A New Perspective on AI: More than Doomsday Predictions
We’ve all heard the doomsday predictions about AI – it’s so powerful that it’s destined to obliterate the world. But, while we’re waiting for that to happen, let’s pause for a second and ask: what is AI useful for right now?
A Helping Hand in Brainstorming
Writing headlines can be a pain, isn’t it? You spend hours crafting an article, and what do people see first? The headline. So, you end up spending just as much time on those few words at the top. Now, I’ve found an unexpected helping hand – ChatGPT. While most of its recommendations are either bad or cliché, sometimes it can point you in a direction you hadn’t thought of. And it’s not just for headlines. Need a list of party themes? Ask ChatGPT. Sure, you’ll get some bad ideas, but you might also get that one gem worth building on.
Let ChatGPT Play with Your Writing Tone
Struggling with assertiveness or diplomacy in your writing? Let ChatGPT lend a hand. Paste an email or a message, ask for a different tone, and voilà. Now, I’m not suggesting you send out what the bot gives you verbatim, but it could give you some insight into how your writing comes across and inspire some changes. It can also double as a crude copy editor.
The Bot That Makes Up Names
We all know AI is great at making stuff up. Need a list of fake names? ChatGPT is your go-to. Whether it’s for testing software, writing fiction, or naming a character in a game, ChatGPT can generate a convincing list of names. It’s a blessing for Dungeon Masters designing their campaigns.
Your Personal Guide for Keyboard Shortcuts and Formulas
ChatGPT is a whiz when it comes to looking up specific tasks for your computer. Forgotten a keyboard shortcut? Need a guide on spreadsheet formulas? ChatGPT has got you covered. Yes, you could Google, but this is so much faster.
Code Away with ChatGPT
If you’re a programmer, you’re in luck. You can paste code and ask the bot what it does. You can ask it to rewrite code in a different language, or to write code that does a specific thing. Now, it’s not perfect and you’ll need to know your way around code to clean up what it produces, but it can help speed things up.
So there you go. AI, specifically ChatGPT, isn’t just about doomsday predictions. It’s a versatile tool that can speed things up, spark new ideas, and offer a fresh perspective. And it’s right here, right now.
