Alex (00:01.136)
Welcome back and happy Friday.

Leesha (00:03.688)
Friday, today we're going to talk about something exciting.

Alex (00:07.31)
Exciting. We are going to talk about chat GPT. What?

Leesha (00:11.564)
Yep, we're going to talk about AI because if you're not using AI, you probably should be. No, actually some people really don't agree with AI. Very strong. Yeah, definitely. Let's just dive right in. We don't even need any prep work for this. I'll just go for it.

Alex (00:17.038)
What are you doing? Yeah, like what are you doing with your life? No, I'm just kidding, but for real.

I know some people do have some strong feelings.

Alex (00:35.127)
I mean, do we need to talk about what ChachiPT is? Because who did we talk to a while back ago? Oh, it was one of your mom's friends. And she was like, a little, I mean, but she wasn't like crazy old. So let's just surface level describe what ChachiPT Gemini AI is. OK. OK. There's no way to keep jumping.

Leesha (00:41.346)
That's true. It was, yeah, a little bit older though.

No.

Leesha (00:54.156)
Okay. There's no way that you don't know what artificial intelligence is. And I'm sure that any platform, even your phone, is probably offered, your email is probably offered, do you want AI? So, chat GBT is probably the most popular form of AI. And it's basically, yeah, Gemini is next. We both have Google phones, so Gemini is very popular for us. I don't know if Apple has their own AI yet.

Alex (00:58.62)
on some level. Our phone's forced to donnas.

Alex (01:12.602)
Gemini being second, I think.

Siri I think Siri is just Yeah Yeah, I mean it all depends on I mean it can do so much stuff that it just really depends on what you need and how you use it

Leesha (01:23.106)
They just morphed it into that and then Google had to come up with a new one. Okay, that makes sense. So basically, it's a tool to use to make your life easier. Really? I mean...

Leesha (01:42.286)
It's a little, yeah, it's literally mind boggling. I mean, it honestly is kind of scary. We're gonna touch on some of those points too, but. Yeah, so I, when I started my virtual assistant business, AI was just kind of starting. It was almost, I think it was kind of crazy. So that would have been the like 2022. And yeah, you'd hear about it and people talking about it, but it really.

Alex (01:46.748)
We're going to have to do the points too. What was the first time you used ChatGPD?

Alex (01:56.709)
It was kind of baby.

We've been hearing about it, but it was like a programmer kind of thing.

Leesha (02:10.208)
Yeah, it wasn't out there for like every day anybody use. And so then it started when I took my course to be a virtual assistant. People were talking about like, are you using it? What's it for? Is it going to replace us? know, are people not going to need our services because of AI? And so I had to jump in real quick and Alex joined my team and started doing virtual assisting also pretty quickly after me. So we had to learn how to use it because we had to be ahead of the tech.

Alex (02:12.847)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (02:32.667)
We had to be like, yeah, like what do you edge the edge of

Leesha (02:41.774)
If you know, it's it's kind of one of those things it's like if I was to hand write a blog for someone it's going to take me two hours we'll say but if I put into AI and to chat and say write me a blog about 10 parks in San Antonio It's gonna spit it out in five seconds

Alex (02:58.651)
It's the spit out and the high side. And the more you use it, the smarter it gets and more in tune with you. So like for work wise, like we build like an AI prompt for them basically and give it its brand information, the tone, like who their target audience is, which you can have it help you build this too and be like, hey, this is what I'm looking for. And I want you to stay on tone like the throughout the whole use and it will help you get there. It's crazy.

Leesha (03:05.086)
So like, we're quiet.

a brand.

Leesha (03:24.524)
Yeah. Yeah, so it is. And for businesses, know, you can use it as a tool, a kind of like a mentor, or you can use it as somebody just to kind of give you feedback on something. You can use it to write for you. Obviously, you want to go in and change it and tweak it and make it kind of, you know, put in some stuff that is more you and personalized.

Alex (03:33.822)
and

Alex (03:37.499)
And it will sometimes pull things like that are off base. Yeah.

Leesha (03:48.91)
Incorrect. Yeah, just off track for sure. So that's really where we got introduced to it. And then the more we would talk to people, the more we would find out that everyone's using it, you know, all these things. And then AI starts doing graphics and it starts doing just building. I mean, it can build platforms for you. It can rewrite code. You you can ask it to do anything.

Alex (04:05.221)
crazy stuff.

Yeah.

