Practical AI (day 1)
Different ways that you can use AI tools to be more productive, today.
For those of us who use AI tools daily, the thought of having to stop feels like existential dread. I never realized how much of my life was consumed by searching, reading, and categorizing information until these tools changed everything. This series will showcase several practical ways I've integrated AI into my everyday life, transforming how I work and process information.
Lets keep this practical, and get right into it.
Explain it to me like…
One way that I use chatGPT constantly is to explain big picture concepts and ideas in a quick and simple manner. I can ask it questions, and have it use different analogies to make sure I understand the details.
Just give me the broad strokes
Another good tip is to use the “Web Search” functionality to quickly synthesize broad topics into digestible pieces of information. Rather than researching with a microscope, this broad context helps you make sense of whats going on.
Conclusion
AI tools offer a great way to get information that is tailored to your unique requests. Unlike Google, who often gives you lots of results about the topic you’re interested in, AI tools can give you answers about the topic you’re interested in.
And it can do it in any language or written style you can think of.
