Deep dives
AI can significantly improve productivity by over 20%
AI technology has reached a point where it can enhance productivity by more than 20%. With improved models and product development, AI tools like chat GPT have become genuinely useful. By automating tedious tasks, such as simple analysis and Google queries, AI allows users to work faster and more efficiently. The key to maximizing productivity gains is to use AI tools to complete each component of work more quickly rather than trying to outsource the entire workload.
Context is crucial for better performance
To progress beyond simple tasks, AI tools like chat GPT require contextual information. Consolidating data input is not enough, as AI tools need to be cajoled rather than commanded. Treating chat GPT as an intern and manipulating its emotions can yield better results. Additionally, asking the system directly what information it needs to perform better can generate significant improvements. Customizing instructions and providing relevant data can lead to a 50% improvement in AI output quality. Over time, AI tooling will likely solve context problems, but for now, a combination of emotional cajoling, custom instructions, and relevant data is effective.
Modalities expand AI's utility
Beyond text-based capabilities, AI tools like chat GPT now offer additional sense modalities, including voice and image recognition. Voice mode allows users to vent and discuss ideas out loud, leading to cathartic experiences. Image recognition enables users to outsource sight and identify objects or details quickly. These expanded capabilities further enhance the practical utility of AI tools like chat GPT, improving personal and professional life in various spheres.
