Do you regularly use AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude?

👍 Yes (34%) – "I have started using ChatGPT instead of Google search for most everything. Wading through Google search results has gotten beyond frustrating. I get exact answers to exact questions from ChatGPT. When I use Google, I get a bunch of stuff that I have to wade through to try and determine what is "sponsored" and/or irrelevant."

• "There are so many stresses and pulls on our time as professionals and, although I will always agree that the human brain is superior in almost all capacities than any AI model, using AI for the simpler tasks helps free up my mind to focus on more important things that actually require my attention. I use AI models to give me ideas for team building activities for work, proof or start more detailed emails, or create an outline of what a meal plan for the week could look like. I always tweak anything it gives me, but it's an easier mental lift for AI to get it started rather than feeling like I have to recreate the wheel every time."

"AI is an amazing translator. I use it to translate to speak to clients and family members who speak a different language than me while I am still learning. In addition I seek out advice from ChatGPT for tough interview questions, as well as questions related to my job. I am in the medical field and it’s impossible to remember everything off the top of my head so sometimes I will use it to help jog my memory or confirm specific things."

👎 No (66%) – "I don't need AI models and they consume incredibly high amounts of energy so I feel like it is a better choice for everyone if I refrain from using these tools for entertainment or small tasks."

• "Results of searches using these tools are incomplete and lack context, and are often unreliable in my experience. Also I have concerns about how companies use the information I provide access to, for example on my mobile device, when I use their tools."

"I'd rather exercise my brain than follow the sheep getting the same answers to questions. I suppose that 'how' you think may influence whether AI may benefit you or not as it may get you over certain 'hurdles'; like taking shortcuts in a race that others miss."

• "It annoys the crap out of me when these AI things pop up. Meta wants to chat with me. Adobe wants to help me understand my documents. Gemini wants to interact with me. Really? I've come to understand as a card carrying introvert, that all of these AI things are intrusions into my private space.I prefer to explore the world with my own brain."

"They do not offer anything that I need, plus, I'm not supporting of their business model of earning money off the work of others."