You can ask it to do anything. And you can submit pictures to it to have it do things, like math homework, or a space to have it tell you how to best set the space up.

Leesha (04:20.142)
Yeah. I, yeah.

Leesha (04:26.85)
Or organize something or yeah, we did that with my backyard we did it. Yeah, so Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm or Yes, sometimes it can be just like fun things too, which we're gonna go over tons of different things But we used it to do our little Barbie boxes. I AI thing I don't know if we put it on our actual feed on Instagram, but we put it in our stories for sure And on our Facebook group. I just shared it in our Facebook group

Alex (04:30.619)
Cause I told you, was like, people have been doing pictures of like their living room and then having them be like, I want it to be modern.

Alex (04:45.378)
Yeah.

We didn't. We did put in our story,

Leesha (04:55.306)
So yeah, anyways, it's a tool to use and you can use it for business, you can use it for personal, you can use it for anything, anything. And if you don't like AI and you don't wanna listen to this episode, you don't have to.

Alex (05:02.115)
Anything, everything. Yeah, or maybe you don't like AI, but you're kind of curious why everybody does like it. This could be a good episode for you to hear how it is helping.

Leesha (05:13.044)
Yeah. Yes, it definitely, you can use it as little or as much as you want. It doesn't have to run your life. I feel like AI definitely could easily interrupt bad things. And we're going to talk about that.

Alex (05:25.401)
You could definitely. Yeah. Yep, we are. So I want to talk about the first time I heard somebody using it for not work, because we learned about it through workspace, basically. And so like, that's how we've been using it. That's how we've been talked about how to use it, how did we taught we use it, like all that. And then somebody one day was like, I used it to make a kid scavenger hunt. I was like, what?

Leesha (05:37.228)
Yeah. For work.

Alex (05:54.716)
What does that mean? Like, what do you mean? What did you do? How did you prompt that? And then from there, it's just been like a spiral of learning like how, and like how crazy of things can I say to this or have it do, you know, like, and it's just kind of been really fun and interesting.

Leesha (05:54.838)
Yeah, what do you mean?

Leesha (06:06.028)
What can I ask it to get this info? Definitely. we kind of, this episode could go in so many different directions. to be quite, yeah, to be quite honest, we do have an outline and I think we're probably just going to run down our outline to stay a little bit and most organized because you want to know who made the outline?

Alex (06:22.715)
and we're not sure.

Leesha (06:35.382)
He put in there, we put in there what we want to talk about and what kind of like main, yeah, our bullet points and then it builds it for us. ours is trained really well to know exactly what we talk about. And it has all of our transcripts from our podcasts and it, yeah, definitely. Like we kind of mentioned. Yeah.

Alex (06:40.067)
our board.

Alex (06:49.036)
you

Mm-hmm.

It's pretty in tune with us at this point because we use it enough for it to be.

Leesha (07:00.916)
So we are going to start out with how are moms using chat GPT. And something you should know is I actually posted the question in a local Facebook group and I had like 40 different people and moms just commenting on what they're using it for. So you're gonna get insight not only that they hate it. yes, or they're hating it. And so it was very interesting.

Alex (07:14.354)
my god.

Or moms being like, I'm not living my life correctly, I need to get this. Yeah. Or that they hate it.

Leesha (07:27.712)
gathering of information that I got from this. So first off, one of the most popular things that was reported back was they were using it to make meal plans. You can literally look around in your fridge in your pantry and say, have noodles and I have cream and I have...

Alex (07:39.311)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (07:46.044)
Or just like give it your grocery list basically. Like this is what I have my staples and then be like, but I'm willing to shop for like little things. I have mine map out dinners for the month. And then I have it map out snacks that I can meal prep for my kids because it just is so easy. And sometimes you can have it give you recipes too for specific things. Like if you're like, I want to try something new, but I also need a recipe to go with it.

Leesha (07:49.559)
Yeah.

Leesha (08:12.276)
Right and if you have picky eaters you can tell it that or if you have dietary restrictions you can tell it that Different you know recipes based on those things So that was probably by far the most popular you could even ask it to write you the grocery list for the recipes

Alex (08:16.699)
which I've had to do that too.

Alex (08:27.961)
Yeah, so mine goes, it makes my list and it breaks it down by day and like all that stuff. And then it will be like, do you want me to make a grocery list for this? And sometimes I say, yeah, sometimes I don't because like it's just stuff that I like know how to make or whatever. But when it does make you a grocery list, it's actually really cool. Cause it like breaks it down into like categories. And then it will like be like, here's your veggies, here's your proteins, here's your, you know, which is kind how you would shop a grocery store also, you know.

