Best use of AI (next 5 years and 10 years)

It’s a very good question if it weren’t for the fact that what I could answer “an hour ago, now no longer makes sense.”

It’s a “technology” that is evolving so quickly that if, years ago, it was said “in 6 months XYZ is old,” now it’s a matter of just a few hours.

In my opinion (although I find it to be a rather superficial discussion:)

• (1) Personalising user experiences
• (2) Automate Repetitive Tasks
• (6) Analysing large groups of data to identify patterns and make predictions -> main goal is (1)

(7) Not sure if "enhancing" is really the right word, I'd say "helping"

I wish I could predict this...especially as it relates to my profession in writing and marketing! Instead, I'll share some ways that I've used it recently:

• Helping me with a first draft of a paper I needed to write for Grad School (I know this sounds sketchy, but it helps me hone in on points I want to make so I can research them more deeply).
• Giving feedback on a grant application I wrote. This was INCREDIBLY helpful and gave me some key points I hadn't considered.
• I recently downloaded all of my data from Facebook in preparation for deactivating my personal account (I'd love to delete it, but I use it for clients, so I have to keep it). While it captures all of your posts, it is shared in an HTML file and a lot of it is out of chronological order. I asked ChatGPT to organize the posts and put in a text file, as I plan to use some of them as thought-starters for my Substack and (hopefully) a memoir I plan to write.

So perhaps an answer to your question is...everything! These platforms keep getting smarter and smarter, so as long as the human knows how to ask for help, the opportunities are endless.

I wish they'd come up with (affordable) AI/robotics that would fold the clean laundry that's sitting in my dryer right now...
