Episode 36 AI in Our Homeschools and Homes: How We’re Actually Using It · Homeschooling and Life Unfiltered with Court & Jess

0:02
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to homeschooling and life unfiltered with Court and Jess, where Real Talk meets real life.
0:07
SPEAKER_00: Court and Jess are two friends, fellow moms, and business partners who live in different time zones and juggle homeschooling alongside motherhood and entrepreneurship.
0:15
SPEAKER_00: Jess is a mom of eight and Court is a mom of seven, and together they're raising 15 kids and navigating the wild, wonderful world of homeschooling, each in completely different ways.
0:25
SPEAKER_00: Every week we invite you to pull up a chair for honest conversations, practical tips, and uplifting encouragement.
0:31
SPEAKER_00: You'll hear from moms across the country who are homeschooling in a way that works best for their families.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: Whether you're a veteran homeschool mom just getting started or somewhere in between, this is your space to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
0:43
SPEAKER_00: Because no matter how different our paths may look, we are all in this together.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: Hello, welcome to homeschooling in Life Unfiltered with Court and Jess.
0:54
SPEAKER_00: Today we're talking AI, everything AI, how to use AI in your homeschool, how do you use it in your house, how do you use it however you use it, right?
1:02
SPEAKER_00: AI is a very big topic.
1:03
SPEAKER_00: I recently, and what stemmed this is I went to a homeschool conference in Texas, and I think there were eight or ten, I can't remember, a million classes like on AI.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: And I was shocked at how big it was in Texas and at this particular conference.
1:19
SPEAKER_00: I I had to go look at like my Arizona conference, those conference, and see like what is there was only one.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: And it was a homeschooling conference to be clear.
1:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
1:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, it was a homeschool conference.
1:28
SPEAKER_00: Sorry, it was the greater homeschool.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: The great conferences or I don't even know what it's called.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: That yeah, the GH GHC, great, great conferences or greater homeschool conferences.
1:40
SPEAKER_00: It was my first one I'd never been to.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: I had never been to one of those.
1:43
SPEAKER_00: Um, but it was I was shocked at how much AI it was just everywhere.
1:47
SPEAKER_00: So, anyways, we're gonna talk AI.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: I want to know what do you use?
1:50
SPEAKER_00: How do you use it?
1:51
SPEAKER_00: What do you do?
1:52
SPEAKER_00: Jess, you start.
1:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: So I I think like everyone or most people, I have a love-hate relationship with AI, right?
2:01
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't want to discredit the concerns out there about the dangers of AI.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Certainly they are incredibly real, they're on our minds all the time.
2:12
SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, all from the implications of the data centers to replacing jobs to the dangers morally, like that's on our plate.
2:21
SPEAKER_01: So just know that this specific podcast is more about just what how we are using it.
2:26
SPEAKER_01: Um, maybe in a later um episode, we'll get into kind of our concerns and things like that.
2:32
SPEAKER_01: But I would say, as like a pretext to this this podcast, is do your own research, make sure you understand the pros and the cons and the potential dangers.
2:43
SPEAKER_01: It's just like bringing internet into your home, right?
2:46
SPEAKER_01: There internet is a wonderful tool and can be great, uh, but it also comes with a lot of concerns as well.
2:53
SPEAKER_01: So, as parents, we need to be really carefully monitoring, especially how our children are using AI.
2:58
SPEAKER_01: So I just want to throw that out there before we start.
3:01
SPEAKER_01: Um, but I have been using AI for a couple of years now.
3:06
SPEAKER_01: Uh, and I use it more in my day-to-day management of my house than I do it specifically in my homeschool.
3:14
SPEAKER_01: And I think that it's mostly because um our homeschool, like what we use in our school is pretty set, right?
3:25
SPEAKER_01: Like I don't have to do a ton of creating and things like that for our homeschooling.
3:30
SPEAKER_01: Um, but I do use it, so I do use it for um brainstorming like a specific issue if a kiddo is struggling with a specific topic, or I'm trying to build a good schedule or routine or rhythm for uh our homeschool.
3:46
SPEAKER_01: I tried last night in vain to use it to create flashcards to go with our memory work, and it was awful.
3:53
SPEAKER_01: So that didn't work.
3:55
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
3:55
SPEAKER_01: So if you have a flashcard AI tool suggestion, I definitely want it.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: But I think one of the big things that is important to remember is that there are so many AI tools and they really are all tools in a toolkit.
4:08
SPEAKER_01: Not there's no one single AI that is the entire toolkit.
4:13
SPEAKER_01: And so part of the battle is learning which AI to use in which circumstance, right?
4:18
SPEAKER_01: So I love Chat GPT for brainstorming and proofreading and those kinds of things, um, mostly brainstorming.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: And I you I like Claude to actually create documents.
4:32
SPEAKER_01: So I put the here's exactly what I want it to say, make it look pretty in a printable flyer, right?
4:37
SPEAKER_01: Like that's how I use AI and Claude.
4:40
SPEAKER_01: And then like gamma is a really great PowerPoint uh tool that I use sometimes.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I haven't let my kids use gamma yet, and they've only dabbled in Chat GPT.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: It's so interesting.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: My teenage, my teenagers, they hate they hate AI.
4:57
SPEAKER_01: They think it's so dumb.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: Um, when I first started using it, I will never forget.
5:02
SPEAKER_01: Um my oldest two sons were kind of hard on me for using it.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, or I'm sorry, not my oldest two, my oldest son and my youngest son.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: Like, mom, I can't believe you would use AI.
5:15
SPEAKER_01: And I was using it to plan like our scripture, family scripture study and things like that, and just just for tools, for outlines and stuff.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: And they were so mad.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: It was shocking to me.
5:27
SPEAKER_01: It still is shocking.
5:28
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it's interesting how this new generation is viewing AI.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: And some right, some teenagers may love it.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: That's that's great.