Leesha (08:37.932)
Right.

Leesha (08:43.566)
Yeah. But it does need to be a list. It's actually really cool because it breaks it down into categories, then it will be for veggies, or protein, which is kind how you shop at the grocery store also. Right, exactly. So that was by far the biggest one. Which makes sense. Yeah. then Alex has actually used it for our next one, which was a chore chart or the reading list. Yeah, but actually I'm still.

Alex (09:01.135)
Which makes sense.

Alex (09:09.915)
Yeah, so I had it build a summer reading program, basically, for my oldest child to help her stay on top of reading and fine tuning that skill set. And it made me a graphic for her chart. And it was really cute, but it wasn't quite right. So I ended up recreating it, but used it as my guide.

Leesha (09:16.425)
list.

Leesha (09:25.196)
Mm-hmm.

So funny. Inspiration,

Alex (09:33.947)
and then it made like a rewards program and broke down like reward ideas for each level. And it even gave me a list of like suggested books for her age group or authors. it also said like places to check for these kinds of books, like what, libraries around me or bookstores or whatever. was really cool. I was honestly super impressed with it because it did more than I asked it to do.

Leesha (09:38.094)
So crazy.

Leesha (09:51.982)
So yeah, you can also use it for any any type of reward chart chore chart and then also like a bedtime routine So if you're struggling with your bedtime routine you literally can go into chat and say this is what I'm struggling with This is the type of kid I have Can you give me some ideas or tips on how to make our bedtime routine easier?

Alex (10:14.181)
Okay.

Yeah. And you can also, I always do this at the end of mine, which is sometimes it says, no, I'm good. And sometimes it's like, yeah, I do. This is what I need. I'll prompt it if I'm doing it something and I'm like, I don't know if I'm giving it enough information. I'll say, let me know if you need more info on this before you can build what I'm asking. And it will let you know and it will give you a list.

Leesha (10:34.848)
Right. And that's how you get better information from it. Because if it doesn't have everything it needs, it's just going to give you a general, just general knowledge information. But if you really take the time to explain what's going on, it's pretty good. You can also ask it to write you workout plans. And you can put in there if you need low impact, if you're trying to resolve a certain issue, if you have any criteria or style that you need to go by.

Alex (10:42.467)
It's just gonna be.

Alex (11:01.275)
That is such a great idea, I've never used it for that before.

Leesha (11:04.459)
Yeah, so like people that have the diastasis, yeah, they can, I mean, you probably should see a professional if you do have that, but. So that's always with AI, take it with a grain of salt, you should always, you know, don't go to it. A lot of people have been using it for medical advice, and I don't necessarily agree with that.

Alex (11:06.553)
They say subtractive. That is the worst.

You should if it's bad.

Alex (11:20.877)
I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, especially after like, like I said, it makes mistakes and we've had to fix things for like clients or whatever, know, where I'm like, that is literally not the right thing. Where did it even get this from? So I would not trust it with something like that.

Leesha (11:26.4)
It definitely makes mistakes. absolutely. It's not even right.

Yeah, so definitely should put a little bit of a disclaimer out there. Don't take us word for word, but it's a tool, like I said. So it's not a cure-all for everything. Yeah. Yeah. And this is also a good thing to say that for. If you're homeschooling, it can give you a lot of good information. You could use it as almost like a teacher's assistant for curriculum planning. Definitely.

Alex (11:44.151)
It's not a replacement for jobs and people, but it is a tool.

Alex (11:58.009)
Mm-hmm.

And it can help you make keys and stuff like that too for homework.

Leesha (12:05.502)
Absolutely 100 % used it for homework because I'm not good at math and so I literally have taken a picture of the worksheet of the kids and I put it in there and said give me the you know tell me the answer but it doesn't only give me an answer it will explain it and so then I I can help the kid be able to do it and figure it out instead of it just giving the answer

Alex (12:10.563)
Amen.

Alex (12:20.453)
like how it's there.

Alex (12:25.493)
I know you told me that and I was like that is actually a really smart idea. I wasn't at that level with Logan. She only had one worksheet where I was like what the heck and I could not find it anywhere on Google.

Leesha (12:31.214)
It's kind of like working backwards.

