I used GPT to help me plan a 2 week long road trip with my family. It was pretty fucking awesome at finding cool places to stop and activities for my kids to do.
It definitely made some stupid ass suggestions that would have routed us far off our course, or suggested stopping at places 15 minutes into our trip, but sifting through the slop was still a lot quicker than doing all of the research myself.
I also use GPT to make birthday cards. Have it generate an image of some kind of inside joke etc. I used to do these by hand, and this makes it way quicker.
I also use it at work for sending out communications and stuff. It can take the information I have and format it and professionalize it really quick.
I also use it for Powershell scripting here and there, but it does some really wacky stuff sometimes that I have to go in and fix. Or it halucinates entire modules that don't exist and when I point it out it's like "good catch! That doesn't exist!" and it always gives me a little chuckle. My rule with AI and Powershell is that I don't ask it to do things that I don't already know how to do. I like to learn things and be good at my job, but I don't mind using GPT to help with some of the busy work.
I got an email once from HR that said I got a bike commuter benefit I didn't know about, and couldn't find more information about in the attachment, so I emailed HR and it turns out they used AI to write the email, and wouldn't be giving out any corrections or bike commuter benefits. Bullshit.