5:37
SPEAKER_01: Um, but my my sons, who are now 19 and 17, uh, they, I mean, they've embraced it a tiny bit more as compared to two years ago, but they aren't really big AI people.
5:49
SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like a 50-50.
5:51
SPEAKER_00: You have like 50% of the kids that really like it and 50% that are like super anti-it.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: It gets super interesting.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: I haven't, I've yet to meet any that are anti-it, but there were a lot of people that talked about it at the conference.
6:01
SPEAKER_00: Like their kids were like, oh no, I don't want to do this or don't want to, like, we shouldn't be touching it or shouldn't be using it.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: So I have not personally experienced that, but I think it's super interesting.
6:11
SPEAKER_01: I I think it's super interesting too.
6:13
SPEAKER_01: I'm wondering if some of these kids are just nervous about what it because it has the biggest impact impact on their future, right?
6:20
SPEAKER_01: Like our older teens, like this is gonna impact them far more than even our current adult children and and in our generation.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: And so super interesting.
6:30
SPEAKER_01: Um, so but back to kind of how I use it for homeschooling, uh, specifically for homeschooling, I kind of mentioned a few things.
6:37
SPEAKER_01: I uh, like I said, failed in creating flashcards.
6:42
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I have had it, so we use like a pretty good spine for history.
6:46
SPEAKER_01: I think I've talked about that before with classical conversations.
6:49
SPEAKER_01: And so I've used it to help suggest uh kind of how to how to pull in different history pieces, like a certain documentaries or books or things like that, into our homeschooling days as they align with our spine.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: Does that make sense?
7:06
SPEAKER_01: So if we're studying the civil war, I'll say, hey, give me the top three kid-friendly documentaries according to these values, right?
7:13
SPEAKER_01: Because I put my values into, hey, we're a ex-family political leaning, we are an ex-family religious um view, et cetera, into it and then ask it to pull resources that align with those things.
7:26
SPEAKER_01: And I always double check it because Chat GPT is a little bit notorious for just making stuff up, right?
7:31
SPEAKER_01: Like, here's a great resource, and it doesn't exist.
7:34
SPEAKER_01: Um, and so you it's getting better, but you always have to double check it.
7:38
SPEAKER_01: Um, the other way I would say that I probably use Chat GPT the most is um, and this is probably not a problem for Courtney because she can speed read.
7:48
SPEAKER_01: I cannot.
7:50
SPEAKER_01: Um my kids outread me all day long.
7:53
SPEAKER_01: They read circles around me.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: And so I can't read every book that my kids read.
7:58
SPEAKER_01: Uh, and so a lot of so I have a thread going where it knows my values, it knows my concerns.
8:04
SPEAKER_01: Um, I want to know all the potential flags.
8:06
SPEAKER_01: And I will be out, uh I just did this.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: We were out at a books, where were you?
8:11
SPEAKER_01: Barnes Noble, I think.
8:12
SPEAKER_01: Snapped a picture and said, Hey, is this gonna be in line with what I would want for a book for my kiddos?
8:17
SPEAKER_01: And one of them it was a yes, and the other one was a huge absolutely not.
8:21
SPEAKER_01: That's such a good idea.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's so good.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: But you write your the the output you get from it is only as good as what you feed into it.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: So I have this thread that I've been we're and in chat, you don't have to keep it in one thread, but I've trained it to pull out the things I wouldn't like.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's interesting.
8:39
SPEAKER_00: I would have to try that with Grady because I mean he's my first boy, right?
8:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah he listens to books like nobody's business.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: He outlistens me.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: And so I can't keep up with him, but he also likes books that I don't want to read.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: Like he likes the fantasy and the sci-fi and the that I'm just like, ooh, I don't want to, I don't want to read that first.
8:57
SPEAKER_00: And so I've I've kind of like been I've been lucky enough that I have friends that have boys that I've been able to like feed off and ask questions from, but like we're gonna out we're running out of things.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: Luckily, he does like to read things over again, so that's super helpful to me.
9:09
SPEAKER_00: But that's such a good idea.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's great.
9:12
SPEAKER_01: Um, the other thing I've done a little bit, not a ton, is um ask like if they're reading a specific book for CC that I haven't classical conversations I haven't read or haven't read in a while, then and I want to make sure that they're comprehending it and doing the work they're supposed to be doing.
9:28
SPEAKER_01: I might say, Hey, they read the last three chapters, give me a couple comprehension questions so that I can meaningfully check in and not just say, Did you, you know, what did you read?
9:37
SPEAKER_01: Um, but make sure that they're retaining it, but also for accountability as well, right?
9:41
SPEAKER_01: Because kids are kids.
9:43
SPEAKER_01: And um, so let me think how else I've used it.
9:47
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then to create different workbook pages here and there, not a ton of that.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: Um, but those are, I think those are the main and then looking for great field trips.
10:01
SPEAKER_01: I've used it a ton for that.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: Uh, it's really good at planning good field trips and also pre-field trip activities, right?
10:09
SPEAKER_01: So like give me a worksheet that would go along with this field trip to help us prepare and then also to help us debrief afterwards.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: So both of those things I've done.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: Um, I think though that's kind of the extent of it for me.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: Um and then the way that I've trained my kids to use it for homeschooling, again, it's super limited.
10:33
SPEAKER_01: They do not get a lot, they don't ever, ever get to just go on and talk to chat, right?
10:38
SPEAKER_01: Like I see huge problems with that for me personally.
10:42
SPEAKER_01: I just don't believe that that is a positive thing.
10:44
SPEAKER_01: Um aimlessly, right?
10:47
SPEAKER_01: Like if you want it to chat with ChatGPT, like, hey, pretend you're George Washington and let's have a conversation.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna interview George Washington, great, but don't go on there and like have this life discussion with Chat GPT, like that's where I draw a hard line.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh so they can write a paper and then they can put it into chat and say, um, ask me, give me prompts or questions to help me fill in any gaps you might see.
