If you use any AI, what do you use it for?
Report writing. I'm mostly retired, but still do a bit of consulting here and there. A typical project might included summarizing previous work, including new data, and coming up with conclusions and recommendations. So I'll have Perplexity summarize prior reports. I still have to read the prior reports and understand them, but it is an enormous time saver to have AI do the writing. AI doesn't always get it exactly right, there is always some tweaking required, but it is a big time savings. Then I'll tell it what new data I have and what conclusions I want. Then it will spit out a paragraph or two. Which again requires tweaking, but the bones are there.
Another example is I had a bunch of data that were recorded on individual pdfs and then scanned. So I didn't have the actual pdfs, I had images. 120 images or something. So I asked Perplexity to compile all the data in a table, which it did. That saved me a huge amount of time.
I am certain I am scratching the very, very, surface of what other people are doing in this area. I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of most of my peers, but that won't be true for long.
I recently had ChatGPT create a travel agenda for me. In hindsight, it could have done a better job, but I didn't have to do it myself. But it created logical driving routes, hotel candidates (I specified IHG hotels), restaurant recommendations, and so on.
