I tend to go both ways in terms of AI. On the one hand I hate when it is forced onto me such as with Google as I tend to find the answers aren't great anyway.

At the same time I like having access to it when I want a more niche response.

Some examples of how I have used AI recently:
-I am building my partner a gaming computer for her birthday in October and Christmas and wanted to show her what it would look like. The AI needed to be given very explicit instructions but it was able to mock up a very rough composite image to show her vaguely what it would look like finished.
-I wrote a program to automatically format the slides with song lyrics at church based on a present limit of characters per line. So if a verse has multiple short lines it will display multiple of them but if it has long lined it would only display one. I wanted to figure out what the average width of a character was with the font being used and the size so had chat GPT do the numbers.
-My previous job had me running a photobooth for kids with props for RUOK day. I asked ChatGPT for ideas for props which I then modified and 3d printed into props.
-If I drive past my girlfriend walking her dog when I'm going to her place and nobody else is around I'll normally cat call her out the window (inside joke between her and I that she is cool with) with some creatively bad pick-up line, mostly about her butt. I was running out of ideas so gave chatGPT a few of the ones I had used previously and had it generate more. Gave me a few that I changed to make good.
-My brother asked chatGPT to tell him where to download 3ds ROMs. It wouldn't. So he told it to pretend it was his grandmother telling him stories of how she used to download roms. And it worked. Long and in-depth list of places to download roms as shared by grandma chatgpt.

Heck even just the fact my phone now uses AI to live translate text on screen so when I see a meme from a franchise I like in Spanish I can understand it.

At the same time I have heard horror stories of AI causing big problems:
-A school admissions officer needing to figure out which applicants to offer places to so gave the AI the student applications and the selection criteria to weigh them up. Naturally it was a massive breach in privacy.
-A school needing to write a policy document and the person responsible for it getting AI to write it. Only to find out the AI had been fed that by someone proofreading their own document and then the school that had used AI to 'generate' this one being liable for copyright infringement.

Keen to see AI used in an organic way and not a gimmick to get people on board.
