20- Work in progress...
20+ ## Coding
21+
22+ I use Copilot extensively (with a variety of models: Gemini, Claude, etc). I mostly use AI as a rubber duck, a companion
23+ to bounce off ideas, explore alternatives, discuss pros and cons, etc. I rarely ask AI to implement features or drive
24+ code changes, except for small dependency updates or writing companion documentation. This alone is already making me
25+ feel much more productive without doing any vibe coding (yet).
26+
27+ ## Writing
28+
29+ Almost all my English writing is reviewed by AI.
30+
31+ I’ve designed a custom GPT in ChatGPT with specific instructions to ensure ** it doesn’t change my tone, writing style,
32+ or introduce any new arguments** , but instead corrects grammar mistakes and suggests alternative phrasing when something
33+ doesn’t sound natural to an English-speaking audience.
34+
35+ Since English isn’t my native language, this extra review layer gives me more confidence before publishing (whereas I
36+ never use AI when writing in Spanish). I could probably manage without it at this point, but I’d have to spend a lot
37+ more time correcting errors, re-reading, etc. ** All content is still human-generated, as I don’t use AI to produce
38+ _ original_ text. My goal is not to generate content but to share my thoughts when I feel like it.**
39+
40+ ## Day-to-day
41+
42+ AI has largely replaced my use of traditional search engines, since I use AI all the time to research different topics.
43+ The way it works for me is: I use AI in the early stages to get a good overview of a topic, then fall back to my
44+ previous habits (search engines, Wikipedia, books, etc.) to explore the topic in more depth.
45+
46+ One interesting use case in my personal life is traveling. I’ve recently started using AI while visiting new cities to
47+ learn more about specific aspects. For example, I had to take a business trip to Boston and was walking around the
48+ Harvard campus asking AI questions about the history of Harvard, etc. I did the same while traveling to Tokyo. I still
49+ do my own research and planning when traveling, but AI has been especially helpful in those moments when new questions
50+ come up on the spot.
