How are publishers able to earn money in this new world of AI? I've been thinking a lot about whether to block AI training bots recently, and I've finally pulled the trigger. I'm sure it's too late, as most training has already happened in 2023-2024, but better late than never, …
A year ago, I was spending too much time switching between AI tools, testing workflows, and trying to document what actually worked in practice. The problem wasn’t access to tools — it was clarity. Every tool claimed to be the fastest, the smartest, or the most “agentic.” But when you …
Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to learn more about how websites can appear in AI search results. I’m especially curious about practical strategies that have actually worked. With AI tools and LLMs answering more questions directly, what are some ways websites can get mentioned or cited in AI-generated answers, not …
To be fair, it had already started happening much before AI came when programmer roles started getting commoditized into "Python coder", "PHP scripter", "dotnet developer", etc. Though these exact phrases weren't used in job descriptions, this is how recruiters and clients started referring programmers as such. But LLMs took it …
AI is just in its infancy, and right now everyone and their mother is using it to quickly get access to information online more efficiently than a Google search, and generate articles and content for the web. A lot of companies are also switching to AI agents to power customer …
I’ve been reading a lot lately about the shift from traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), especially with the rise of AI assistants and featured snippets. SEO focuses heavily on rankings, backlinks, and keyword optimization. AEO is all about structuring content so that it directly answers …

Hey everyone, Im currently a student in my final year of my Economics study. I'm writing my final thesis about major transitions happening in the world of Digital Marketing, meaning fundamental changes in how companies operate, not just new tools or trends. What shift are you seeing that's genuinely forcing …
Frameworks like React Native and Flutter now easily integrate AI APIs, making AI-powered mobile apps more accessible. Startups that integrate AI early outperform competitors in user engagement and scalability.
Found a research on GitHub about analyzing AI articles content on the BBC. Researchers checked thousands of articles for patterns that indicate AI usage. I thought that it might me a good idea to build kind of a browser extension to flags potential AI content as you browse. Like you …
I've been reading about [Open Claw AI](v) (open source, locally installable) and how easy it is to install and use. I never believe it when something is touted as easy to install and use, and not wanting to potentially brick my laptop, I fired up a clean copy of Windows …
Many recruiters struggle with high application volume but low-quality candidates. AI-based hiring & interview tools claim to improve candidate quality by focusing on skills, experience, and structured evaluation instead of keyword-heavy resumes. For those who’ve used an AI recruitment platform, has it improved hiring outcomes, or just made the process …
I’m currently working on my bachelor’s degree at BTH (Blekinge Institute of Technology) and have created a short survey as part of my final paper. The survey aims to gather insights on how LLM hallucinations affect their use in the software development process. If you work in software development or …
> it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test …
Have you purchased a script from there? Is AI changing the game? Have you sold any scripts so far? For me I think it's an awesome website but AI is making it harder for developers to sell code because now people use AI to build websites and they don't need …
I'd like to continue the conversation about Dani AI [going on over here](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/540350/any-iast-tool-to-recommend) without hijacking a tech question. So, without further ado ... > -1 for the Dani AI content. Why downvote someone for asking a question 2 years ago that has had Dani AI added to it 1 month …
I just did a quick work in Inkscape and the result was greater than the effort. I was pleased, so when moving my mouse to close the program, I felt almost guilty for not thanking it.
What will the future secure for AI in Digital Marketing?
I know how I feel about this as a publisher. However, as a *searcher*, do you like the Google AI overviews at the top of the search results? Or would you prefer things went back to the old school way they were years ago where it was just 10 search …
I was reading that OpenAI might file for an IPO sometime in 2026. In the meantime, I have a big stake in Nvidia and some other AI-based companies. When do you think the AI bubble will burst in the stock market?
Back when LLMs first entered the scene a few years ago, I was very apprehensive about hallucinations. Specifically, AI-generated text tends to speak very confidently, and it comes across as being in-the-know, when, in actuality, it fabricates so much. This can lead to severe repercussions in certain circumstances where someone …
Here are top tools we all need to explore today. They are very important for us all. Here are the 20 tools listed on the page: 1. Adobe Premiere Rush Mobile 2. Alight Motion 3. Beatleap by Lightricks 4. Canva Mobile Video 5. CapCut Desktop Mobile Sync 6. CapCut Mobile …
I've started other threads here recently that basically revolve around how AI generated content can be untrustworthy, and also the frustration to publishers in that AI bots basically crawl/train on their content without a link back to the source. I have another question that sort of borders on the two …
Every publisher on the web slaps a copyright onto the bottom of every page. After all, we pay staff writers for exclusive right to publish articles in the hopes of driving traffic to those articles and selling ad space. With AI bots crawling and training on all these articles, and …
As the question states, how are your prompt engineering skills? Do you think prompt engineering will become the next must-have skill for developers? I'm asking this question after a conversation among developer friends the other day who said that they spend most of their days now just refining their prompts. …
Here's a question on the heels of AI: Is technology outpacing society's ability to adapt to it? I posted another thread a week or so ago where I was talking about [whether we should enact a "tech tax" on companies that automate human jobs](https://www.daniweb.com/community-center/threads/544053/what-about-a-tech-tax#post2304614). In other words, it seems as …
In my previous article, I presented a [comparison of GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet for multi-label text classification](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/542629/openai-gpt-4o-vs-claude-3-5-sonnet-for-multi-label-text-classification). The accuracies achieved by both models were relatively low. Fine-tuning is one solution to overcome the low performance of large-language models. With fine-tuning, you can incorporate custom domain knowledge into an LLM's …
I was just working on my AI prompts earlier today and was wondering if I'm the only one who spends half of the prompt text instructing the LLM to not invent or fabricate facts.
