I work as a content creator. At work I might be creating marketing emails, writing blogs, creating video scripts. I get AI to either create these from scratch, and then edit/rewrite them.
Or I get AI to outline for me, so I need a model that has great insight into topics. This in particular is key because it saves me substantial mental energy. On my own, I can create an outline given an hour, and another hour the next day to review it so I've got a fresh mind. Or I can get AI to provide a great, insightful outline in about 10 seconds.
Often I get AI to review copy, too, sometimes on quite technical topics. I ask it to find errors or questionable/ambiguous statements.
But it isn't just about that! Sometimes I use AI personally as a search engine – from pension plans, to health issues, to iPad accessories.
I'm currently paying for ChatGPT but with GPT5, that now feels like wasted money given I can get a lot of it for free (given that I use it maybe 5-10 times a day at most).
