Great thoughts. I too came back from vacation this year to find that I wasn't nearly as interested in AI doing certain things for me (like writing) and much more interested in finding the areas it's properly good at.
At the moment I'm getting most value out of:
- Checking integrity of data through custom scripting
- Controlling my smart home stuff via quick commands
- Reconciling account software with my bank and uploaded / emails receipts
- Researching info across disparate sources
- Managing pipelines of work (eg sales cycles or content schedules) reminding me when I need to do something
- Parsing interesting articles / videos and pulling out the essentials
- Reworking text I've written to work across multiple social accounts
- Asking me great questions about whether I'm on track with what I said I wanted to do
- Pinging me when an email looks important so I don't have to continually check it.
- Coding on projects that I want to make rapid progress on for work (not tinkering)
This list is quite different to the one I'd have written a year ago - that would have mostly been about writing, information retrieval and coding.
The most obvious use cases are I think the least useful ones. Diffusion of AI will take time!
