When A.I is Useless

How many times have you had the thought... Ohh I must try and see if ChatGPT can help me with this.

Only for it to not work or worse time out with a "network error".

It is discouraging, I get it.

But you have to keep trying to use A.I to solve your problems.

Why?

Because when you do get the solution right it can save you a lot of time.

Not for the completion of one task, but because you can save time on that task forever.

That's what happened to me

With writing blog posts

I used to spend all day writing 3 blog posts.

I now "write" 5-8 blog posts in an hour.

This frees up my time to start new projects like writing this newsletter.

But that doesn't mean I haven't wasted plenty of time with A.I

Like last week, when researching for the A.I Tools at Work course, I spent a whole day on a topic only to realize that it was a waste of time and most people wouldn't actually benefit that much from this application of A.I.

It happens,

But don't let it discourage you

A.I is developing every day.

In fact, Open A.I are announcing some new features today. It starts shortly. You can watch it here.

Keep testing and experimenting

It might be worth it someday.

Ps, Thanks to everyone who told me how they are using A.I at work and for submitting ideas for the course. I read every email and have loved getting to know some of you.
