Just wondering what AI means you guys are using to make your lives easier?
I'm not talking about purple fluffy butterflies in MidJorney and Firefly - am talking more about process stuff that essentially takes 1 hour tasks down to 60 seconds.
One example being www.fyxer.ai - apparently it writes emails for you super fast etc but I just cant wrap my head around how it works.
Notion AI apparently gives you 8 assistants to help you.
You get the idea...
Are you guys actually seeing any professional value in certain apps and platforms or are we just all super old and think its a bag o shite?
Cheers

Certainly...
- Helps with issues that I have with apps
- Helps do research for strategy
- Configures budget sheets with functions
- Takes personal research from 10-15 minutes of googling down to one minute
- Helped me troubleshoot Looker Studio when I was learning
- It makes me smarter and dumber at the same time

Apart from visual stuff it's mostly info research / troubleshooting with:
- Perplexity
- Gemini
- ChatGPT
- ShenanigansTV1
- Coding
- Troubleshooting
- Graphics
- Stock imagesOne of the standout instances for me was using FontForge to fix character problems in the opensource font Metropolis. I've never used FontForge and GPT was able to walk me through the interface to accomplish all the fixes.

Storyboarding – completely eliminates the need to hire an artist and can generate dangerously close to the real thing.
On a personal level i am using chat to prep for my US citizenship test and it is excellent.

I applied for a job with one of the AI biggies last night. They encouraged using their product for the cover letter and one or two other sections. I would never have written that well on my own if I had years to do it.

I'm seeing an uptick in email enquieires that are clearly drafted by LLMs and ... No. Just fucking no. To the bottom of the pile you go.
I honestly despair at the directions humanity's taking.
.
(I'm not against LLMs per se, but AS A COMPONENT. AS A TOOL. AS A GUIDE. NOT AS A FUCKING ENDPOINT/PRODUCT).

One of clients is having me use AI to create ghost mannequin and AI model images for their apparel. Fashn.ai and PhotoRoom are lifesavers for that. Then ChatGPT is basically my idea sounding board to get clear on things.
I'm surprised how I'm using AI daily now (aside from stupid photoshop generative shit) and love having it part of my workflow now.

This is kind of random but I was impressed by this AI voice generator and even tried using it to create podcasts to listen to: https://elevenlabs.io/
It's funny how actual worthwhile text to speech still barely exists...this is the first one I found that crosses the listenability threshold.

All of the above.
And the one that keeps popping up is that LLMs are great for brainstorming.
The added value is less in the execution of small tasks (that's a given) but more in freeing you up to look at the bigger picture.
