Abstract: AI-enhanced search engines, characterized by their conversational nature, are reshaping human-computer interactions, offering a richer information exchange, transitioning from a dictionary to wisdom. This paper dives deeper into the integration of generative AI, especially the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) technology, in search engines, investigating its algorithm, benefits, and strategies to mitigate its limitations and bias. To this end, the paper connects the dots from the beginning of transistor discovery to the dawn of OpenAI under the Moore’s law to drive costs and accumulate wealth. To explain the context, the paper presents a timeline of the development of search engines from Archie to Yahoo!, to Google, and to Bing. The early search engine “Archie” could only do an arranging task to archive information like a dictionary, while such advanced search engines as Google and Bing being integrated with GPT, a generative AI product, can do a much more sophisticated job usually required expertise or wisdom. Addressing the challenges posed by generative AI requires a collaborative effort encompassing technologists, policymakers, and the public. As we go on board with this AI-infused journey, it’s crucial to approach with awareness, ensuring its contributions benefit society, economy, and individual lives. Despite concerns of a dystopian AI-future, the author remains hopeful about leveraging AI to enhance global prosperity and freedom.

Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to greatly enhance the educational process for basic skills in physical education. AR technology can provide a more interactive and immersive learning experience, allowing students to better understand and visualize concepts. It can also offer virtual aids and tutorials, enabling students to practice and improve their skills in a virtual environment. Using AR in physical education can make learning more engaging and enjoyable for students, increasing their interest and motivation to participate in physical activities. Furthermore, AR can provide a contextualized and immersive learning experience, allowing students to learn and practice basic skills in a more realistic and practical manner. Although there are challenges, such as marker detection and usability issues, studies have shown that the use of AR in physical education can be effective in teaching high school students and improving their acquisition of spatially oriented content. AR has been found to enhance performance, content-mastery, and motivation in various educational contexts. It has been particularly effective in education, teaching spatially oriented content in high school physical education, and improving academic performance in pedagogy students. A recent study aimed to investigate the impact of AR on improving basic skills in physical education. The study used a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements and included students from a local elementary school. The results showed that the use of AR led to significant improvements in basic skills, including catching and kicking the ball. The improvements were larger in the group that received the AR-based intervention compared to the group that received traditional physical education lessons. The study also highlighted the various factors that should be considered when deciding which method to use, including effectiveness, advantages, limitations, cost, availability, and training required. Overall, the findings of this study support the use of AR in physical education to enhance the educational process and improve basic skills. AR offers unique opportunities for students to engage with learning materials and practice skills in a more immersive and interactive manner.