Leesha (12:36.43)
Sometimes they're worded weird and the AI was able to decipher it better than my brain could.

Alex (12:41.901)
Yeah, I should have done that. I didn't even think of it until you had told me like two weeks after I had that issue.

Leesha (12:47.722)
Literally was the best. And then you can use it for planning games. So like the scavenger hunts, like Alex said, would you rather questions, jokes, holiday activity lists. We've actually used AI a lot to help us build our holiday challenge that we put out. Yeah, definitely.

Alex (12:56.378)
and

Alex (13:05.485)
It did, it actually helped us clean that up a lot because we did a lot of it ourselves the first round of everything, but then we used AI when we ran it through all again and it had us clean up a lot of stuff like our mad libs and stuff like that.

Leesha (13:12.632)
and that's

Leesha (13:18.926)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I know another topic that people will use it for is like road trip planning. So if you're taking like a several day, yeah, but several day road trip plan, you can say I'm going from, you know, San Antonio to New York City, we're gonna stop three times, where can I stop that has a good hotel, a good restaurant, and like it will literally tell you, and it will tell you, it'll map it for you, it'll tell you the timeframe, it'll tell you good rest area stops, points.

Alex (13:38.168)
Mm-hmm.

math and freedom.

Alex (13:47.079)
For our beach trip, I usually make a packing list, a very expensive packing list for all of us. I bring it down by kid. I break it down by like miscellaneous items, medicines, toilet, your bag, Cody, me. had a high, I had Gemini. No, I had chat. Sorry. I'm going through all of them in my head. Uh, do it for me. And it did so good. It was like, I did it. It was, I did, all I prompted was these are the age of my kids. This is what I'm doing one night. Make my list.

Leesha (14:08.32)
I feel crazy.

Leesha (14:15.15)
I will literally never not be amazed at what it gives

Alex (14:18.221)
It was wild, it was so good. It broke down like Cody's fishing gear that he wanted to bring. And I don't know what all that stuff is. And it like broke down like, yeah, basically. And then it like broke down the girls, like what exactly they need. And it even added extras of stuff that I normally would be like, we need like six pairs of underwear, you know? It did it.

Leesha (14:25.838)
You're like, here's your list for you that AI made.

Leesha (14:39.093)
That's That's so funny. So that's a really good one to use it for also. Just the possibilities are literally endless. It just, I don't even know. One of the things that I definitely have used it for probably the most in my personal life is to rewrite very angry mom emails.

Alex (14:46.523)
or endless, yeah.

Leesha (15:07.434)
Like I have mentioned several times in past episodes is the school year, this last school year was really hard. And so there was a lot of emails that had to go out and.

Alex (15:16.283)
I did not get to experience this until Logan got into kindergarten, but I did have to use that a few times too.

Leesha (15:20.31)
Yeah. And it really helped gather my squirrely thoughts and anger and be able to put it down in a way that made sense and was very straight to the point. I mean, you can tell it how you're feeling and it will write it however you want. Nicer than what you're feeling or straight for, know, point.

Alex (15:30.608)
you

Alex (15:35.931)
You can just emotionally dump on it. That's how I did mine. be like, I would just like voice memo it basically and be like, say everything in my mind and offload it and like turn it into an appropriate email to send off to admin staff. Yeah.

Leesha (15:47.374)
Totally.

Yeah.

Leesha (15:54.55)
You know XYZ. Yeah, I have used that probably the most with everything that we had to go in on last year something else that I did use it for was Jameson is has a lot of energy and so I was like Trying to kind of talk with it and see if there was anything I could do to help with like Getting his energy out

or what was going on or anything because it's nothing too serious. I don't feel like I need to take him in to like be seen by any professional, but it's just redirecting his energy. And so it kind of broke it down. It definitely, and I've said this before, we have ADHD tendencies. And so it gave me so many good things that we could do at home that could help just kind of like recenter him.

Alex (16:19.163)
Mm.

Alex (16:25.189)
We need to

Alex (16:40.847)
Mm-hmm.

Leesha (16:41.486)
Before bedtime things, before school things, after school things, anything to kind of like help regulate him.

Alex (16:43.738)
You're in trouble.

Yeah, I did something kind of similar, but for all three of my kids, I just described each of them and their age groups and what I'm looking for and had it give me 30 days of different like activities that they can do independently and then activities that they can do with setup. and it was, it was pretty good. Like it gave me some like very like bodily activity kind of things, some that were very more arts and crafty activity, things that fit how I described the kids and their age groups. So was really cool.

