AI app boom

 This is exciting times ! Less than a month into my AI exploration foray, and I'm bombarded by endless AI tools – more than I care to look at. My current priority is my studies, so I have no time to explore the multitude of offerings suddenly appearing on my notifications. However, the best thing that has happened is to open my mind up to all the possibilities.

Everyone now has a friend at his/her fingertips. For all the content-creators out there, it's a field day. You can multiply your productivity ten-fold. For those who wield a pen – even as you say it's mightier than the sword – I've seen more than 10 tools that will make any author, blogger, journalist or even reviewer mighty pleased. For artists and creative practitioners, there's no shortage of tools beyond photoshop. For the curious and inquiring minds, it's never a better time to have endless conversations with a chatbot. For students, you now do not need teachers or tutors. For researchers, you have the equivalent of ten human assistants to help you sieve through the mountain of info out there. What more can I say ?

If you are a professional, the sky is the limit. But if you're a poor student like I am, you would have to be contented with the free tools and apps available. Even then, I am not complaining. I have already looked beyond ChatGPT. Bing chat is not yet available to me, and I am waiting very patiently for Google Bard. However, I have enough to occupy me for quite some time. I just hope those kind AI creators will not leave us poor souls out in the cold by starting to charge for the use of these nice AI assistants.

And for those of you still wondering what's all the hype, my question to you is : What are you waiting for ?
