“How I use ai”
If I were to categorize these examples into two broad categories, they would be “helping me learn” and “automating boring tasks”. Helping me learn is obviously important because it means that I can now do things I previously would have found challenging; but automating boring tasks is (to me) actually equally important because it lets me focus on what I do best, and solve the hard problems.
Most importantly, these examples are real ways I’ve used LLMs to help me. They’re not designed to showcase some impressive capabiltiy; they come from my need to get actual work done. This means the examples aren’t glamorous, but a large fraction of the work I do every day isn’t, and the LLMs that are available to me today let me automate away almost all of that work.