Leesha (16:54.146)
Yeah.

Leesha (17:06.744)
very fun.

Leesha (17:15.945)
Yeah Yeah, know in every stage of parenting I think you're gonna have kids that are in like different highs and lows and so like Jameson will go through ones of being like He thinks everyone hates him or something And so if you tell it that it will tell you what's going on in the brain What developmental stage that they're at and here's like things that can help so it just was like It kind of so okay. I'm actually

Alex (17:21.947)
you

Alex (17:27.407)
in

Leesha (17:40.078)
Side story so you know and like the kids are really little we had the wonder weeks app and So would kind of give you kind of an excuse of like what was going on with your baby at the time But it would explain it to you in a way that made a lot of scientifically it made sense

Alex (17:43.397)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (17:49.936)
That made sense. My gosh. You have no idea how many times the Wonder Weeks app made me feel sane again because I'd be like, what is wrong with her?

Leesha (17:54.446)
I know. once you get, once they get so old, you don't really rely on that. But so old. Right. So if you, you, if you are struggling and if some sort of developmental age and you just need some reassurance, like the Wonder Weeks app, run it through AI and tell it what's going on. It just, it was really helpful.

Alex (18:01.627)
Well, I think it doesn't go past like two years old or something like that

Alex (18:14.427)
I will say though, it does not replace a good like back and forth with another mom. That like, it can definitely reassure you and help you get like the science behind it, but it does not replace like real life. Yeah.

Leesha (18:22.067)
That too, absolutely.

Yeah, definitely Yeah, definitely Definitely so yeah AI is literally literally incredible So let me laminated like a pull up my screenshots of all these posts that came up from the group I Literally printed them out. There's so many there's no way I could remember so we had somebody say that Well, I did it

Alex (18:38.468)
It is incredible.

Alex (18:45.455)
Yeah, we printed them out.

Alex (18:53.127)
gosh, should have printed it like super tiny.

Leesha (18:56.398)
because I just wanted to print on one page because, know, so this, I know, I know, well, it's kind of fuzzy too. So this lady said that she gave it vitamin schedules based on their lab results. So never go in just guessing, but they had lab results and probably dealt with the doctor. And probably my interpretation of this is that they probably had a handful of supplements or medications they needed to take and maybe to break, well, to break it up during the day.

Alex (18:58.595)
Wear your glasses.

Leesha (19:22.35)
because there definitely is some supplements or medications that you're supposed to take in the morning or midday or with food or not with food. So if you put all that info in AI, it could tell you, like, you should take these ones in the morning, you know, take these ones in the midday and take these ones in the evening. Maybe. I don't know. But that was a cool thing to potentially use it for.

Alex (19:25.435)
or three times a day or something like that.

Alex (19:34.075)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (19:38.395)
That could work really good for people that have like a lot of stuff they have to take, whether it be vitamins or meds or whatever.

Leesha (19:41.654)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, for sure. Because they can make you feel so crappy. if you just have like, you know, and doctors sometimes don't know. Pharmacists may. But if you, I mean, I'm not saying to claim that AI has any type of medical degree. They do pull their information from online, though. So there's lots of studies that are just public knowledge online. So, you know, it could pull, it could give you something really good. We talked about,

Alex (19:48.187)
They might.

Alex (20:00.482)
Yeah.

Is possible.

Leesha (20:11.072)
The skylight calendar a lot and it does have an AI feature called sidekick and so I mean I have physically used that also Yeah, we were just talking about that And so that one is really cool You can put in there like if you have dietary restrictions and everything or what you just have available in your pantry Or just the meats you have even that is so easy

Alex (20:17.753)
I am not, dream of it though.

Alex (20:32.719)
Yeah, isn't that also, which I mean, I think Chad can do this too, where you can put in like the URL for like an Instagram post and it will make, pull the recipe from the caption if it's in there and make it into like a recipe cart, basically. Yeah, so I thought that was really cool because I always have to take like a screenshot of the recipe and just keep it in my phone, but it gets lost half the time. But if it's on that.

Leesha (20:40.62)
Yeah. Yeah, it will. And it will build you a grocery list if you want it to.

Leesha (20:53.835)
You can do screenshots too.

