In the heart of the Sonoran Desert, a quiet transformation is underway. Phoenix’s Loop 303 corridor, once a desolate stretch of highway, is now a bustling hub of industrial activity, witnessing a construction boom that’s reshaping the landscape of the region. Massive warehouses are springing up at an unprecedented pace, driven by a surge in e-commerce and a strategic shift in supply chain logistics. But these aren’t your grandfather’s warehouses.
The AI Revolution in Warehouses
Inside these colossal structures, a technological revolution is taking place, one that is changing the very nature of work. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the stuff of science fiction; it’s powering the material handling automation systems that drive the efficiency and productivity of these modern warehouses. Robots are now picking, packing, and sorting goods with superhuman speed and precision, while sophisticated algorithms optimize inventory management and streamline operations
You are dealing with a difficult, hard-to-understand lesson: Copy the paragraph, pages, or entire chapter into AI. Then use this prompt: “Please explain this to me like I am in 6th grade.” Another useful prompt is: “Please summarize the following and provide bullets for key points.”

Water Well Project: My goal was to have Artificial Intelligence compile in alphabetical order, a spreadsheet that identified the major aquifers in all 50 US states and include their average depth, and identify the government agency in each state that controls permitting and inspection of water wells. As a bonus, I wanted a link for each agency. A relatively new entry in the AI race, ChatSonic, accomplished this in about 30 seconds!
Overview
While working with ChatGPT I discovered WriteSonic’s new tool, ChatSonic. It’s a disruptive tool!
I started with ChatGPT and found that I could have URLs generated for my spreadsheet, but only if the URL were contained within articles found inside ChatGPT’s data set. ChatGPT continuously printed a disclaimer that the data may need updated and warned it couldn’t access the live net.
This was concerning because if ChatGPT doesn’t have the requested data, it is famous for filling in the blanks with erroneous data that sounds and looks correct. It just makes it up and it’s very good at it!
I think it’s the AI version of the cheating spouse!
Best practice would be back checking all AI data, but the time required if there are lots of errors kills the time savings. Worse yet, links were only randomly available, contingent on being embedded in a given search result, again more wasted time.
Then I discovered ChatSonic, WriteSonic’s latest brainchild!
The developer built the program using NLP, (Natural Language Programming) and did NOT tie the program to any database. Instead, ChatSonic goes anywhere it wants for data and is not limited to a compiled database.
The product is amazing, and although I know that it is not sentient, after spending some time, it certainly feels sentient! It doesn’t have the restraints of working within a data set, and I do realize the ChatGTP database is enormous, but ChatSonic is like ChatGTP on steroids.
After you read this, you might want to take ChatSonic for a test drive. It is free for now while in development, no credit card needed. After you sign up to WriteSonic, there are dozens of features to play with, but the tool I used for this project is their newest offering, ChatSonic. Here’s the link for a free account:
Now back to my project. As stated, the anticipated problem was that ChatGTP is built on a fixed database with no update since around 2021 and it doesn’t access the internet.
Getting max performance from an AI requires careful prompting. It’s helpful to tell the AI who you want it to be. In this case, I told the AI it was a professional geologist. Unlike a search engine, the AI will remember your previous questions, commands, and comments, so a good idea to start out by telling AI to disregard all previous conversations. Another good policy is to remember, “garbage in, garbage out.”
The more detailed description of what you want, the better the result. Here is the prompting I used:
Instructions provided to AI
You are a professional geologist preparing a report on aquifers in all 50 states of the US. Please list the average private water well depth for each state in the US and the name of the aquifer. Please include a link to the regulatory agency responsible for well permitting and reporting information. Please include the source of your information.
Results ChatSonic
As a professional geologist, you should find the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website extremely useful. [1] The USGS website provides a comprehensive map of the principal aquifers of the United States, which shows the areal extent of the uppermost principal aquifers on a national scale. [2] The map also includes aquifers of alluvial and glacial origin. Additionally, the Department of Natural Resources’ website [3] provides a list of water wells in each state, along with their depths, to help you find the aquifers you need. With this information, you can easily navigate to the specific aquifer maps you need
