Six Ways Ai Can Take the Drudgery Out of Your Art Business

Thanks for posting your chat.  That's a great use for a chat. I think the insights about visual storytelling are interesting and spot-on.  It's curious that it zeroed in on Google right away. Do you suppose there's bias,  since Gemini is a Google product? Did you keep pushing — explaining why you don't want to use Google and asking for other options? That'll really help you get to the answer that's best for you.

In my prompt I told it I had experience building sites with Google, so that’s why it appears first.  I listed 4 web hosts and asked it to evaluate them for my purpose and I also asked it if it recommended any others. The chat was quite long and I only posted what for in the screenshot. It steered me away from Google and really leaned into Wix, especially since I could start free and then easily grow into a paid subscription. What was interesting was that I started second chat (I don’t remember why) and that one really pushed Carrd. Then I asked each chat about the other product and they both stuck by their original recommendations and talked down the other options.  Looking at your other response, I’m thinking of asking a different platform the same questions and see where it goes. (I guess I’ll do anything to avoid actually starting to build my website!😂)

That's super interesting, thanks for the additional thoughts and context. It's a good example that there are often no true right answers. The more I use it, the more often I find that to be true. Just like talking to humans. :) And your last comment cracked me up. So true. Building or revising a website always takes way more time than I budget, so I avoid it like the plague. But the sooner you start it, the sooner you'll be done with it — good luck!

I had a chat with Gemini about which web hosting platform to use for my Surface Pattern Design website. (I'm not going with Google.)
