Transformative AI [? · GW] will revolutionize the ways we interact with the world. But maybe narrow tool AIs [? · GW] are already starting to do so: Every week, there are new startups, websites, and tools launched around using modern machine learning techniques to solve everyday problems, and we might as well use them to amplify our productivity (especially for productively improving the world)!

What are your favourite modern AI tools that make you more productive? I'm using words like "new" and "modern" to distinguish tools built with recent (i.e. last 5 years) advances in deep learning such as GPT-3 from traditional commodity AI algorithms that are widely known and used such as Dijkstra’s algorithm for Google Maps or older machine learning techniques used in recommender systems.

For example, I've recently started using the OpenAI GPT-3 Playground and YouWrite for breaking through my writer's block and quickly getting some ideas to work with (e.g. "A friendly invitation to event X that mentions Y:") as well as Elicit for quickly searching research papers with generated TLDR answers to a specific research question (e.g. "How can we improve insect welfare [EA · GW]?"), and I've heard of some friends enjoying OpenAI Codex for speeding up their programming (though I'm sadly deep in the waitlist).
