Turn those family pics into childrens colouring pages. Hours of fun. The kids love them

NinaVrina

Wow . i need to do this?
VAR can do one

Grover26

Then you just print them off ?

I would be cautious about taking the early reports at face value on this one. There is usually a quieter more important story sitting just behind the obvious headline.

I will update this thread if anything significant changes
Still figuring it all out

I thought that at first but it changed after a few hours. Can't really go wrong with it. :)

Hmm, not convinced. That is the thing isn't it.

Appreciate it.

I trust recommendations from people who have actually used it over a month, not first impressions

Midnight Wolf

Solid advice that. Might save you more than you think.

Most AI tools I have tried are impressive for a session and then disappear from my routine

EntangledOne

That is exactly the lesson I learned. Good luck with it

There is something right about that. There is a kind of restraint in the best of this that is harder to achieve than it looks.

There is a lot more to say about this.

The free tier is usually enough unless you have a very specific workflow. ;D

Not bad at all. I have found that the biggest savings come from the boring stuff nobody wants to do.

Cheers for sharing that
Lurker since the beginning

That is pretty much what I took from it too. I find the best analysis usually comes a week or two after the initial coverage settles down.

Worth keeping an eye on

Paige_68

That resonates with me. Sometimes the value is in the details people nearly leave out.

Happy to keep discussing this.

Forum veteran. Battle hardened.

That is what I found too. Appreciate the discussion

I use AI for cooking ideas more than anything else.

I'll list random ingredients I have and it somehow comes up with combinations I would never think of. Some of them are disasters, but that's part of the fun

Hot take: my favourite use of AI is just asking it to explain things like I'm 10 years old.

It's surprisingly good at stripping away jargon, and that alone has saved me hours of confusion when learning technical stuff

WWEGary20

My favourite use of AI honestly has been just using it as a thinking partner when I'm stuck on a problem.

Not in the sense that it gives me perfect answers, but it helps me break things down in a way that stops me spiralling. It's like rubber-duck debugging, but the duck talks back

HitmanBrad98

I use AI a lot for learning random niche topics.

Like I'll go down a rabbit hole on something completely obscure, and instead of digging through 20 websites, I can just ask follow-up questions until I actually understand it. It's kind of addictive in a good way
Cashback on everything or it didn't happen

I mostly use AI for writing rough drafts of stuff I don't want to start from scratch.

Not copy-pasting it, just getting over that blank page problem. Once there's something there, I can actually shape it into my own voice

DiogoCardoso

Mine is probably using AI as a study buddy.

It quizzes me, explains things in different ways, and doesn't get annoyed when I ask the same question five times. That alone makes it better than most revision methods I used before
Just here for the craic :)

I like using AI for brainstorming creative projects.

Even if half the suggestions are nonsense, there's usually one idea buried in there that sparks something actually useful
Football is life. Everything else is just details.

HiggsField10

I use it for coding help, but not in the way people think.

It's less about writing full code and more about spotting mistakes or explaining why something isn't working. It's like having a second pair of eyes that never gets tired
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Stu96

Honestly my favourite use is just having it summarise long, boring documents.

Stuff I would normally procrastinate on reading becomes manageable in seconds, and then I can decide if it's actually worth digging deeper

Ryan65

I've started using AI as a journaling prompt generator.

It asks me questions I wouldn't normally think to ask myself, which makes the whole process feel less repetitive and more reflective

Dylan

Weirdly, my favourite use is just for naming things.

Whether it's project folders, game characters, or even playlists, I always get stuck on names. AI somehow takes the pressure off that completely
