A while ago I started looking into AI as the hype around it was starting to make some noise. At that time I was not impressed, especially as it was related to smart homes, which are supposedly run by AI. I wrote a post on the subject. Recently I dug a little more into the different online AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek etc. I asked them the question: “What is the website loekvanhelden.com about?”. In other words: “Tell me about myself”. Interesting results.
Answers to my question:
The website loekvanhelden.com is a personal blog about the life of Loek van Helden, a Dutchman who lives in the United States. The blog covers a variety of topics, including his travels, his family, and his work.
Loekvanhelden.com is the personal website of Gepke and Loek, a couple who have lived in the United States for several years, initially in Colorado and now in South Carolina. They use the site to share their travel experiences, including detailed accounts of their journeys, such as a Norway cruise starting in Amsterdam that took them to the North Cape, and a South America cruise that began in Buenos Aires, rounded Cape Horn, traversed the Panama Canal, and returned to the U.S. The website also features photo galleries from their travels and blog posts discussing topics like smart home technology. Additionally, they share insights about their life in South Carolina, reflecting on their move from Colorado to Greenville.
I’m afraid I don’t have access to that website, or any real-time web browsing capabilities. To help understand what the website is about, you’d need to share relevant content from it directly in our conversation. That way, I could analyze the specific information you provide.
The website loekvanhelden.com is the personal portfolio of Loek van Helden, a Creative Technologist and Generative Artist based in Amsterdam. The site showcases his work at the intersection of art, design, and technology, with a focus on generative art, creative coding, and interactive installations. Key highlights of his work include:
Generative Art: Loek creates algorithm-driven art using tools like Processing, p5.js, and GLSL.
Creative Coding: He develops interactive experiences and visualizations, often blending art with technology.
Installations: His projects include immersive, interactive installations that engage audiences in unique ways.
Open Source Contributions: Loek shares his knowledge and tools with the creative coding community.
The website serves as a platform to explore his projects, learn about his creative process, and connect with him for collaborations or commissions. For more details, you can visit the site directly: loekvanhelden.com.
Conclusion
Surprising answers in different ways. Gemini was short and to the point, nothing wrong with that. ChatGPT gave a more elaborate answer and was very complete. It included only information I had myself shared on the internet. It did not make up anything. Claude had no idea who I was and admitted as much in its answer. That however could not be said about DeepSeek, the AI that has caused such a stink in the AI world recently.
DeepSeek apparently confused my website with someone else. I appeared to think I am some kind of technology artist. It was interesting to read about the algorithm-driven art tools I am using. Take it from me, I have never used those technologies, and I am in no way an artist. I think DeepSeek was talking about someone else…
So my conclusion about AI now: It’s getting there, but it still has a way to go. Also there is a lot of difference of quality from AI to AI. This was just a simple question from my other several AI’s out there. I also tried having an interactive conversation with varying result. AI appears to have some very human problems like losing its trail of thought when trying to have a conversation. But do your own research, you may be surprised.
