The Current State of AI: How It’s Changing Our Lives

AI has made great progress and is now adding value to many parts of our everyday lives. Here’s a look at some key areas where it’s having an impact:

For Everyday Use:
1、Coding: Is shifting from writing every line to prompting an AI partner. The goal is becoming less about typing code and more about giving high-level directions to AIs like GitHub Copilot or Claude.
2、Research: AI agents like Perplexity and the latest ChatGPT can now perform deep research online, consolidating info way more effectively than a simple Google search.

Creative & Productivity AI:
1、Images:
It’s no longer just about generating random pictures. Tools like Midjourney and DALL-E 3、DeepImg offer photorealistic results and more control, moving from “AI generation” to “AI Photoshop.” Think of the viral “Pixar-style moms” or “historical figures taking selfies” trends.
2、Video:
AI video is getting incredibly realistic and is a new cheat code for viral content. Google’s Veo demo of a knife slicing through fruit is a perfect example.
3、All-in-One AI Platforms:
We’re seeing the rise of tools that bundle everything into one place. For example, assistants like ChatGOT integrate top models (GPT-4o, Gemini, DeepSeek) with a full suite of features for chat, writing, PDF, slide , and image.

Other Cool Stuff:

  • Google’s NotebookLM can turn your notes into a custom podcast.
  • We’re starting to see AI-cloned influencers on livestreams. Is the future being “on camera” without actually being there?
  • AI is getting better at math but still can’t invent new ways to solve complex proofs.

On the Frontier:
Google’s AlphaEvolve shows how AI is accelerating science itself:
It broke a 50-year-old record for a core computing algorithm.
It improved the solution to a classic math puzzle (“the kissing number problem”).
On many hard science problems, it now solves them as well as—or even better than—the best human experts.
