Having a Chat with AI Models

This here blog post may be of interest to you if you are fairly new to AI tools and the different models that are out there.

How many of us have not seen the ads encouraging us to get familiar with every AI model out there?

I just turn a blind eye as I’ll use the tools I know will get the job done.

Having a chat with AI models.

AI Model Use instead of a Search Engine

Having a chat with AI models is something I do more frequently these days.

I’d have to say a lot of the AI I use just started out replacing my search engine searches.

I find it rather nice to be able to have a simple conversation with these tools.

And it seems to be my MS Edge Browser CoPilot that gets alot of my inquiries.

The other day, one of my friends posted another one of those copy and paste jobbies on her Facebook page.

You know the one where you state that Facebook has no legal right to post any of your images from the date of your post?

Well, I asked my CoPilot about it and it gave me a great answer that I copied and pasted over to my friend so she could see the error of her ways.

But one of the downfalls of that AI model is that there is no history (that i am aware of).

 

History of AI Model Conversations

I gotta say that it’s real nice when you run into someone who knows their AI Models and having a chat with AI models is commonplace.

Once such person brought it to my attention that ChatGPT contains history.

In essence you could train the model to think of itself as an expert copywriter and ask it to create content for you based on a story you feed it.

Each conversation has a name and you just find that conversation again and all the up-front work is done and you just have to feed it some text again to get the response you want.

A tip was given to me that for better organization and ability to find important converstions, simply preface the name with an exclamation mark!

Better yet preface it with an emoji❗

 

AI Model Knowledge Limitations

Another AI model I have been using is Perplexity.ai and I’ve been having lots of fun having a chat with AI models in this regard.

I was told that it had more up to date information than ChatGPT.

But I had to know “how up to date”.

So my handy Copilot got the question. And the CoPilot‘s response was that the CoPilot itself might not be aware of events, developments, or new information that has occurred after Sept 2021 as of this blog post date in late January of 2025.

It turns out ChatGPT has the same knowledge cutoff date of Sept 2021.

Google’s Gemini has a knowledge cutoff date of early 2023 ( https://gemini.google.com ).

And with my other AI Model I use, Perplexity.ai has a knowledge cutoff date of December 2023.

Given this knowledge, if you were to say you were going to create a customer avatar, I would make use of Perplexity.

 

Prompts for a Customer Avatar using Perplexity

I may have been a bit deceived on dates but having a chat with AI models brought me to plug in this as a prompt:

What are the typical demographics of people that love their affordable vacations and are seeking affiliate marketing opportunities to boost their savings here in 2025?

I give you that prompt so you could come up with your own prompt.

And for your benefit I provide the response I got. The results include citations for the sourcing of the information. Neat eh!


In 2025, the demographics of people seeking affordable vacations and affiliate marketing opportunities to boost their savings typically include:

1. Gen Z (born 1997-2012): This group is particularly budget-conscious and tech-savvy. 35% of Gen Zers prioritize budgets and stay in standard hotels with 3 stars or below[3]. They are also more likely to use social media platforms like TikTok for travel inspiration, with 29% being inspired to travel to a destination by TikTok in 2023[3].

2. Millennials (born 1981-1996): While slightly older than Gen Z, millennials also prioritize cost when making travel plans, with 41% considering it a top factor[3]. They are more likely to blend work trips with personal leisure plans compared to Gen Z[3].

3. Age range: The majority of users on platforms like Pinterest, which is popular for travel affiliate marketing, are between 18 and 49 years old[6].

4. Income level: Interestingly, travelers with higher household incomes (over £100k) are most likely (74%) to be interested in cashback and rewards programs[2]. This suggests that even affluent travelers are looking for ways to save on their trips.

5. Gender: While travel interest spans all genders, platforms like Pinterest, which are popular for travel affiliate marketing, have a user base that is approximately 77% female[6].

These demographics are particularly interested in:

– Budget-friendly destinations that offer value for money
[1][3]
– Unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences[3]
– Wellness-focused travel experiences[3]
– Sustainable and eco-friendly tourism options[4]
– Travel during off-peak times to save money[5]

Overall, these travelers are becoming more “deal savvy” and are doing additional research to ensure they get the best value for their money[2]. They are likely to be interested in affiliate marketing opportunities that offer cashback, rewards programs, and discounts on travel-related products and services[2][4].
