During a dinner in Paris, my husband wanted a Napa cabernet, and I used ChatGPT to translate the French wine menu. The AI quickly recommended a wine, which our waiter approved. While AI often seems geared towards tech experts, anyone can utilize it—it’s straightforward and beneficial. For those curious about getting started with AI like ChatGPT, it is accessible on the web and mobile devices, with a free tier available. I use ChatGPT Plus for enhanced features, but starting with the free version is advisable. Besides ChatGPT, AI alternatives include Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, where you interact with the system like having a conversation rather than a simple web search. Using AI effectively requires crafting precise prompts to guide responses.
This entails "priming" the system with specific instructions for better, tailored results. Customizing prompts, such as setting word limits or formatting requests, can greatly enhance the output. Here are practical prompt examples to simplify tasks: breaking down goals, generating creative ideas, improving written content, transforming meeting notes into emails, summarizing long emails and drafting replies, designing fitness plans, or rephrasing text to be more amiable. Be cautious with privacy and data security when using AI tools. Avoid sharing sensitive information, as AI systems can collect and store data. Manage privacy settings, especially with free accounts, to ensure safe usage.