11:14
SPEAKER_01: So they're not allowed to say, like, give me a paragraph to cover anything I've missed, but they can say, give me feedback on this essay and tell me how ask me questions to help me improve, things like that.
11:26
SPEAKER_01: Um Yeah, so that's and there we don't do any research on chat as far as like a topic.
11:35
SPEAKER_01: We don't use it as an encyclopedia for school.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: They have to go find real books.
11:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh sometimes I've used it to get a resource list and then seek out the list, but that's really the extent of it.
11:46
SPEAKER_01: So let me bounce it back to you for homeschool specific, and then maybe we can chat through what we do at home.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: Um, so super interesting.
11:53
SPEAKER_00: So one of the things that they okay, well, first, hold on, first.
11:56
SPEAKER_00: When you first said this, you wanted to do an AI thing, and I was like, I don't use it, like we don't use AI at all.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: But then I kind of went and thought about it.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: And you know, any adaptive curriculum that you're using at home, it uses AI.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: So like IXL, which we've used for like diagnostic testing, or um, we use teaching textbooks that's self-graded, right?
12:13
SPEAKER_00: That's grading, that's all AI that I hadn't really thought about.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Like in my brain, like AI is only chat or you know, Claude.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: And so I think some of us are using it and not even like realizing we're using it.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: So that was one of my first thoughts to that.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: That's super true.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like anything that we're using curriculum-wise that's online almost all has AI built into it somehow.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: Um, so that was just one to just kind of like open up your mind, like, oh, AI's because sometimes we're like, oh, AI is awful, but like we're using it already and we don't realize it, like it's not that bad, right?
12:43
SPEAKER_00: For that part.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: Um, one of the things that that which I haven't done, but I actually have a son that struggles with this, and so I think it actually would be super helpful, is okay, so you know when you have like IEW language arts in the back, there's always like sample essays, like that you can go read before you start.
12:59
SPEAKER_00: And so one of the suggestions was to if your kids writing an essay and they're kind of stuck, have it create a sample essay, like for them to read and be like, oh, okay, not as hard as it looks, and then you go and you do your own, like you're just reading like a sample.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Um, so I thought about that.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh, like that would be super useful for my son who doesn't like sometimes he just can't get his head around like what he needs to do or like how to do it.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: Um okay, so I'm gonna go through the things.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Well, no, first I'll talk about how I use it at home.
13:29
SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say I have all these like notes for my thing that I want to share because they're so good.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: But um, I don't use it a lot.
13:35
SPEAKER_00: I really don't.
13:36
SPEAKER_00: Most of the time I use it for um, we do a book club study, like um, like we meet with groups of kids in different ages, and so we're all in charge, you know, once a month of a different age.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: And so it's a book, and so I'll have it come up with activities to do in a group for a book.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: So it created like a scavenger hunt when we did one, and it created um, you know, some some fun games or whatever it is, like some kind of big group activity that we can do.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: So I've used it a lot for that because it's super, I mean, it's it's like instead of scouring Pinterest and looking for ideas, which I could do, like it kind of does it a little faster for me.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: Um, so I love that idea.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: I love um using it for co-op also for the same reason.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: Like, like we're doing, you know, so we're studying, you know, trees and I'm teaching four and five-year-olds, what are some picture books that would be good and what are some group activities?
14:23
SPEAKER_00: And you know what I mean?
14:24
SPEAKER_00: Like using it as kind of a sounding off point for things like that.
14:27
SPEAKER_00: I found it super, super helpful.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: So it's I don't use it really like in my day-to-day, although I've been now that I've been talking about AI, of course, my phone is like AI, all these things, like on Instagram and things like that.
14:40
SPEAKER_00: And um, there was a couple people on there that were talking about using it for like homeschool planning and like helping it plan their loop schedules and things like that.
14:48
SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh, I might just try that and just put it in and be like, hey, this is what I want to do, and I want to do this, you know what I mean?
14:52
SPEAKER_00: And then I don't have to think about it, right?
14:54
SPEAKER_00: It kind of helps take the brain fatigue, right?
14:57
SPEAKER_00: Out of our decision fatigue out of like trying to figure it out.
15:00
SPEAKER_00: So I have a homeschool planning day coming up this weekend, and so I'm gonna spend some time with it using it for that.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: My kids don't use it a ton.
15:07
SPEAKER_00: Macy, absolutely her favorite hobby, probably is what I would call it, is taking pictures that we've um taken, and she has this chat turn it into a coloring page, and then she'll draw it.
15:18
SPEAKER_00: So, like then she'll use her like light box and draw it and then color it.
15:22
SPEAKER_00: Um, so that's one of like I think that's the only thing she's ever used it for, and it's super fun.
15:27
SPEAKER_00: Um, she loves it, she'll sit and draw for hours like that, Trace.
15:30
SPEAKER_00: Really, it's Tracy, but she loves it and it's fun.
15:32
SPEAKER_00: She gives them to the grandparents for like we just my mom's birthdays are so she made her a picture of her and my dad, and she was like, wait, how does she do that?
15:39
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, it's not as cool as it sounds, but it was fun and she loves it.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: So that's a good pastime for her.
15:44
SPEAKER_00: Um, Grady is into like the technical and the building things, and so sometimes he's like, I can't figure this out, or like, how to fix a printer, and he'll go into he'll like chat GGP it and then figure it out and then go do it for me.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: So we've used it for that as kind of a um, you know, like how do you do something and you can't figure it out, especially with tech things.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: There's like I have a printer that's not working right now.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: He's like, Oh, we just need to sit down with chat mom and we can figure it out.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Okay.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: I love that.
16:08
SPEAKER_01: I just fixed my electric stand-up desk last night using chat.
16:12
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
16:13
SPEAKER_01: And talked me through it.
