Two things I have used it for that I've found highly productive: (1) I've found a huge productivity boost for me around product design has been to speak stream of consciount into Apple Notes (speech to text) and describe what I am imagining from a design perspective, then taking that stream of conscious word vomit and putting it into GPT4 to organize and give structure to. (2) I've pasted...

Looking at Google Trends data it looks like it's come down a tad but not significantly. Still incredibly high
