Experiences with Logos 10 New AI Features
When it comes to technology, we live in a point-and-click world. When working on a new software or a new software feature, we are ready to give up after a couple of point-and-click failures.
This was my experience with the new AI features in Logos. I subscribed to the new AI functionality, thinking it was a point-and-click function. My first few attempts at using it were unsatisfactory. Having about 2000 plus curated resources in my Logos 10 library, I thought I would benefit far more from using AI than what I was seeing.
However, I didn't give up, even though I was strongly tempted to. The failure to get the promised AI benefits seemed to be more about my "unlearned state" than with the AI program.
Having used Logos for a few years, I knew that to get the most benefit from a Logos feature or tool, you must take the time to "learn" it before using it. Once I committed to learning how to use the new AI functions and started using them as "one who was instructed," it was like the theme of Disney's Aladdin: "It's a Whole New World." Now, I am very happy I didn't give up!
- Thanks for posting this. Can't wait to follow your excellent plan to learn how to use the AI function!
- Hi. I know there was more into searching in Logos than the Boolean searches that I run once in a while. However, with this AI Search I was able to ask a question as would do to any scholar or expert, just a simple question… I was very satisfied with the response I got. A straight answer with 3-4 references that I could futher evaluate (links). Then a list of additional references from my library… I was very satisfied with the answers received. The fact that the answers were based from the books from my library gave me greater confidence in the response. Also used the Summary function. It helped me to assess a chapter’s content in a short time. Previously was not sure about going with the subscription, but after trying the AI and seeing the answers it provided were straight to the point with references linked in a short “abstract”, I will continue with the subscription. Additionally, the fact that the answers to my questions were provided in the Language set in Settings (Spanish as my first Language) saved me a lot of time when making a Presentation for church youth.
- Thanks for such an interesting information
