I Was An AI Skeptic Until These 5 Tools Changed My Mind
ZDNet, Monday, February 24th, 2025
These AI tools make my life and work easier every day - without compromising my values. Here's how.
It's taken me a while to come around, but I've become a fan of certain AI tools -- when used for specific purposes. I've even found some of those tools to be very helpful throughout my day (so much so that I haven't used Google's search engine in weeks).
That, my friends, is refreshing.
How I got here was a bit circuitous. I started out 100% against AI but then I realized I was against AI when used as a shortcut for things like writing and other artistic endeavors. Once I realized AI was very good at helping me research different areas (where I'd previously used a search engine), I adopted it into my process.
