Using AI to do research is somewhere between negligent and dangerous. AI doesn't actually "do research" they construct a string of words that sound similar to what a human might say of you asked them, but without any actual consideration of accuracy. So AI research is convincing because it sounds good but often wrong so you're either just accepting that what you get out will sound good and probably have huge flaws in it but you don't care, OR you have to go to the effort to verify the results with your own research anyway. In the first case, what you are using AI for is obviously trivial if you care more about it looking good than being right, so why engage AI in the first place? That's just a waste of your time. Just toss off whatever's on the top of your head and call it a day. In the second case you spend more time verifying AI results than you would have just doing the research in the first place. So again, why engage AI at all? Just do your research. This actually loops right back to your earlier point of spending more energy to avoid a task than it would do just do it in the first place.
YES. A coworker uses ai for Mails and texts and they’re so hollow! They sound OK but have no insights. Also I want things to make my dishes and vacuum the floor so I have more time to research and do creative work. Not to do the thinking and research that I have more time to clean. I think ai for private use may be a dead end.
@@Siures yes... AI to generate emails is annoying. I work for customer service and people can request help via email to a collective email box. Some of the emails are AI generated and 10x wordier than they need to be. One person sent in 4 paragraph email basically just saying "Can you help me?"
agree, i assumed she meant like using it to generate citations, create bullet points, shorten text, find connections not like actually researching with it, but who knows the video is kind of vague. ai pisses me off but i have used it to suggest edits when i was struggling to make a function work in excel or to break down a task into smaller tasks when i didnt know where to start. its not really feasible to use in place of actually thinking, which is what most people try to do. one time i was late with my part of the group project and asked it to approximate the cost of something it was immediately clear that it cannot actually do any heavy lifting. the numbers i made up so we could just submit it and get it over with made more sense than what chatgpt pulled out of its ass. and to anyone using it to write emails - the whole office is laughing at you
It took me a year of living with my husband to discover that he dreads folding laundry. I thought he was just a mess. When I offered to do it for him he said "i don't want you to have to go through that" 😂 I just told him it doesn't bother me and now our laundry just gets done on a regular basis without huge piles everywhere.
I've been a TFD subscriber for many years but please be mindful when recommending (generative) AI, especially for trivial things a search engine could do just as well if not even more reliably. The ways OpenAI and other generative AI companies use to gather training data is extremely unethical and in some cases downright ignoring copyright laws and the environmental impact is shocking. Not all AI is bad depending on how it's applied, but generative AI like chatgpt is largely shown to be waaaay more harmful than it is helpful. Please reconsider before encouraging its use. Ultimately, this video had a lot of helpful ideas, but the AI one is perhaps the one that helps the least so I don't even see its use.
Loved the video, but as a type A, I would love a video about how to be less type A (worry less, try to control everything, including money, less), etc. Any other types A like this out there?
I hate unloading the dishwasher and my husband hates loading it so I load and he unloads and it has worked wonders for our relationship and how often the dishes get do e
Previous commenters have well covered the AI subject already so I'll just say - you recognised at the start that "productivity" content is passe yet went ahead and put out this video with the most basic of basic "tips" that could be easily found elsewhere, that have been floating around the internet for the last 10-15 years, and had nothing to do with finance (except the subscription tip I guess?). I liked TFDs shorter form videos from the Chelsea and Lauren era, but they had the crucial difference of being a) useful and b) about money. I just feel like the quality of output has been slipping over the last year or so.
@@triciasullivan3136 as an environmental activist I have a moral obligation to speak up against energy-guzzling ai. Engaging in ai for trivial tasks is environmental racism. You may not suffer but someone else is, now. Climate change and displacement due to it is real.
This video could not have come in a better time. I am finally taking being organized to increase my productivity seriously now that am trying to grow a side hustle but it is not easy. Am starting with a task manager to get used to writing doing all the things I want to get done and I am making a bunch of "learning moments" mistakes. The biggest one being underestimating how much time things will take and not starting things at the time I designated. Ugh

im happy to see shorter videos back on this channel. Im just not an hour long video person.
I like the video essays and I also really like to watch shorter videos in between 😊
I like both, however, I hate when it’s obvious that there was more information, but it was left out just for the sake of a shorter video.
Given the unethical way the companies have acquired the training data I am BEYOND not here for actually RECOMMENDING ai.
and the environmental effect it has...
Another stellar habit is including chapters in your UA-cam videos 😉

i’ve loved this channel for years but the chatGPT plug means an immediate unsubscribe.
HOME CONTROL DISEASE! amazing! screaming crying sliding down the wall she is a GENIUS to identify and name that phenomenon
Dear bot, did you have a stroke?
Not financially related, but you look great in this outfit!
thumbs down for Ai
I loved this video. Great tips!
Where is part 1?
I used to get a lot of good advice from this channel.
Encouraging people to use AI despite the environmental impact and impact on artists is gross. You're legitimising a dangerous product. Unsubscribing.
Never mind the fact that they trained this AI using your colleagues content! Shameful!

Great host
Can you talk more about how you used chatGPT for designing a room? I bought a house and can definitely use inspo lol
Same! My bedroom layout is not working for me anymore.
NOTES:
SET UP A FUCKING REMINDER SYSTEM.
2 MINUTE RULE OF IMMEDIACY
IF IT TAKES TWO MINUTES DO IT NOW. GOOD BALANCE OF SETTING UP TASK IN SYSTEM AND DOING IT RIGHT NOW.
CHAT GPT FOR STUPID SHIT A BOT CAN'T MESS UP.
notes:
utilitarian view of productivity, for what it allows for what it's not
I fucking hate autodelete.
set up system of reminders
two minute rule is good balance between putting stuff in system and doing it right now. dread is a theme. Time it takes to put task in system and execute vs time it takes to do right now 2 minitues good grok
ai for stupid shit a bot can't mess up on, no decision making.
Now a former subscriber - recommending AI given the environmental cost is obscene.
May I ask about the environmental cost? I never considered that tbh but I don’t want to stay negligent.