Yes, so with the sidekick you can do screenshots or you can even take a picture of like the kids is School lunch calendar and it will put it in there also like it's really cool any event any event any recipe Anything you can just take a picture, and it will like put it in It's really neat right. It's really cool. so then we have

Alex (21:05.723)
Mmm. Oh, that's cool.

Alex (21:13.307)
I just need to bite the bullet and just pay the $79.

Leesha (21:22.158)
Party planning, meal planning, drafting messages. So I think a lot of people just struggle with communication in general anymore. So it's just so helpful.

Alex (21:25.967)
Yeah.

Alex (21:30.619)
Well, I feel like this must be a millennial issue. We always feel like how we're saying something is coming across not the right way or how we want it to come across.

Leesha (21:38.214)
Yeah. Yeah. Another person said for budgeting or like saving money or paying off something. I did have it run like kind of a payoff schedule, I guess, for us. And it didn't I didn't have the info I needed to give it to get the info I wanted, but it was laying out really good stuff.

Alex (21:45.92)
that's a good idea.

Alex (21:59.932)
I could see how that would be helpful for people trying to like build up their savings account. They could be like, this is what we make. This is like our monthly income. This is how we spend that money as of now. Like, where can I lean it down? You can also give it your bank statements, I bet, to pull, my God, this just dawned on me, and have it pull like stuff that's like subscriptions that you could maybe cancel. I know, that sounds like this just dawned on me.

Leesha (22:06.116)
for sure. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Leesha (22:17.3)
Wow, I bet you could.

We literally had a client that we had to do this for. Wow. See, it's like working, we're working harder, not smarter, but we're gonna learn. Always learning. But yeah, budgeting or paying off debt. Like if you told it your debt, what accounts you, like what it is, your interest rates, the term, you can. And it's really cool.

Alex (22:36.397)
Yeah, just give it your whole financial breakdown basically. Yeah, and it could really help you map that out, especially if you're somebody who struggles with that side of stuff.

Leesha (22:48.332)
Yeah, writing local reviews or reviews for things now I will say that you cannot use AI to write your Amazon reviews Ask me how I know I Tried to write a review using AI and it wouldn't take it It's like scan bit. Yeah Yeah, but you could totally like Google Yelp reviews stuff like that. I bet you do it. I Literally was reading some today and I was like, yeah, those are definitely AI so I don't know whatever

Alex (22:58.296)
How do you know?

really? get to detect it? That's interesting.

I swear sometimes those Amazon reviews are AI though.

Leesha (23:18.254)
let me see here the just planning their day in general, homeschool, grocery lists. I mean, I'm telling you, these are all answers from these people. Now we do have some that came in here and they said like free therapy. And like we just mentioned that I don't, depending on the severity of a mental health situation, you, you need to not maybe take just AI's word.

Alex (23:27.684)
Ooh.

Alex (23:41.468)
Maybe you could have it help you get some tools or like how to implement those tools maybe into your life and be like this is what my schedule looks like. That's how I did my meal planning because I am supposed to eat many small meals which is just goes against my lifestyle basically. So I had to like have it figure out a schedule for me for that. So you can do that with like tools be like I need to fit same with exercises. I'm really busy. I need to fit 30 minutes a day of exercise into my day. Here's my typical schedule.

Leesha (23:47.002)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Leesha (23:53.24)
Yeah.

Leesha (23:57.698)
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Alex (24:11.791)
find the time for me basically and map it out. I do know some people that do that, like where they have their days like mapped from wake up all the way to bedtime and like time blocks and they have chat do it. Yeah, but I definitely would not replace my therapist with that.

Leesha (24:21.55)
Yeah, for time management.

No, that's and that's I think that that's very important I to be quite honest a lot of my clients in work are therapists and I definitely see the value in in utilizing that if I mean it and from personal experience it is a huge It's just I just wouldn't rely on AI for it Yeah, definitely and it's really sad to see the AI

Alex (24:35.983)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (24:39.661)
Yeah.

Alex (24:47.388)
I just wouldn't have had to. No, the human aspect of it is important.

Leesha (24:56.962)
And we're gonna touch on this because some of these comments are definitely on the more like watch out, AI is here. But it's sad to see people's jobs and licenses and their whole college career being thrown away because people are just replacing it with AI. And that part of it is very unfortunate. So.

Alex (25:02.115)
Yeah.

Alex (25:12.665)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (25:16.837)
Well, the thing is, though, is they're also going to learn that AI is not infallible. It's different. And the human aspect is definitely a need, I feel like, in a lot of careers. I can't have AI be my doctor. The human aspect is there. They're going to dive deeper. They're going to hear my story. They're going to, you know.

