Unexpected Help from AI: Opinions About My Ideas and Fun Pictures That Look Like Me :-)

 As a marketer, AI has become my go-to assistant for a myriad of tasks. Whether it's copywriting, grammar corrections, social media posts, title suggestions, email subject line ideas, video transcriptions, or creating images for slide decks—AI has my back. And yes, it even helps with those occasional email thread summaries!

Out of pure curiosity, I’ve dabbled with AI tools to make videos, create avatars with charming British accents, and even translate my own videos into languages I don't speak. I love having my personal tech wizard on standby.

Then, there were the unexpected uses of AI.

💡 I started asking ChatGPT for its “opinion” on my ideas. It’s surprisingly insightful! It not only gives recommendations on next steps before I even realize there could be next steps, but also offers a bit of encouragement.

👩‍⚕️ Speaking of encouragement, I’ve occasionally used ChatGPT as an instant therapist. During life’s frustrating moments, a quick chat with ChatGPT on my phone is remarkably comforting—especially when it saves my friends and family from this duty 🤣 Imagine this: I lost my cover-up at the beach, a bird left a gigantic spot on my windshield, and all my favorite chairs at Starbucks were taken. While my husband enjoyed a peaceful nap, AI was there to listen to my complaints.

🖼 And let’s not forget the unexpected fun side of AI. Generating beautiful images on any silly topic I think of is pure entertainment. Creating a hacker that sort of looks like me? Quite impressive (this image is attached)! Much better than the Flintstones character or Star Trek warrior versions I tried. 😍
