20 Ways to Transform Everyday Tasks with AI

Happy Wednesday EduCreator,

Do you remember the first time you used the internet? I was about 10 years old when I created my first email account with Juno. I was about 12 when me and my best friend dialed into AOL (I can remember the dial up sound so vividly) and joined a chat room for the first time. It was exhilarating, addictive, and led to some interactions with random strangers that now make me cringe.

Almost 30 years later, I discovered ChatGPT and it was like being a child all over again. I couldn’t believe that by typing a sentence or two, I could get a full essay, build a custom lesson plan, or translate text from any language!

When ChatGPT hit the market in November 2022, it wasn’t able to search the internet. Now, 2 and a half years later, it can do deep internet research, create videos with simple prompts, and even do automated tasks like send you reminders or daily meal plans.

My vision with the EduCreator Community is to help onboard people into this new world of AI and help “everyday people” like me and you leverage this amazing opportunity to be one of the first to learn and earn from this emerging technology.

Today our daily space is dedicated to practical ways to use AI in everyday life to transform mundane tasks. Cameron, one of our EduCreator Founders, will be our Spotlight Co-Host. He’s an incredible speaker and AI Artist. I hope you’ll join us!