Leesha (25:22.094)
Right. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Leesha (25:38.424)
Right, yeah. So some of the people that commented on here were very interested in the subject, but they also were just making sure that people were really aware that AI usage has an impact on mother nature and just being really like conscious about it. But also in the same, she said that she still uses it for grocery lists and budgets and getting finances in order.

Alex (25:53.515)
yeah, that was really interesting.

Leesha (26:04.974)
Somebody else mentions that they don't want to use it at all because it's not good for the environment and has a lot of ethical and moral ramifications. That is a lot like replacing it for people who are licensed doctors or resources that spent their career and they're just getting pushed away. Another person, a few people agreed on that also.

Alex (26:17.754)
Mm-hmm.

Alex (26:23.023)
Mm-hmm.

Leesha (26:32.087)
Somebody, I don't see it on here.

Alex (26:34.715)
I also think that something to be aware of with AI is being wary about letting your kids use it.

Leesha (26:43.552)
Yes, so that was what I was just gonna bring up. There was a mom on here that was using it to show her kids that AI is not correct. So when you start, think, probably getting into middle, later middle school and high school kids, or even college, not, and we have this problem in general, I think, with media is not everything you see or hear is true. It could be opinion, it could be, you know, whatever. And so definitely putting that out there. One of these moms had commented and said that she was using it to show her s-

Alex (26:52.219)
Or older elementary. Yeah.

Leesha (27:12.75)
children, the AI can be wrong and then finding those errors in it. Right. Yeah.

Alex (27:17.115)
Well, because it's pulling from the web, know, whatever's on there. And so obviously it's cross-referencing to see how many times it's been used or not or debugged or not. But again, if something is saying, there's a giant hole in the sky, like, and it sees it 20 times, it's probably going to pull that up at some point in its AI system.

Leesha (27:25.983)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Leesha (27:34.488)
Mm-hmm.

Leesha (27:38.338)
Right. Another one, another really great way, really great. This mom says, I also use it to help me explain complicated topics to my six year old and four year old. For example, the other day I asked chat to explain cremation to me like I'm a six year old.

Alex (28:01.897)
my gosh, I needed this when Nala passed away. My dog passed away a few months ago and I just had no idea how to talk about that or like, you know, and obviously I was emotional too. And so it was just like, yeah.

Leesha (28:05.324)
Right?

Isn't that like... No.

Yeah. Yeah. And they don't need too much information. So that you tell chat, you just need the basic, know, like literally on any topic. You, you know, it could help you write a script. It could literally write you a script.

Alex (28:19.279)
base.

Alex (28:23.803)
Oh yeah. I write your script. It would be a good way to start introducing like the birds and bees talk whenever you feel that is appropriate for your kid.

Leesha (28:29.358)
Absolutely. Yeah. So those, that's kind of what I gathered up from a local group from moms and how they were using it. definitely you want to have boundaries. know, especially if your kids are middle school, high school, and they're using computers every day, because this year Delilah is going to get assigned to computer and she knows what AI is, but she doesn't know how to use it. And so she'll ask me to run things, you know, or ask it questions. And that's fine, but.

Alex (28:47.151)
they are.

Alex (28:55.163)
I think that part of being wary too is like kids and college students, which I'm considering kids too because I'm older than most of those kids. But they will use it as a way around actually learning the skill. And it's important for them to have, if they're going to school, to just have those skills. Are there some skills that I think are a little silly and you're not going to use in real life in school, in elementary and middle school and high school? Sure.

Leesha (29:01.228)
Okay.

Yeah.

Leesha (29:18.445)
Yeah.

Leesha (29:22.19)
Right. Yeah.

Alex (29:24.943)
But when they're asked on the spot in class to do the skill that they've been doing great at on paper, they're not gonna be able to do it because they're using AI unless they're having it teach them.

Leesha (29:33.676)
Right. Yeah. Right. Which you can you can use it as a tool that way too. You don't have to just ask it for answers you can tell it to teach you to break it down. So yeah I mean chat AI in general I I wouldn't be so scared of it. Now a lot of AI comes up in the news and recently

Alex (29:39.78)
Yeah.

break it down.

