We can say people are using AI for updating their Instagram profile picture, using it for school assignments and completing university work. But what more? When these assignments could be practical work, there has to be something more, right? Let us explore.
We are living in a time where AI has been used for so many things, but a lot of individuals are still unaware of the practical use of artificial intelligence (AI). There are a lot of things people are still mising what AI can do, so why don’t we guide you through?

Why People Are Missing What AI Can Actually Do?
There can be a lot of reasons, but the most significant one is that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are extremely powerful but are built in a manner that encourages people to use them in the wrong way. Here is what people are missing:
- The first thing people are trying to do with AI is what it is worst at, using it like Google. Isn’t it right? We ask it “Tell me about the latest trends, or look up these’ things’ and so on. Many of the models are not connected to the internet, and even the ones that are make up facts.
- The second thing, they are trying to use it like Alexa and asking a question often about the AI itself. “Will AI take my job?” Though these are also terrible, with one exception, most of the AI systems lack personality and are not programmed to be fun like Alexa. So, people leave after getting disappointed.
- If they still stick around, they start to ask more interesting questions, either for fun or just college prompts. “Write an article on this topic.” These are sort of okay, then the ones mentioned above. People scroll for a while. If they are interested, they find gaps; if not, they leave thinking everyone is going to use it.
All of these uses are not what AI is actually good at and how it can be helpful, but they can blind you to the real power of these tools.
How to Use AI Effectively and Practically?
| Write anything, Blog posts, promotional material, speeches, lectures or essays- you name it, it does it. Who? ChatGPT-4, no other tool has come closer to it for now. You can access Bing for free or by purchasing a $20/month subscription to ChatGPT. GPT-3.5 is also good at writing and can be much faster. Here is what you can do:

| Image generation is one of the biggest benefits of AI. Take a look at three big image generators out there:
Here are some uses:
|
| It is now common to see a AI generated videos or reel on Instagram, isn’t it? Generated characters sometimes become difficult to even recognise or differentiate from the real ones. You can use the images generated using the techniques, and read a completely AI-written script, talking in an AI-made voice or animated by AI. You must use these systems ethically. |
| Coding is one of the biggest benefits of AI. GPT-3.5 is a powerful companion for your coding. But GPT-4 is next level. Tell it what you want in words and see it create the code. It does tell you what files to download, what websites to go to and what to do. You can get additional things and learn new techniques. |
FAQs: AI And Practical Stuff
Q1. How can AI help learn stuff?
AI can be a powerful tool to learn and explore new things. It can summarise texts that seem difficult to read or learn. It can help with concepts. You can ask to explain the concept, but do double check as AI do come with a warning that “ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important information.”
Q2. How does AI help with idea generation?
Idea generation is one of the biggest benefits of AI. You can ask about a business plan or a rough sitemap. It does provide several ideas and concepts, and you can alter the results according to your convenience.