16:14
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and things like that.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: And so things with my phone, or you know, I mean, we do problem solve sometimes.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: I know that like my daughter, who's my kids' tutor, um, who comes over and helps, like, if she is she's getting to where Grady has math that like she's like, I don't remember how I did that.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: That was a long time ago.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: And so she'll chat GTP, like tell me how to do this.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: So then she can look at it and go, Oh, okay.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: And then I she can explain it to him.
16:34
SPEAKER_00: So she uses it as kind of a a memory jog sometimes.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: Um that's I mean, that's really the extent of it with our actual homeschool.
16:43
SPEAKER_00: Like, I really haven't done a ton with it.
16:45
SPEAKER_00: There's so many neat things I've seen, so many people do different things that I'm like, oh, I should try that.
16:49
SPEAKER_00: Like, why not?
16:50
SPEAKER_00: I don't think it's not my default though.
16:52
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't like I still Google things, like I don't think you got it.
16:56
SPEAKER_00: I you know what I mean?
16:57
SPEAKER_00: It's just like it's kind of uh something you retrain.
16:59
SPEAKER_00: Okay, but some of the things that I loved that I want to share that they kind of shared like what you could use it for.
17:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:04
SPEAKER_01: I was just holding on, I was gonna ask you, are you using um the AI mode on Google at all?
17:09
SPEAKER_01: Have you no it's actually really good?
17:12
SPEAKER_01: Oh so I often when I'm when I want to Google something now, I'm even getting, like I said, brainstorming with chat, but just like a more of a Google search.
17:22
SPEAKER_01: I'm doing with Google AI mode.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: It's really good.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: You should try it.
17:25
SPEAKER_01: I should try.
17:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've never tried it.
17:27
SPEAKER_00: Um okay, so how can it so it can help it can find real world examples illustrating an idea?
17:32
SPEAKER_00: So it can explain phrases.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: So this one I thought was really good.
17:35
SPEAKER_00: It can explain phrases from classic literature or scriptures that you don't understand.
17:39
SPEAKER_00: You can put it in there and be like, Yeah to me, like I'm five.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: Like it gives it to me.
17:43
SPEAKER_00: And so that actually like is a super great reference.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh, I should do that tonight.
17:48
SPEAKER_00: Because sometimes I read them and I was like, What the heck?
17:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I have no idea what it's trying to tell us.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: So I thought that was super like such a great research.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: And I actually want to teach my kids that one because sometimes they'll come, or even um, yeah, no, just like kind of along those lines.
18:03
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't understand it, like that doesn't make any sense to me, right?
18:06
SPEAKER_00: Um I do use it for facts for researching, like for especially for starting off points, like if they're doing a report on you know, something, something, but it's give me the resource or give me the some, you know, give me the resources, but give me the resources, like where did you find it?
18:22
SPEAKER_00: And then they have to go to that place to look for it, not just like take it for word, because so many of the stuff like I put on here somewhere is it will give you this great quote, but it's not real.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: Like no one really ever said that, and the person they said didn't say it, you know what I mean?
18:38
SPEAKER_00: So always go look, right?
18:40
SPEAKER_00: Because sometimes it'll give you these.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh, that's so profound, that's great, but it's not real, like no one ever said that, or or they or it took something that someone said and then they like changed it to be this, right?
18:51
SPEAKER_00: Like they kind of like manipulated it.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: So just I mean, I think that's one of the things we have to teach our kids.
18:57
SPEAKER_00: So that's why I think it's good for them to like go on and like, let's do some research, let's look.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: Like, hey, look, oh wait, that's actually not real.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: Like, this is actually the information, and it sent you to the reference, it has the right information, it just translates it oddly and makes no sense, right?
19:11
SPEAKER_00: So for sure.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: And oh, sorry, two things really quick.
19:16
SPEAKER_01: I think it's helpful when you ask it to cite the re cite the sources, so then it gives you a snap list.
19:24
SPEAKER_01: But okay, so I heard this and I don't know if it's true, so I might get some hate for it, but I think it is true because I have recognized in my own chat.
19:32
SPEAKER_01: I read somewhere um that chats will purposely get really obvious things wrong, so that you say, No, the Civil War, that you know, or that um, like, no, George Washington was not the president or was not the uh king of England, like something pretty obvious, but not not always as crazy obvious as that, so that it can say back to you, oh, you're so smart, great catch.
19:59
SPEAKER_01: That is amazing.
20:00
SPEAKER_01: I am so sorry that I missed that.
20:02
SPEAKER_01: You are so smart.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's funny.
20:04
SPEAKER_01: And when I heard when I read this, it was about the time that I started noticing that from chat too.
20:10
SPEAKER_01: So, like you, it is a little crazy.
20:12
SPEAKER_01: You definitely really eyes wide open with chat, but sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, it just made me think of that.
20:17
SPEAKER_00: Um, some of the other things it said is it could take you can put a kid's paper in it and be like, hey, ask for feedback, right?
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Or you can use it as their, you know, like, hey, give me some points that they could trade.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: Or I'm looking for only this particular thing in here, like, where is it, or something along those lines.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: Same with like grading math.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: Like, if you're using paper, pencil math and you want it to like you can put in your kid's paper and be like, hey, can you look at this or whatever?
20:41
SPEAKER_00: Um we already talked about the essay thing.
20:44
SPEAKER_00: I think that is absolutely fantastic way to use it.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: Um, some of the other ways they talked about was you can use it a voice, which I have never done it with a voice chat, like you can voice chat with chat HP.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: I've never done it.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: All the time.
20:56
SPEAKER_00: Oh, and have it like be and like ask you quite like you can do it so that you're not having to type it out, which I think would actually be helpful for my kids sometimes, right?
21:03
SPEAKER_00: Just so that like they don't have to, because their brain works faster than the fingers, right?
