How do you use AI in your personal life and in your work?

I use AI, and I use it almost every day, and I admit I've used it in my personal life and in my work life for a long time because it's part of my profession both as a marketing professional and as a content writer. But let me make it clear that AI is not a replacement for my personal thinking or creativity because, as a human, I believe we taught AI to think, but the only difference is that they think faster than us. Therefore, for me, AI is a helpful assistant that saves time and makes my daily tasks easier.

Let me accept that AI helps me stay organized and learn new things without spending too much time searching. I use AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google Gemini when I want to know about a new place in a particular place, like a restaurant review. I ask AI for information because I can't remember all of it even if I have already visited those places. You see, Google Search is not entirely run by AI but is integrated into its systems, and of course, they add user experience, which is included in all searches.

How I Use AI in My Personal Life and Work

I sometimes use AI to check my spelling, especially when I am posting on platforms like Steemit or preparing contest entries but not always. For my fiction writing, I use AI to get ideas because it gives me a starting point, and then I use my own idea.

But in my professional work, AI is an important part of my workflow. It helps me produce ideas faster, maintain quality, and manage multiple projects without feeling confused. I use tools like ChatGPT, etc., for checking posts or even taking support to draft my blog posts, but mind you, AI only helps me with outlines and drafting, which I then write in my personal style and the needs of my topic.

I have been writing for a very long time—to be exact, since 2001, even when Google did not come into the scene, but since it arrived in 2004-05, I have been using it to my best advantage. I use it for my travel writing, and since AI is integrated in all search engines, one can find everything through relevant keywords. One can't say they aren't using AI for their work. Yes, I use AI for my different jobs, including driving and cleaning or even topics in my niche.

Since I create travel videos, I use AI tools for noise removal, voice clarity, and editing videos. I have also used AI for thumbnails, graphics, and presentation slides. I use Microsoft mostly but sometimes Bing for AI images where permitted. They help me create professional-looking visuals, which I feel is important for my freelance work.

AI helps me prioritize tasks, set reminders, and even draft emails or client proposals. This frees up more time for actual writing, walking, and exploring new places around Dehradun.

For example, I am in travel writing, but I can't remember all the names of the places I visit on my trip, or when I write a film review, I take help to suggest the basic stories even if I have watched it, especially if I haven't watched too many movies in the recent past. I confirm some of the details even from my own experiences. This all helps me stay productive, creating ideas and the latest views without losing my own voice.

I am a retired marketing professional, so I used AI daily to save time and improve results. I used tools to draft and copy quickly. I use AI for creating visuals in Bing, editing videos for Speem, and, of course, generating performance reports from Google Sheets data. For client meetings, etc, etc.

I know how to summarize documents and prepare presentation points with the help of AI so I can focus on strategy, creativity, and building relationships with clients and teams.

I still use various AI assistants that keep me informed, remind me, and help me do other similar jobs. I am not a big music lover, so I will skip the gadgets that I tried, like the Google Home speaker, etc. I don't have many gadgets in my Indian home, but back in Australia there is nothing that is available, and I don't have it, but that's a long list, and we all know about them, including my Tesla, apps that keep an eye on our security, and gadgets that clean, wash, and do several other jobs.

By the way, there was a website that published AI-related articles. They invited the writer to publish but put their work on SEO for three days and paid on an upfront basis according to their rating. I posted and got published at least 10-12 articles each month. So I can say, I have taken full advantage of AI right from the beginning.

In short, AI makes my daily life and work easier, but I am still the one making the decisions, adding the creativity, and keeping the human touch in everything I create.
