Verisign looking at ChatGPT-like name-spinner

Image
  Verisign is "looking closely" at overnight AI chatbot sensation ChatGPT to see if its technology can be incorporated into its name-spinner tool, NameStudio.   CEO Jim Bidzos told analysts last week: "ChatGPT and NameStudio will actually help you find a similar and equally good or maybe even better name and we're looking closely at ChatGPT to see about using its capabilities to enhance what NameStudio does."   He dismissed suggestions such AI tools might negatively impact domain names, comparing it to misplaced concerns about voice assistants (presumably meaning the likes of Alexa and Siri).   Last month, I blogged about a new name-spinner web site using the same AI technology as ChatGPT to come up with name suggestions and speculated that this will likely become the industry standard before too long.   Source from   Domainincite.com   Domain Name - Register Domain - Transfer Domain .COM $11.99, .ORG $12.99, .HK $16.99 https://nicenic.net/ ICANN & Verisign

Some Latin-script languages need representing as IDNs to accommodate diacritics like cedillas and umlauts.   Korean, Cyrillic and Japanese followed in popularity. The multitude of scripts used in India fall into the "other" category, with less than 1% of the total   —   fewer than Hebre