21:08
SPEAKER_01: Especially when they're learning to type, just to help them something's up with chat's voice thing right now, though.
21:14
SPEAKER_01: Like it's really it's something like I used to use it all the time, and it's so interesting because you could be like, Can you be a little bit more cheerful when we talk?
21:22
SPEAKER_01: And it was that to you?
21:24
SPEAKER_01: No, I said that too.
21:25
SPEAKER_01: Oh can you be a little bit more cheerful because it was so doom and gloom, and then it like changes its voice.
21:30
SPEAKER_01: But anyways, I just used it again yesterday, the chat feature, and I had to use the chat feature, I don't know, maybe a month, and something has changed, like it's it's way slowed down, not as fast.
21:45
SPEAKER_01: And I've heard that it kind of ebbs and flows like that as the usage goes, but so it's interesting.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: But it is the voice feature is actually really great.
21:54
SPEAKER_00: The other thing that I use it for, which I mean I guess is for homeschool.
21:57
SPEAKER_00: Is so we in Arizona have the um What do you call it?
22:01
SPEAKER_00: ESA.
22:01
SPEAKER_00: I can't think of it.
22:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
22:03
SPEAKER_00: What is it called?
22:04
SPEAKER_00: It's educational savings account, right?
22:06
SPEAKER_00: And so one of the requirements is anything you purchase has to you have to show the educational value of it.
22:11
SPEAKER_00: So which means you have to write a curriculum for it.
22:13
SPEAKER_00: And so I use AI for that a lot when I'm like, hey, these are the books that I want that we're purchasing or reading.
22:19
SPEAKER_00: Can you create me a curriculum using, you know, the book whispers 40 book reading system?
22:25
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
22:25
SPEAKER_00: And it will do it.
22:26
SPEAKER_00: Um, or like, hey, can you create me a curriculum, an engineering curriculum for this Lego set?
22:31
SPEAKER_00: Or something along those lines.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: Um, so that's super helpful.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: Like that makes your brain, I mean, that that has been a lifesaver because it is a lot of work to do all of those things.
22:40
SPEAKER_01: That is awesome.
22:41
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
22:42
SPEAKER_00: I think that's probably my most used resource for it for home from school.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: How do you use it for your house?
22:49
SPEAKER_00: You just used something the other day that you told me about that I was like, oh my gosh, that was awesome and I did.
22:54
SPEAKER_00: So I don't remember.
22:55
SPEAKER_00: The fitness thing.
22:56
SPEAKER_00: Um, what's that?
22:57
SPEAKER_00: Your fitness thing.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
22:59
SPEAKER_01: So I I've been using it for fitness and meals really consistently now for probably maybe like 16 weeks, 16 to 20 weeks.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: Um, and I have never I have never calorie counted in my entire life until I had a baby after 40, and now it's a must.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: And so um you can literally just take and they have apps that do this too for cost, or you can just do it in chat.
23:32
SPEAKER_01: You can just keep a running food log of it helps you decide, even down to like the you know, how much protein you need and calories and all the things for your fitness goals.
23:41
SPEAKER_01: You put all your fitness goals in, your current weight, like um I mean, so many metrics in there.
23:47
SPEAKER_01: Women can put like their cycle in there, all so many things to help you develop a fitness plan to meet your goals, a fitness and nutrition plan.
23:57
SPEAKER_01: So um I find it much easier just to have kind of the same things on repeat for meals when I'm dieting, I guess, or being I hate the word dieting because it's not, I'm not depriving myself at all.
24:10
SPEAKER_01: I'm just eating differently, right?
24:12
SPEAKER_01: Um, and so it reads labels for me too.
24:16
SPEAKER_01: So if I'm gonna have a cup of cottage cheese, like now it's trained to know which cottage cheese I eat.
24:21
SPEAKER_01: And then I'll just uh put in what I'm having and I'll calculate my calories or like a day ahead of time.
24:28
SPEAKER_01: I guess my daughter's birthday on Saturday or on Thursday.
24:30
SPEAKER_01: And so I'll say, Hey, I'm gonna have a piece of cake on Thursday.
24:34
SPEAKER_01: Can you help me adjust my meals to accommodate a rather large piece of chocolate cake on Thursday?
24:40
SPEAKER_01: And so um, so that is uh just a really great way to use it.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: If I'm traveling, which is often, uh I can say, Hey, is there a restaurant nearby that would still help me keep within stay within my goals?
24:54
SPEAKER_01: What should I order?
24:56
SPEAKER_01: Um, I can take a picture of a menu and put it in there.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh, if like lately I've had these some very specific muscle cramping, and uh I will say, like, here's what's going on, give me some stretches or some resources to help target that specific thing that's happening.
25:14
SPEAKER_01: Or um I'll say, Hey, I had an energy crash today at four o'clock, and it will say, Well, yeah, you didn't get enough protein in yet today, or you didn't get enough sleep last night, so you can just feed it all of those metrics.
25:28
SPEAKER_01: And so that is a number one way that I use it.
25:33
SPEAKER_00: That's so interesting.
25:34
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I don't use it to that extent, but I did put in the other day that I was like, hey, this is my age and this is what's going on.
25:40
SPEAKER_00: Can you help me like be my health coach?
25:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
25:42
SPEAKER_00: And tell me like this is what and this is what I'm doing now.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: Like, because I was already doing a bunch of good things, right?
25:47
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
25:48
SPEAKER_00: Um, and I was like, I have a subscription to get healthy you TV.
25:51
SPEAKER_00: If you haven't tried that, ladies, everyone needs to try it.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: It's like a dollar spectrum.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: What's it called here?
25:54
SPEAKER_00: It's the one I told you about that when we were in Chicago.
25:57
SPEAKER_00: It's like G H U T V.
25:59
SPEAKER_00: So get Healthy U T V.
26:01
SPEAKER_00: Got it.
26:02
SPEAKER_00: Anyways, it's fantastic.
