sarah jackson CNBC’s technology journalists write about how joanna stern Use artificial intelligence.
“Technology reporter Joanna Stern gave it her all. The former Wall Street Journal reporter and founder of tech media venture New Things spent a year testing all things AI, including lawn mowers, sunglasses, and boyfriends. She chronicled her experiences in her book, “I’m Not a Robot: A Year of Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything.”
“After a year of experimentation, she says some lackluster applications fell by the wayside, such as T-shirt folders and other household robots, but one proved to be a standout: an AI voice tool.
“While immersed in AI, Stern developed the habit of speaking into ChatGPT’s voice mode, which allows users to speak to the AI chatbot and receive a voice response. “I was speaking to ChatGPT in my car almost every day,” she tells CNBC Make It. And it’s a habit she continues even after her book is published.
“While writing the book, Stern used ChatGPT and Claude to create ‘Bookbot,’ a custom AI bot that could access her summaries, research, and transcripts, and do copy editing, number crunching, brainstorming, and more. She frequently conversed with Bookbot through AirPods to stay ‘on track,’ she wrote.”
