Unique, high quality data, mainly scraped from the web, is vital to the performance of AI models. AdvertisementAdvertisementMore and more companies are trying to avoid having their data freely scraped and saved by web crawlers working for the benefit of AI models. Last month, OpenAI last revealed its own crawler, GPTBot, saying it would respect robots.txt, a decades-old method through which a website can tell a web crawler to ignore it. Many more companies are now also blocking CCBot, a web crawler used by Common Crawl.

Stefanie O'Connell Rodriguez is personal finance expert with some tips for car buyers. I don't think we're in a pre-COVID market yet, but the data shows us it is getting a little bit better slowly. Car buyers should factor maintenance into their total cost of vehicle ownership. Reuters/Umit BektasThere are unexpected expenses with car ownership — but there's also a lot you can predictThat's especially true if you're doing your research in advance.

☆ New, used EV prices have dropped, but don't rush to buy: 'It's not a consumer-friendly market,' analyst says

New EV prices also fell nearly 20% from their peak of $66,390 in June of last year due to inventory growth, found a study by Kelly Blue Book. A year ago, demand for electric vehicles due to high gas prices from the war in Ukraine sent prices on an upward swing. "We've never had a used EV market; it's only beginning to develop," said Krebs. How to shop for a used EVThere is a tax credit for used electric vehicles worth up to $25,000, but only a handful of used EVs have depreciated to cost under the ceiling price. To that point, car shoppers looking into used electric vehicles should be cautious about their battery life and utility, experts say.

Amy Ettinger used to ask her mom for advice on mundane stuff all the time, but then her mom passed away. She tried talking to Pi, a personal assistant chatbot that's supposed to act as an unflappable sounding board. So recently I decided to turn to AI for the kind of questions I used to ask my mom. I decided to try Pi, a personal assistant chatbotInflection AI launched its personal intelligence chatbot earlier this spring.

New car prices may finally start declining in the coming months — but don't expect to pay much less on a monthly basis due to higher interest rates. Thanks to stalling sales and a 17-month high in vehicle supplies, "deflation" may finally be arriving for new car prices, Jonas said. Power also predicted lower list prices could come in the coming quarters thanks to rising interest rates, higher vehicle availability and worsening economic conditions that are likely to affect overall demand. And the lower list prices would come at a time when interest rates to borrow for car purchases are at levels not seen in 15 years — nearly 6% on average. Analysts at auto group Edmunds.com also suggest customers think about settling for a larger monthly payment to avoid paying more overall.