26:03
SPEAKER_00: But I said, like, hey, I have a gold membership to this, and can you use it to help me create uh, you know, I want to do strength training because I'm old.
26:11
SPEAKER_00: I need to work on my strength training and I want to get this as my step goal, and you know what I mean?
26:14
SPEAKER_00: It was and it laid me out a whole plan.
26:16
SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh, ooh, because it takes the decision fatigue out of it.
26:19
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm so about like I just want to get up and do whatever it tells me to do.
26:22
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't want to have to think about what I need to do.
26:25
SPEAKER_00: And so it was super awesome.
26:26
SPEAKER_00: I hadn't really thought about for.
26:28
SPEAKER_00: And I asked like, hey, how much protein should I be eating?
26:30
SPEAKER_00: And so I set a protein goal.
26:31
SPEAKER_00: And, anyways, I didn't think to like do all the things that you're doing, and so I was like, huh.
26:36
SPEAKER_01: It's phenomenal.
26:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
26:38
SPEAKER_01: Um, the other biggest way, so we have a lot of health challenges in our family.
26:43
SPEAKER_01: We have uh um just some very, very specific health needs for our some of our kiddos and uh myself, and so I use it um very frequently to help me come up, like I'll put test results in.
26:55
SPEAKER_01: It does not replace a doctor.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: So, like, do not replace a doctor is not what I'm telling you.
27:00
SPEAKER_01: But what it can do is you put your test results in, right?
27:04
SPEAKER_01: Or your symptoms, it helps you prepare for a better doctor's appointment, right?
27:09
SPEAKER_01: How many times have we all gone to the doctor and then we left and been like, oh, should have asked this, or oh, I didn't even think to ask that, right?
27:16
SPEAKER_01: Um and so I've always been really good about making a list of questions ahead of time.
27:21
SPEAKER_01: But one of the things, and I just keep them in my phone, but one of the things chat has done for me is to help me think of really good questions to ask.
27:28
SPEAKER_01: And so it just changes the the level of conversation with the doctor, right?
27:34
SPEAKER_01: And so I'm asking some hard questions and I'm um, you know, I'm I'm turning the I'm kind of turning it into an opportunity to just have a really a much more in-depth discussion so that I can walk away feeling like I have a really good handle on what's happening.
27:51
SPEAKER_01: And then also you have a record.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: So anytime, so like my one kiddo um that has a lot of high health concerns, I will track her seizures in there.
28:00
SPEAKER_01: So then we go to the doctor, I'll say, Hey, give me a list with dates of all of the seizures that she's had since we've been to the doctor last.
28:06
SPEAKER_01: And then it just spits it all out.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then it'll give you like a little, like, oh, this one was a big one, or this one was a little one, this is what her blood pressure was doing, because I feed that into Chat GPT.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: Now, are there privacy concerns with that?
28:19
SPEAKER_01: For sure.
28:20
SPEAKER_01: You have to weigh the risks and benefits.
28:22
SPEAKER_01: For me, getting more accurate, providing more a better picture of my child's health to the doctor with this tool is more important to me than if that leaked and everybody in the world saw her log of seizures, right?
28:38
SPEAKER_01: Um, I and and she knows that I use it as well.
28:42
SPEAKER_01: Um, and just helps me to take her better care of her in the moment.
28:45
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I do also recommend that you never have a chat GBT unless you have a lock code on your phone, right?
28:51
SPEAKER_01: So if your phone was, if someone got into your phone, they wouldn't have access to all of the things that you're discussing in chat.
28:57
SPEAKER_01: So it's super important for me that I have a lock on my phone all the time, a lock screen, password.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: Um so uh, and and even just for normal kids who don't have any health things.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: So, like if I, my little 18-month-old, if she's having trouble like her tummy or constipation or anything like that, then I'll say, like, hey, she's super constipated.
29:22
SPEAKER_01: This is what I have on hand.
29:23
SPEAKER_01: What can I feed her to kind of help get things moving?
29:26
SPEAKER_01: Um, like it actually taught me after eight kids, it taught me how to make stewed pears, which like works better than even prunes.
29:32
SPEAKER_01: And it helped me pick out like the exact kind of pears to choose from the store and how to cook them and get things moving for her little tummy.
29:41
SPEAKER_01: And so you can use it for all kinds of things.
29:44
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I also use it in baking.
29:46
SPEAKER_01: I just made, have you ever had panic cookins?
29:49
SPEAKER_01: No, they're like they're like a type of, I think, I think it's a Dutch pancake, but I could be wrong on the country, but I think so.
29:58
SPEAKER_00: Like a puff pancake, like a Dutch baby?
30:00
SPEAKER_01: It's very similar to a Dutch baby, it's slightly different, but very super similar.
30:05
SPEAKER_01: And I actually had it um make a copycat recipe from me for me from a restaurant that I love, and they turned out amazing.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: And uh, so sometimes I get the recipe straight from them.
30:18
SPEAKER_01: Other times I'm short in ingredient, right?
30:20
SPEAKER_01: Like, oh, it calls for three eggs and I only have two.
30:23
SPEAKER_01: What can I do?
30:24
SPEAKER_01: And I put a picture of the recipe in, and it's like, oh, no problem.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: Add a little extra of that, or cut this down a little bit to accommodate the you know, the one less egg.
30:33
SPEAKER_01: So that's fantastic.
30:35
SPEAKER_00: You use AI a lot, like it's like I do not use it that much.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't think about it.
30:39
SPEAKER_00: Like, I mean, as you're saying it, I was like, oh, why don't I do that?
30:42
SPEAKER_01: So smart.
30:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:43
SPEAKER_01: No, I use it a lot in my home.
30:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then um, let's see, what other ways do I use it?
30:49
SPEAKER_01: Uh, if like my so we do have a son who is in training to be a mechanic, and so I don't do this as much anymore because he's actually like shaping up to be a brilliant mechanic.
