Will AI Help Us Make Better Choices?

Is anyone else finding that they’re settling into patterns with their use of AI chat models?

I haven’t done a real “search” in a while. Not the Google kind anyway.

When I search, it’s in academic databases for specific articles and authors.

I use an LLM to critique my writing and find weaknesses, but not to rewrite or suggest language.

I want to find my own words.

At work, it seems increasingly natural to ask a model to do work.

Add some calculations to a spreadsheet. Pull out action points from my notes. Create a first draft.

I’ve read of others using models as a way to process thoughts – talking to them about how they’re feeling.

I’ve started an experiment doing that as a food log instead. I talk to an LLM about the plan for the day. How many calories in this meal? Can I have this bar of chocolate or not?

It seems like this technology is now settling into some of our daily systems and routines.

I’m optimistic about the path we’re taking.

This technology may help us make better choices over time.
