Thanks Charlotte, you are ahead of the crowd. Great to know he is transcribing - that is a lesser known use case, so kudos! You can convert pdfs into editable text too! I shall add it in! Best, Jayshree
Also, he is using it to score his music saving him thousands of dollars finding someone with that specialty! When we charted our music back in the 80’s it cost us about $1000 per song! So this is an amazing feature!
This is an excellent guide! Still going through it. I wanted to mention that for Gemini the way they store your data is kind of nuanced. First you have the option to completely turn off storage of your prompts and the output you get back. In that case they will still hold onto them for up to 72 hours. (This can be inconvenient if you forget to save them but is kind of like incognito mode.) Next, I didn’t know this before but noticed you can adjust that 18 month time frame for everything else to be anywhere from 3 mos to 36. Maybe that’s new or ? Dunno. Also humans may review. Although they claim to separate the data from your identity before a human sees it (but still. I would not put anything out there that is at all private! Because, ugh!)
Thanks, Nancy. Good points on the nuances. Worth exploring. I either delete everything on Gemini, use it without signing in, or otherwise do not care if the data is used as it may already be public and found through a Google search. I avoid Gemini and any model that wants to use user data for training even now. Claude is limited in its free versions, and is still learning to respond.
Wow! @Jayshree Gururaj has provided a very comprehensive guide to the many ways one can utilize AI tools! I notice I’ve incorporated a few myself.
“ Scan paper notes, handwritten drafts, typed pages, or even long-lost soft copies—and digitize them.”
My husband has done this with his dozens of notebooks of lyrics for his songs! And we used it to decipher some of my father’s old handwritten notes.
Thank you @Jayshree Gururaj , I’m am definitely bookmarking this article for future reference! 🤗✨💖

That is the power of genAI - great use case. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, yep & yep. Most every time reading, when I'd hit a yea but & planned a comment, you answered my yea but in the next paragraph!
Yes AI/GPT's a useful tool but always check (Even when, especially when you want to spend 10 hours researching and 38.7 hours writing,) and verify.
Thanks Jim, and for validating the tips too. lol, love the 38.7 edit. Best, Jayshree
