https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/14/upshot/up-ai-uses.html

The public release of ChatGPT last fall has sparked widespread interest in artificial intelligence (A.I.) models. A.I. tools are being used to help people save time at work, code without knowing how to code, make daily life easier, or just for fun. However, companies and scholars have also started to use A.I. to supercharge work they could never have imagined, designing new molecules with the help of an algorithm or building alien-like spaceship parts. Here are some real examples of how people are using A.I. for work, life, play, and procrastination:

  • Plan gardens
  • Plan workouts
  • Plan meals
  • Make a gift
  • Design parts for spaceships
  • Organize a messy computer desktop
  • Write a wedding speech
  • Write an email
  • Get a first read
  • Play devil's advocate
  • Build a clock that gives you a new poem every minute
  • Organize research for a thesis
  • Skim dozens of academic articles
  • Cope with ADHD
  • Cope with dyslexia

These examples highlight the versatility of A.I. tools and their potential to revolutionize various aspects of everyday life and specialized industries.

The public release of ChatGPT last fall kicked off a wave of interest in artificial intelligence. A.I. models have since snaked their way into many people’s everyday lives. Despite their flaws, ChatGPT and other A.I. tools are helping people to save time at work, to code without knowing how to code, to make daily life easier or just to have fun.

While Endel creates personalized music based on external factors, there's potential for AI to create songs from scratch, imitating famous artists. Record labels are pushing back against AI-generated music, but the technology could also democratize the industry. The challenge lies in ensuring fairness and diversity as AI-driven music gains traction.
