend on travel in groups for sharing photos – and she learned a new trick to making sure you can receive AirDrop requests. Finally, she’ll talk about two super useful gadgets that help on any kind of travel away from home.

If you haven’t seen Allison present before, you’ll find that even if every tip she supplies doesn’t blow your dress up, she’s always entertaining!
