Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

[IOWASTATE]

I’m an old retired guy who doesn’t know anything about Gemini or AI in general. In terms of your point 1, what do you know about the results you got? Do you know what companies were used, what time frames, what statistical methodologies? It seems like when you ask AI a question, you always get an answer. How do you know the answer is correct?

Fair point that you will always get ‘an’ answer. I asked it about 2 specific companies that I’m familiar with. Both have been public for less than a decade so data results were more recent. Can’t speak to the methodologies but you can go validate stock prices for the days following earnings releases.

To not answer your question, I don’t know. Is it right, is it wrong…. ????? At a minimum it was interesting and did compile a fair bit of information that could be verified. If anything, it summarized info in a thought provoking way that historically would take a lot of time to compile.

I have a Bee wearable that is fantastic for summarizing meetings and creating to dos and deliverables from conversations and phone calls . It’s helped me not delay or drop the ball on stuff I promise. Probably the best $50 I ever spent. I ordered them for my Sr team and my assistant. Unfortunately they are quite a ways out on shipping.
Chatgpt deep research is becoming more useful all the time. I use it for competitor analysis, market research, and product development research.
Our internal AI generated creative and ads are out performing our agency If that stays consistent a few more months that’s a line item we can offload.
I use Claude for writing. Once I connected it to google drive and had it analyze previous writing it’s done a great job creating things that match my writing style. Saves me at least a couple hours a day just responding to emails and Slack messages.

I've used it for writing mostly. I find it's a good way to get something started which is usually the most difficult part of the process for me. But it's an iterative process that requires a lot of editing and fact checking if you want something good. I still don't use it much for my job overall, but once they start integrating it into all the different programs and apps I use it will have a much bigger impact. Not sure how far off that is, but probably not very far out.

Its scary how good it is, yeah it spits out junk but will fix it. I went from zero coding ability to being able to code anything I can think of via prompts. Does it work right off the bat all the time, no, does it work after some back and forth, yes. Pure coding is now a near worthless skill. Sorry as someone who is slow to adopt I am blown away on what it can do.

Once AI has "hands" it will be a huge jump. We will lose control over the systems and humans wont know how it works. That tech might be here already not sure. Also its eyes are okay but pretty limited in my use. I tried to post a picture of a building and ask it to envision an addition and it simply cannot do it yet, at least the LLMs cant.
