Currently everyone is talking about ChatGPT. But what is behind the term and what added value can the use of AI, especially ChatGPT, offer?

ChatGPT – A Text-Based AI Application
Artificial intelligence (AI for short) refers to computer technologies developed to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. In this process, computers are designed to learn to recognize patterns, make decisions, and solve problems. AI is playing an ever-increasing role in our daily lives, providing us with assistance and convenience through voice assistants like Alexa and Siri, personalized movie recommendations on Netflix, or facial recognition on our smartphone camera.

ChatGPT is an AI program that interacts with users via text according to a question-answer pattern. It can answer questions, write texts, and respond to various requests as if it were a real human. To make this possible, the tool was trained with a large amount of text data to generate contextual and relevant answers. All users have to do is type in a question. The program then answers in complete sentences

Multiple ways of use – private and professional
In private everyday life ChatGPT can be used in many ways. For example, if you want to know what makes Walchwil unique, one of the things mentioned is the strong sense of community with the lively community life, which contributes positively to the social network in our community. You can also look for recipes by asking the program for dinner ideas. If you are looking for entertainment, you can simply chat with the AI application and share jokes or riddles.

In professional life, ChatGPT can also be very useful: For example, you can ask the program for ideas for a creative brand name or have it generate text suggestions for blog articles, emails or product descriptions. The AI tool can also support research by providing information on specific topics.

The potential fields of use for ChatGPT are many and varied. It can help in numerous situations, answer questions, give ideas, and save time, making it a useful tool in everyday private and professional life.

Human vs. ChatGPT: Will we soon be replaced by AI?
No! AI can help us in many areas, especially when it comes to automating repetitive tasks or analyzing large amounts of data, but human expertise is still essential! For example, AI cannot fully replicate the creativity, strategic thinking, and empathy of humans. However, learning the right way to use AI tools can be rewarding for us both personally and professionally!

An anti-cat initiative is causing discussion. There are too many cats in Switzerland.

The fact is that cats are by far the most popular pets in this country and their population is growing continuously. According to the Identitas national database, there are currently more than three quarters of a million cats – and that's just the registered animals. The exact number of cats in this country is not known. This is because, unlike dogs, they are not subject to registration. Identitas estimates the cat population in Switzerland at over two million animals, almost 758,000 of which are currently registered in the database - twice as many as a few years ago.

This is how many cats there are in Walchwil

Number
250 (6.5 cats per 100 inhabitants)

Most popular breeds (absolute)
European domestic cat: 121
European Shorthair: 27
British Shorthair: 16
Crossbreed: 16
Bengal: 8
Maine Coon: 8

In heavy rain, the marquee on the Pfaffenboden was full for the yodelling mass with the alphorn players. Community leader Benjamin Meier invited guests to stay for greetings from the presidents and a speech by the chronicler, who spoke of four old aunts to be celebrated today: 150 years of the residents‘, citizens’, corporate and Catholic parishes.

Such an anniversary may not seem so exciting, but it is certainly cause for gratitude: 150 years of tried and tested institutions that shape and promote public order (‘liberté - égalité - fraternité’). Freedom of establishment was and is both an achievement and a challenge. We can be grateful to have suitable, strong institutions for this. The President of the Church Council spoke with reason about the future. It is surprising to discover that the Protestant Reformed parish of the Canton of Zug is even older than the Catholic parishes in the canton! The government council had already approved a separate parish for Protestant immigrants in 1867, with foresight and without a legal basis, which was only created later for all parishes. In Walchwil, we will also be celebrating 60 years of existence of our pretty Reformed church next Sunday.

In any case, the Reformed are happy about the four ‘old aunts’ in the village: the residents‘, citizens’, corporate and Catholic parishes. We congratulate them on their anniversary!