31:00
SPEAKER_01: It's amazing.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: Um, but before I'd get like, oh, here's a picture of this warning that's randomly on my dash or my vehicle, I don't know what it means.
31:07
SPEAKER_01: Right back in the day, I'd pull out the the book and I'd well first find the book and then pull it out and page through it, and it'll just be like, oh, it it was the make and the model of the car.
31:17
SPEAKER_01: It means this, no problem.
31:19
SPEAKER_01: Or it means this.
31:20
SPEAKER_01: You need to go to a mechanic right now.
31:22
SPEAKER_01: And so use it for that, or if like your car is even just making a weird noise.
31:27
SPEAKER_02: That's so interesting.
31:28
SPEAKER_01: Um, so use it a lot of problem solving, like you talked about, like if like my husband's smoker wasn't working well and he was kind of problem solving true with with uh AI about how to fix it or what the problem might be.
31:42
SPEAKER_01: Um I feel like I should go look at it and see what it had me do or what I've done with it.
31:47
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
31:48
SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh, that's a really good idea.
31:50
SPEAKER_00: Like just scrolling back through.
31:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I use it a lot for work.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: I will own that.
31:54
SPEAKER_00: Like I use it a lot for work and just like helping come up with interview questions or um, you know, helping a job just like when you're creating things, just it's such a good like brainstorming person.
32:05
SPEAKER_00: Like I use it as a personal brainstormer.
32:07
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, hey, help me brainstorm because then it just makes, oh yeah, I think that.
32:09
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, think just like these do the same thing.
32:11
SPEAKER_00: Whenever you're talking to somebody and you're able to like feed off it, it whatever they say reminds you of something like, oh yeah, this and then this, you know what I mean?
32:19
SPEAKER_00: Like I love, yeah.
32:20
SPEAKER_00: I miss that in the day-to-day a lot of just because you know, we're all virtual and everyone's away.
32:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we work from home.
32:28
SPEAKER_01: The other place that I use it a ton is with home.
32:31
SPEAKER_01: So I just moved offices and I'm like, I took pictures of my wall and like, uh, these are the paintings that I have that I want to put up.
32:38
SPEAKER_01: Can you help me figure out how they should look?
32:40
SPEAKER_01: And it literally designed my wall.
32:42
SPEAKER_01: And um, my husband just said he wanted to put a two-story deck on the back of the house, and our house is very unique.
32:48
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, I just I cannot, I can't like I'm I love home projects, right?
32:53
SPEAKER_01: Anybody who knows me knows that I my favorite thing is for my and my husband is super handy, so he does almost all of it.
33:00
SPEAKER_01: So there's not many things aside from like, you know, God and my children and my family that I love more than like my husband too busy with a house project, and he loves it too.
33:12
SPEAKER_01: We thrive, we we do it together.
33:13
SPEAKER_01: And um, and by together I mean I give directions from the sidelines while creating, you know, a lemonade while he is working hard.
33:21
SPEAKER_01: Um, but I just could not visualize this deck he was talking about.
33:25
SPEAKER_01: And so finally I just went outside and took three pictures of the back of my house, and I was like, this is what my husband wants to do.
33:30
SPEAKER_01: What should what is it gonna look like?
33:32
SPEAKER_01: Can you show me?
33:33
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, oh, that's fantastic.
33:36
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
33:37
SPEAKER_01: So like I finally was able to catch his vision because I just couldn't picture it in my head.
33:42
SPEAKER_01: So um that's one way.
33:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, we use it a lot for finances as well.
33:48
SPEAKER_01: So like I'll put in things like, um, hey, I want to take this trip.
33:54
SPEAKER_01: And so can you kind of help me um create a budget for it and what that might look like and how I would have to save and just that kind of stuff too.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: Or if there's something weird we're trying to figure out in a budget, I will brainstorm it and I've trained trained it to you know have a philosophy that's in line with what we believe with money and things like that.
34:13
SPEAKER_01: Okay, really fast.
34:14
SPEAKER_00: What you just said reminds using we've used it for planning vacations.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: We're going someplace new that we've never been, help me create a three-day itinerary, and these are the things we want to make sure we hit, and it is fantastic.
34:26
SPEAKER_00: We even saw when I we were at Magic Mountain, we went on a Magic Mountain trip just last two months ago, and the people behind us in line had created a chat GGP like how to ride all the rides and like what to do in what order.
34:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
34:37
SPEAKER_00: That is so funny.
34:38
SPEAKER_00: Like, I had never thought of that, but I mean, there are really good ideas, yeah.
34:41
SPEAKER_00: There's really just endless possibilities.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: So if you think it and you want to know, like you're like, hmm, something I have to do, why not try it?
34:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like try it in chat first.
34:48
SPEAKER_00: You can always say no, like I'm gonna do it on my own, but it's such a good brainstorm.
34:53
SPEAKER_01: It is.
34:53
SPEAKER_01: We um we're taking, we're hoping to take this 12-month road trip or nine-month road trip uh with our RV, and and all of our planning has happened in within AI as well.
35:04
SPEAKER_01: Um let's see.
35:07
SPEAKER_01: I have oh, like just something as silly as I have one here, tree identification.
35:13
SPEAKER_01: I saw a tree that I loved and I want one like it someday.
35:16
SPEAKER_01: And so, hey, what tree is this?
35:18
SPEAKER_01: It was a um mulberry tree.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: And so that's what it was.
35:24
SPEAKER_01: Um, I use it to plan my garden.
35:26
SPEAKER_01: So this is what zone we live in, these are the kinds of vegetables that we eat.
35:30
SPEAKER_01: Tell me kind of how to map it out.
35:33
SPEAKER_01: Um, I did not plan a garden this year, but we have a little tiny, tiny little garden by our fairy garden.