Leesha (29:59.246)
we've had a tragedy happening in the Texas Hill country and a lot of the videos that we're seeing this week, specifically when we're recording is a lot of AI videos. And it's really, really unfortunate because you already have the news out there and now you have AI and people believe it. They can't tell. They cannot tell. And I think it's, it gets so good, you know, and some people can catch it and see differences in faces or,

Alex (30:05.412)
of an AI.

Alex (30:14.011)
Some people can't tell. I feel like I usually can tell.

Alex (30:24.057)
Mm-hmm.

Leesha (30:26.498)
things in general or the way that the movement works in the videos, but they're, I mean, they can put out good ones. You cannot tell. And you know, I'll have the kids, they'll be looking over my shoulder and see something. And I'm like, you guys, that's fake. They can't tell. Older people, older generations, they can't even grasp AI. So they can't tell. And so it spreads a lot of misinformation. And that is the scary part. Very scary.

Alex (30:28.291)
Mm-hmm There are some that are really good. Yeah

Alex (30:39.387)
Yeah.

misinformation. And some of the like news, like the stuff particularly about this flood that happened recently here was like showing pictures saying it was like happening now and like it was still flooded even and I'm like that's not what it looks like. Like your mom's up there volunteering and she sent us some pictures and stuff too and so.

Leesha (30:55.758)
Thank

Leesha (31:04.076)
Mm-hmm. It's not. Yeah. Yeah. So definitely just trying to... I'm not saying that you gotta be a total, you know, like, skeptical about any video you see, but just be aware that AI is... There is a scary side to it. Yeah. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, and dates.

Alex (31:21.325)
Always double check your resource. Like double check where you're getting stuff from, especially if it's like an actual information thing. Now, if it's just like gossip or whatever and it has nothing to do with you, then it doesn't matter. But if it's like something serious, like flooding information or new stuff or yeah, double check it.

Leesha (31:32.758)
great it's whatever.

Leesha (31:38.702)
Yeah, new stuff. Yeah, for sure. So that's kind of our little spiel on AI. We love it. We really like to focus on the parts of it that can help us in day to day and be a good tool for us to use in business, in life, in motherhood, and everything. if we put out a little challenge for them to go and explore, if they haven't used it or want to use it more, what would be one of the top three things you would say to like,

Alex (31:52.005)
Mm-hmm.

Leesha (32:08.43)
put a prompt out.

Alex (32:09.179)
As a mom, have it do your meal planning for you. Yeah. Or make an activities list for you. Especially as school comes up, if you have kids in school and then you also have young kids, I'm using this example if you're a stay at home mom. mean, you could do it as a working mom too. But help it get you back into routine. Have it help you get back into routine. Have it help you get your toddlers back into routine or your under school age kids.

Leesha (32:12.815)
yeah, let it do like a week of meal planning.

Leesha (32:30.958)
Yeah.

Alex (32:38.459)
Because I know like right now my two year olds are gonna be off the wall crazy once my oldest is back in school and I'm gonna have to like keep them busier than typical for this first like couple weeks probably.

Leesha (32:45.485)
yeah, for sure.

Yeah, and then What's my meal planning the rear like a schedule or routine for after back to school with younger kids I would do if you're going on any road trips for the weekend because I know School's gonna be back in session here pretty quick. So there's not gonna be as much summer free time but ask it to do like a packing list or To do

Alex (33:00.485)
Thank

Alex (33:16.379)
School should be back in session when this one comes out.

Leesha (33:19.36)
Yeah. So you could do like the road trip, road tripper packing list.

Alex (33:23.513)
Yeah, yeah, and you could do a packing list not just for like going somewhere but like like going on a trip but you could do it like a packing list for an outing, like a day outing or heck for your school school packing list or something you know just to try it out you know and see how you like that tool.

Leesha (33:32.174)
Mm-hmm.

Leesha (33:35.982)
Yeah, yeah The meal planning I think it's gonna be by far the easiest so just ask it know if you have dietary restrictions say this is this is what they are and give me you know these are what meats I have in the freezer and say make me a seven-day meal plan

Alex (33:50.297)
Yeah. Or if you have like an idea of some meals that are favorites, you can be like, I want these in my, yeah.

Leesha (33:55.33)
these types of meals. So yeah, that pretty much wraps it up. If you guys have any more questions or want to let us know what you use it for, we would love to hear it because we were always, we are always learning. We love hearing new ideas and ways to use AI. So hopefully we will hear from you.

Alex (34:06.779)
And we love hearing new ideas.

Alex (34:14.78)
All right.
