These are going to be an important part of everyone's life, so it's worth spending the time to learn how to use them.

1. Pick a few, pay for premium and stick with it
I use ChatGPT and Grammarly.
2. Ask it to identify something from an image
3. Find some text like a zoning regulation and ask it to summarize it for you different degrees of sophistication
Instructed to explain it to you, like you were in middle school, then explain it to you, as if you are, and explain it to you, as if you are a professional field, or ask you to explain to you, as if you've come from another planet, or another count
4. Ask it for creative mashups
"I found a dog at a pound, and it weighs 80 pounds. It's a big dog. So what are some names for a big male dog that's tough but funny?"
Congratulations on your new buddy! How about naming him something like "Tank," "Hercules," "Moose," or "Bear"? They're all big, strong names with a touch of humor!
"great, add another cute name in front of "bear":
"Bear" is a great choice! If you want to add a twist, how about "KooBear," "Bearcules," or even "Honey Bear"? They keep the tough vibe but add a dash of cute and funny!

10. Instead of asking it to do the math for you, ask it to write small software scripts or excel formulas
11. Ask it to translate languages for you