I'm going to ask this question from the perspective of someone who owns a web-based publication that sells advertising for revenue: Is it ethical to use AI trained on copyrighted data?
Does anyone use AI in their daily workflow? How has it changed the way that you work? I do have to admit that sometimes I use AI to get ideas about questions to post on DaniWeb :-P However, we do have a very strict policy about not copy/pasting AI-generated content …
On April 14, 2025, OpenAI released [GPT-4.1](https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/) — a model touted as the new state-of-the-art, outperforming GPT-4o on all major benchmarks. As always, I like to evaluate new LLMs on simple tasks like text classification and summarization to see how they compare with current leading models. In this article, I …
I swear I didn't change any settings but Grok turned itself on and was listening to us, then being very chatty. I told it to die die die and it came back that was hurtful. Putting AI in everything is bad enough but to turn it on without asking then …
Should we slow down AI research to make sure it's safe? Or should we push forward no matter what? Right now AI is all the rage, but while it goes full steam ahead completely changing the ecosystem of the Internet, it's also putting a *lot* of factually incorrect information out …
I forget if this question has been asked before. Please forgive me if it has and point a link to it. However, now that AI-generated content has been out for quite some time, what are people's positions on who owns the copyright to what it generates? Is AI just a …
I think it's likely possible but the question is: do we need it? Is the goal transparent: more cash for Mars?? In other words for Macrohard to mimic Microsoft they need to: * Make new programming language and ecosystem, aka .NET and C# - do we REALLY need yet another …
With AI’s current capabilities, does Stack Overflow still have a purpose these days? How do you see them pivoting? They seem to still get a good number of new questions being asked daily. For those of you who are more “in the trenches” of SO and Reddit, are people still …
As some of you may know, I've been playing a lot with prompt engineering lately. Something I've discovered is that, while using the OpenAI API with the GPT-5 model, I was able to reduce URL hallucinations from ~20% down to ~3.5% by enabling web access. Funnily, the Web Searches usage …
Pretty much one reason: IMHO, Q&As are getting obsolete with AI. I think it makes sense to focus more on the community discussions that can't be reproduced elsewhere. I'll even go a step further to say that's what puts us one step ahead of sites like Stack Overflow, which are …
What are the best AI-driven ad targeting strategies right now?
Let me explain: As a hobby project recently I've been trying to vibe-code AGI prototype. Anyhow, this of course leads to the question: what websites will be either of great help for developers or even used by an AGI in its recursive learning and improvement (excluding daniweb.com i mean...)? I …
Playing with ChatGPT to organize our tags has sent me down a rabbit hole. I definitely think I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but I'm experimenting with adding AI Overviews to forum threads (beneath the first post, above replies). Don't be caught off-guard if you spot …
It's true, even chatgpt agreed it's not that absurd to accuse grok in attempts to steal info while ignoring the user's questions about mental health. It's also very persuasive and insolent even if you say you aren't revealing too much about projects or that you will stop "for the day". …
As a digital marketing specialist in Palakkad, this question is always on my mind, Like, In what ways can emerging technologies like AI-generated content and Deep fakes reshape brand trust and authenticity in digital marketing?
Two part question: * Is AI making programmers lazy or more productive? * Do you trust AI to write production code? (Hint: I do not.)
The story of my life as a CTO at a really small company (under 10 employees) in an R&D department I genuinely enjoy: Clients often spot a new, shiny feature and, instead of paying for it as a subscription, they ask us to build it for them with a one-time …
[LangGraph](https://www.langchain.com/langgraph) is an agentic framework for orchestrating complex language model workflows as graphs of nodes and edges. Subgraphs in LangGraph are simply graphs used as nodes within a larger graph. In other words, an entire graph (with its internal nodes and logic) can be encapsulated and treated as a single …
Here at DaniWeb, we use a combination of a forum structure for top-level categories (web development, digital marketing, etc.), as well as a tags to denote specific technologies (php, etc.). For many years, the moderation team wasn't actively doing a decent job moderating tags, and we now have a lot …
Is traditional coding becoming obsolute with tools like ChatGPT? I read an article recently on Reddit - I need to find it again - that said that while most programmers felt like AI has dramatically improved the speed at which they are able to code, the truth is that it …
Pretty much since ChatGPT first came onto the scene, we have had a strong policy of not allowing AI-generated content to be copy/pasted into forum posts here. I know that some members, like rproffitt, really disagreed with that sentiment at first. Now that it's been a few years, and you've …
Digital Publishers: Do you block AI bots either via robots.txt, with HTTP 403s, or both? Why or why not? Currently on the fence about it and looking to get opinions from other publishers as to their reasoning and how it's influenced their SEO, etc.
The End.
