Hosted by Todd Cochrane, Episode 1758 of Geek News Central dives into the diverse applications of AI chatbots, drawing from a recent Washington Post analysis. Cochrane begins by summarizing how AI chatbots like ChatGPT are commonly being used. Key points include their use in creative writing and role-playing by 21% of users, aiding with schoolwork by 18% of younger users, general searches and queries, work-related tasks, programming, and image generation.

– Microsoft’s new internal policy on security,
