How people are interacting with AI ?

Key notes

What Users Are Doing Here are some samples from the 100, with one quote for each. The full list is at the bottom of this article.

Generating ideas (#1). “I love it for brainstorming because it’s like the perfect teammate. It can keep up with me and doesn’t get hung up on dead-end ideas, and it can summarize what we come up with so it’s easier to present or reference later on.”

Specific search (#2). “There was a particular cookie my grandmother used to give me and I really liked the taste and texture, and I had looked at the grocery to no avail until one evening … I decided that it might be fruitful to ask ChatGPT for help … It was SnackWell’s.”

Editing text (#4). “I use it to check my own biases with op-eds and speeches and other political stuff. If something makes me feel strongly, I copy it into ChatGPT and ask it to tell me the logical fallacies and possible misinformation in the piece. It is a HUGE gut check!!”

Drafting emails (#11). “I work in investor relations and the amount of time I’ve saved using ChatGPT to help me draft emails is almost unquantifiable.”

Simple explainers (#12). “It’s also way better at explaining concepts to non-engineers than us engineers are. By default it writes at a 5th-grade level, which is perfect for a lot of people we interact with at work.”

Excel formulas (#14). “I have to write a lot of .vb and Excel formulas to reconcile data from less technical people. ChatGPT helps 45-minute tasks take about three to five minutes.”

Making a complaint (#23). “A car wash damaged my wife’s SUV and refused to pay, so GPT drafted a demand letter for me, and I took them to small claims court.”

Generating appraisals (#26). “I know some managers who use it to help punch up performance appraisal write ups for their employees.”

Editing legal doc (#44).. “I fed it a long, overly complex service level agreement for a SaaS contract and ask it to rewrite it to make it simpler and easier to digest. It kept the important SLA terms but condensed the language by 70%.”

Sampling data (#85). “It’s great for producing demo data. [If you] need a bunch of fake company names or customer names or product codes, ChatGPT is good at deriving stuff like that.”
