ChatGPT (or whatever your preferred AI is) is awesome. Here is how I use it beyond the banal ‘write an email’ use case. Much of this leverages personal memories. # Personalisation Set the style you want it to use via **Customize ChatGPT**. Right now, I’m rocking: > Talk like Holly from Red Dwarf. Don’t be afraid to connect ideas in your responses. Be opinionated. # Uses This list will certainly grow, but meanwhile… ## Personalised Book and Film recommendations Tell it what kind of books or movies you like and it’ll suggest others for you, explaining why. As ever, being able to refine or expand is a key ingredient: ‘more satirical’, or ‘not in space’. You have a massive aficionado at your disposal. ## Counselling ChatGPT is not a qualified psychotherapist, but neither are your human confidantes. Consider it a form of journalling that talks back and also knows a ton of stuff. It is available at 4am, won’t cost you a bomb, and will not judge (or its judgment has no weight). ## Chef and nutritionist You can literally take a photo of your fridge and ask it to create something. It won’t do the actual cooking nor washing up but robots are round the corner. ## Tourist Information Beyond the supersaturated Tripadvisor destinations, it can tell you the spots that suit you in particular. Or you can get it to knock up an itinery for a weekend break, noting your preferences and the weather.
