Generative AIs like ChatGPT may not be the most appealing topic to read about, but they have many practical uses beyond just answering questions. The AI has become so well-known that people often use it as a shorthand for generative AI. However, you can also explore other options such as Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Perplexity.
One useful application is troubleshooting. If you’ve purchased an ice cream maker or smartwatch but can’t find user manuals or helpful tips in the manufacturer’s literature, ChatGPT can help diagnose and fix problems. It may even point you towards YouTube tutorials for specific tasks, like removing a pot-bound houseplant from its container.
Item identification is another use that has surprised me. When I needed to identify a bicycle model with only slight differences between models, I snapped a photo of the bike and asked ChatGPT for help. It quickly identified the brand and even pointed out problems, such as leaf blight on my houseplants.
Lastly, generating discounts and coupons can save you time and sanity. While browser extensions like Honey are useful, they may not catch every code. Asking ChatGPT to find coupons with expiration dates has been a game-changer for me in finding valid deals online.
