I use AI to help organize my thoughts for new lessons and activities. I always say please and thank you, so I am hopefully spared when it takes control.
Same. Plug in my standards, what I want to accomplish today, and the idea that I have for a lesson. With ADHD, I've got so many thoughts, ideas, plans running through my head, sometimes AI does a great job of organizing my thoughts and creating something good out of them.
Usually I take what AI spits out and make it more personalized.
I'm a programmer and it's a big help with things when I already know the answer but don't want to do the work. A quick example - I was importing data that had a weird date format that wasn't natively recognized. I asked chatgpt to write me a regular expression to convert it for me. I had to ask it to make a couple updates but it eventually gave me a perfect function in a minute or two. Would have taken me 15-30 minutes from scratch.
It is often wrong. If you use it as a fact checker you're going to get burned. But it has plenty of great use cases.

The GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio is insanely helpful when debugging or writing new code. Or just trying to write something cleaner or more efficient.
Semi-related to the original question, I recently started using an AI-based digital receptionist. (heyrosie.com) I thought I was getting a friendly voice that would take messages for myself and others, but I'm quickly finding it more useful. The app has the ability to create a FAQ so if callers have specific questions, it can answer them, but what I'm learning is that it's capable of much more.
For example, I had a caller that was inquiring about having some lighting installed. He was chatting with our AI about the project and described a light type and said he couldn't remember what they were called. The AI bot knew what he was describing and told him. Later when I spoke to the caller, he mentioned how helpful our receptionist was and had no idea he was talking to a computer.

ChatGPT made bugle logos in a matter of seconds. Could have saved our Athletic Department 10’s of thousands of dollars (or whatever stupid amount we paid) for that Walmart-ass bugle logo that was slapped on our helmets on 2017! 
I still cringe every second it’s shown on a national broadcast. So bad

Haven’t written an email in a year. Basically I just stream of consciousness into Gemini and it does it for me. I’m ADHD and organizing my thoughts into a professional communication used to be a major time suck. Now i don’t even think about.
I’ve also started doing light marketing for my company and AI is also very good at generating copy. Probably because marketing copy is pretty formulaic. AI lacks true human creativity but it can mimic all the general professional BS pretty well.

I'm getting a kick out of some people's disdain for it due to semantics.
I see it as a tool with a place. And just like a calculator, for instance, you can **** that up too if you don't know just enough math to use it properly.
Another use case... It's super helpful to create social media posts... Emojis and all ... For an organization I help with.

This ... I really loathe AI for its impacts on art and creativity, but as someone who is also neurodivergent and frequently suffers from analysis paralysis, LLMs have been a brilliant tool. Once I realized that I could use it to support my prefrontal cortex, I use it all the time for organizing my thoughts, making small decisions, and as a light support tool when reading online discussions (it points out logical fallacies REALLY well!)