35:40
SPEAKER_01: Um, so like I planted something that a couple things that keep cats out because we have barn cats.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, I don't want the cats digging around in this part of the in this garden.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: Um I do it like we just got ducks.
35:52
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I told you that.
35:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah so we just got ducks and we've never had ducks.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: So I've used it to help me help us to know how to take good care of our ducks.
36:02
SPEAKER_01: Um so yeah, oh, and here's another really good one.
36:08
SPEAKER_01: For anybody who has kids who are navigating like the really crazy world of college apartment rentals, it's insane, right?
36:18
SPEAKER_01: Like there's a thing called homeless week in Provo, Utah, where if you're switching apartments, all the apartments release kids on this date, you have to be out by this date, and you can't be in till like a week later.
36:32
SPEAKER_01: So there's a whole week and I get why they do it, right?
36:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying it's bad.
36:35
SPEAKER_01: Anyways, but there's this whole week where all these kids don't have anywhere to stay, and you can like choose an early move in, but then it's extra.
36:40
SPEAKER_01: So, anyways, it was really confusing.
36:43
SPEAKER_01: This um all the uh lease was really confusing.
36:46
SPEAKER_01: So I put it into chat with my daughter, and we because you can share your chat with somebody so you can be working on it with two people, and so we worked through understanding our questions on the lease.
36:57
SPEAKER_01: Now, could she have just picked up the phone and called them and worked through it with them for sure and actually told her to do that to confirm what we found out?
37:04
SPEAKER_01: Um, so that was really helpful.
37:06
SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, I mean, we've we have um used it to figure out what's HSA eligible.
37:17
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm looking at a bunch of things here.
37:20
SPEAKER_01: Um all kinds of things.
37:23
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we have used it for so many things.
37:26
SPEAKER_01: Uh, our son, like I said, our son is in training to be a mechanic, and he flew out to Utah for a camp.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: And while he was there, I wanted him to change to change my daughter's breaks, which he was super willing to do.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: But we had to figure out what tools he needed while he was there.
37:43
SPEAKER_01: And he gave me a list.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: And because we had one day to do it, and he was renting a bay, we had one day.
37:51
SPEAKER_01: I put his list into Chat GPT along with the car model, and I'm like, is there anything that he's missing on his list?
37:56
SPEAKER_01: Just to be super sure.
37:58
SPEAKER_01: And he he nailed it, he didn't have anything missing, but it was just a like a reassurance thing for me.
38:04
SPEAKER_01: Um, it's really your first default.
38:06
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's kind of what I do it for so many things.
38:11
SPEAKER_01: It saves me so much time.
38:14
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then I sometimes chat GPT gets really wordy and I just don't have time.
38:20
SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, I don't want any explanation, I just want numbers.
38:23
SPEAKER_01: Or I don't want any ex I want one sentence explanations right now.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: Like you have to be really specific if it's going to be effective for you.
38:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
38:33
SPEAKER_01: Um, we've done landscaping design, all kinds of cool things.
38:38
SPEAKER_01: And so um, those are it was a good idea to look back at my threads to see what how I've used it.
38:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it's yeah, it's really powerful.
38:48
SPEAKER_01: We had a child who was struggling with something really specific, and it felt a little weird at first to go to Chat GPT to like explain what was going on.
39:00
SPEAKER_01: And then I just asked for like book recommendations and like how as a mom I could support this child in a better way.
39:07
SPEAKER_01: Here's what I was doing, did it right?
39:09
SPEAKER_01: And so, like that, I mean, there's like some gray area there, so you just have to use your judgment.
39:13
SPEAKER_01: Like, it gave me some ideas that I thought were ridiculous.
39:15
SPEAKER_01: Um, and but it gave me some really good ideas too.
39:18
SPEAKER_01: And so I I think that it can be a really powerful tool for brainstorming.
39:24
SPEAKER_01: It does not replace having to think through things and doing hard work, right?
39:29
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes it just gives you enough to get your mind moving in the right direction, right?
39:34
SPEAKER_01: I think more often than anything, that's what it is.
39:37
SPEAKER_01: It's just like I've hit a mental block, right?
39:39
SPEAKER_01: Because we have so much going on in our lives with homeschooling and being a good wife and being a good mother and being a good church member and a community member and a neighbor and an employee, like all the things.
39:51
SPEAKER_01: And so for me, having it be like a like I really use it kind of as a constant brainstorming resource, even accountability partner.
40:04
SPEAKER_01: Um so it's it's great.
40:07
SPEAKER_01: It's even like a little home manager, the virtual home manager.
40:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it does it absolutely is.
40:13
SPEAKER_01: And if you so the other thing that I tip that I always give people too, people make a mistake often.
40:18
SPEAKER_01: Um, I do have the paid version of Chat GPT.
40:21
SPEAKER_01: People often, in my opinion, make the mistake of not having that paid version because then it doesn't keep the well, or not having an account, period.
40:30
SPEAKER_01: Like Google AI is great, like I said, but having it keep a record of all your conversations allows it to learn your preferences and your preferences and your style and your values to the degree that any AI can, right?
40:43
SPEAKER_01: Like it's not a human.
40:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it can be a great it's a great kind of partner in crime, right?
40:53
SPEAKER_01: Like we're getting things done and we're efficient and and it's it's been great.
40:58
SPEAKER_00: I like a tool, a tool to use.
41:00
SPEAKER_00: It's a tool.
41:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
41:01
SPEAKER_00: It's a great tool in our our tool belt.
41:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, all right.
41:05
SPEAKER_00: I love it.
41:06
SPEAKER_00: This is a great conversation.
41:07
SPEAKER_00: So thanks, and you've given me all kinds of ideas now.
41:09
SPEAKER_00: I want to go try.
41:10
SPEAKER_01: Good, good.
41:11
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
41:11
SPEAKER_01: All right, have a great week, everybody.
41:13
SPEAKER_01: Thanks, guys.
