How People Are Using GenAI

https://hbr.org/2024/03/how-people-are-really-using-genai

In addition to the hundred here, here are my use cases that I think aren’t in the list. Apologies if I missed some overlap!

  1. Translating Marathi documents into English, and vice-versa
  2. Cheating on Duolingo exercises (sue me, why don’t you :P)
  3. Summarizing academic papers in a way that suits my academic and professional background, and giving me a rating (1-10) about whether I should take the time and trouble to read it myself
  4. News-reading companion. I ask AI to adopt a cheery outlook and play devil’s advocate to my grim and negative takes
  5. Generating better prompts – I feed my prompts into AI and ask it to make ’em better and more thorough
