Just today.

I’ll go first:

a critical analysis of a report I’ve written for work
a shopping list for a bbq tomorrow
To suggest planting ideas in the garden

Nothing actively as far as I’m aware. I keep reading that it’s terrible for the environment due to the amount of water it takes to cool the machines and it’s not something I’ve ever felt the need to seek out and use so I don’t plan on this changing!

Interesting I think you’re talking about the data centres. My husband is working on a way to use the energy produced by the data centres to heat homes.

Using photoshops gen ai, for work to just speed up some editing.

Troubleshooting a software error code at work

Suggesting some changes to a recipe because I couldn't get hold of a couple of the ingredients.

I'm not in favour of AI because of the jobs that will be lost and because I loathe AI images. However the dam has burst and it's too late.
I find it brilliant for getting to the nitty gritty of a technical problem and for medical stuff.
Today I used it to solve an issue with WiFi calling on my phone.
DH (75) is using it to speed up some computer programming he's doing. Not sure how but I think it's de-bugging.

Rewrote an email for me, visualised designs for my kitchen and I'll ask it to do a bit of technical research for work in laymans terms before I finish up.

Nothing that I actively sought out but I’m sure have done, such is life - autocorrect and autocomplete I’m sure is some form of AI.
Also come across some AI on my insta feed so I’ve used it for entertainment I suppose.

ETA I’m very much not anti AI and use it perhaps twice a week for work. Just not at work today!

TheAutumnCrow · 27/06/2025 15:52

Nothing.

I've read multiple news stories about discarded clothing ending up dumped in sensitive ecosystems in other countries and wanted to understand more about the routes it takes to get there, and how to avoid contributing (aside from the obvious of not considering clothes as throwaway/ avoiding fast fashion), so i asked ChatGPT

I’ve never yet used AI in my life!

Me neither. So nothing, as far as I know. Smile
