1. Chatbots
At this point in time, all of us are accustomed to using various chatbots on the Internet. Whether it is something as simple as a customer service bot to one that talks like a human, there are bots of all kinds. However, did you know a lot of the bots you have been using are actually examples of artificial intelligence?

A prominent example of this is ChatGPT. People started out using this chatbot as just another online companion. However, you’ll be surprised to know that, ChatGPT is actually an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot. ChatGPT is powered by OpenAI’s large language model (GPT 3). The company has also released a newer model titled GPT-4, an LLM available to Plus users.

The bot has been designed to mimic human-like responses and perform a variety of tasks. While people initially used the chatbot for simple conversations, it quickly turned out that ChatGPT is capable of doing just about anything online.

2. Microsoft Bing
While Google has always been the go-to search engine for almost everyone, Microsoft has now revamped Bing with artificial intelligence. The new AI Bing has been specially created to give the search engine the power to intelligently give nuanced responses by its AI. However, Bing also benefits from the new Chat mode.

Bing AI’s Chat mode essentially lets any user talk to the search engine and draw up all forms of search results. Like ChatGPT, Bing can answer a wide variety of questions and do a lot of things. Since its release, MS Bing has soared in popularity with the website registering over 100 million daily active users. If you’re already a part of the crowd using MS Bing AI, you might have already tried out this powerful example of artificial intelligence.

3. Smart Compose, Quick Reply, and Grammar Check
If you use Gmail then you might have noticed a feature called Smart Compose. It suggests complete sentences based on the preceding line that you have written. It uses Artificial Intelligence to quickly compose your email drafts with contextual accuracy and correct grammar. I use it quite often and believe me, it’s pretty helpful. There could be no better example of AI making life better and saving time on the other hand. You can use this feature in the Compose window. Whenever you get a smart compose suggestion, just hit the tab key and it will be added to your draft.

There is also Quick Reply, both in Gmail and messaging apps on Android, and this technology is also powered by AI. For example, when I get a message on WhatsApp, some quick replies appear on top of the notification based on the message. You can simply tap on it and the reply will be sent instantly. This is another example of AI making a small difference in how we interact online.

Lastly, we have Grammar Check on Google Docs which is powered by AI. There are countless people who use Google Docs to write stories, articles, and whatnot. And Google leverages its advancement in AI to help users write error-free sentences. The service is enabled by default, but you can manually turn it on from Tools -> Spelling and Grammar. Apart from Google’s service, you have Grammarly and many alternatives that offer AI-based grammar checks.

 

 

4. Google Recorder, Live Captions, and Transcribe
One of the best uses of AI is happening in speech detection. Google Recorder, Otter.ai are some of the best examples which are leveraging AI to transcribe speeches in real-time. In fact, Google Recorder goes one step further and uses Machine Learning (which is a subset of AI) to transcribe speeches without internet connectivity. Everything happens offline and with pinpoint accuracy. Not to mention, it also creates a searchable note so you can easily edit the transcription on the go.

Besides that, Google has also brought Live Caption on Android and Chrome browsers. It can listen to internal audio and offer live captioning in real-time. All of this is possible because of AI. Note that, currently, Live Captions only supports English. Then there is the Live Transcribe app by Google which transcribes speeches in over 80 languages and in real time. That’s absolutely great, right? Not to mention, it can detect surrounding sounds such as fire alarms or doorbell ringing which can help people who are deaf and hard of hearing.

 

 

5. Social Media Feeds, Amazon, and Netflix Recommendations
Sadly, social media too has a big AI factor involved in it. Even if you are living under a rock, there’s a high probability that you are tweeting from underneath it. If Twitter’s not your platform, maybe it’s Facebook or Instagram, Snapchat, or any of the myriad social media apps out there. Well, if you are using social media, most of your decisions are being impacted by artificial intelligence.

From the feeds that you see in your timeline to the notifications that you receive from these apps, everything is curated by AI. It does this through complex algorithms that is takes all your past behavior, web searches, interactions, video watches, and more as sample data. It then uses all this to tailor the experience just for you. The sole purpose of AI here is to make the apps so addictive that you come back to them time and time again. As we have already seen, AI in social media is definitely winning this battle.

Not to mention, the recommendations you see on Amazon after adding a product to the cart or based on your browsing history, of them are curated based on AI. Even Netflix recommendations are smartly curated using AI to show you movies and shows that are tuned to your preferences.
