The artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT has had a steep career in recent months. It helps students as well as office staff to formulate clean texts; IT laypeople program entire apps with their support; Thanks to ChatGPT, resourceful people are now also freed from the effort of manually creating PowerPoint presentations or carrying out Excel analyses. In this way, AI can also be a real help in many areas in everyday life.
If you ask the AI ??directly how it can support its users in everyday life, it gives different answers. What they all have in common, however, is that they are actually everyday aspects in which many people need support. For example, as a personal assistant who manages appointments and reminds them of them. A welcome relief for many people.
In everyday life, more and more often you see people who deliberately let ChatGPT suggest things: a recipe for dinner together and a recommendation for the subsequent film or series? The artificial intelligence has many tips and suggestions ready, also for music, board games or other interests and hobbies. All you have to do is ask the AI ??about it.
The possible scenarios in which AI can help us are endless. Never patched a flat tire? ChatGPT explains how to do this. No idea if and how much grandpa’s stamp collection is worth? ChatGPT provides first clues. Didn’t have time to research for the next city trip? ChatGPT does that along the way.
ChatGPT even suggests that it can be used as a remedy for loneliness: “If you just want to chat or tell someone something, I’m happy to listen and talk to you,” the artificial intelligence replies when asked. This offer is also relevant in the everyday life of many people. However, it should be borne in mind that the AI ??is not suitable for taking on human closeness, care or even therapeutic tasks.
If users are not satisfied with their first answer: simply dig deeper and insist on other, more specific answers. ChatGPT is complex enough to be able to converse with its users in normal everyday language and also has endless patience to find the desired result together. For end users, this is exactly the biggest difference to the classic search engine: instead of having to find your way through the jungle of results, the AI ??does it for you – again and again if necessary.
However, there is still one small limitation: You should not blindly trust AI systems like ChatGPT. The application itself repeatedly points out, especially when it comes to sensitive and personal issues, that it makes mistakes and cannot replace real specialist staff. In the case of simple results such as film recommendations, this is less important than if the AI ??recommends a hotel that may no longer exist. Therefore, when dealing with ChatGPT, as in everyday life: think along and check important information yourself.
