OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently revealed how he uses AI tools for his everyday tasks and although many would think he would use artificial intelligence chatbots in highly complex ways, it's actually the opposite.
Speaking at a recent episode of Wharton organisational psychologist Adam Grant’s ReThinking podcast, when Altman was asked how he uses ChatGPT in solving problems at work, he replied: “Honestly, I use it in the boring ways, and I use it for like, help me process all of this email or help me summarise this document, or they're just the, the very boring things."
Altman isn't the only tech CEO to use AI tools to get mundane work done. Last year, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had shared that he uses his Outlook’s AI features to organise and prioritise his inbox, CNBC reported. Another tech CEO, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, whose company makes many of the high-powered computer chips that power AI large language models, said that he mostly uses AI chatbots to help him write first drafts.
“I give it a basic outline, give it some PDFs of my previous talks, and I get it to write my first draft,” CNBC quoted him as saying. “It’s really fantastic.”
The technology is evolving quickly, Huang said at the CES trade show in Las Vegas in January, but at AI’s current stage, most experts recommend using it more as a tool to research and brainstorm. They advise against relying on it for final drafts since AI chatbot responses are known to be inaccurate at times and occasionally be factually incorrect -- a phenomenon termed as “hallucination”.
