Sharing a ChatGPT Account with My Wife

I just put Anthropic's research on economic Index in notebookLM and started listning to the conversation, It got me thinking about a question I could ask ChatGPT: Knowing what you know so far, how am I using your advice?

I was curious to see how ChatGPT would respond to this question, and the answer was interesting because my wife and I share the same ChatGPT Pro account, but we use AI in different ways.

For some context, she works in education and social work fields that, to me, are deeply human-centric and far from the typical sit-down-in-front-of-a-computer type of job. Either because of my influence or something else, she also uses AI regularly. She drafts materials for addiction prevention guides, writes contracts for her yoga business, looks up health-related information, and casual google search type of stuff. I mostly use it for writing code, building software products, doing market research, and automating tasks for fun.

I was under the impression that LLMs are mainly used for software development or other technical work, but after listening to the NotebookLM conversation, I realized that's not the case. This research also confirms it.

Over the last couple of years, it feels like I've had another learning curve with AI.

  • Before, I watched YouTube tutorials and read Stack Overflow to learn coding. Now, I just use Cursor with Whisper, and honestly, this has been the biggest value I've gotten from AI.

  • Before, we browsed recipe online or watch them on youtube. Now, we just ask ChatGPT.

  • My wife used to draft simple business contracts by mixing and matching content she found in the public domain. Now, she uses AI—better quality, less time spent.

  • We used to struggle with financial decisions—where to invest, whether real estate was a good idea, when is the right time to buy a house, pension plans, S&P 500, Bitcoin, all of it. We never really figured it out properly. Now, we just ask AI, and it helps us structure our thinking.

  • For her small yoga business, she used to rely purely on experience and gut feeling to make decisions. Now, she adds AI's opinion into the mix.

  • Even small things—if I can still eat those eggs or where to travel next—are now AI-assisted.

Looking at all these use cases, I don't think we've actually given up any tasks to AI that we wanted to do ourselves. Instead, AI has become a tool that helps us think, plan, and execute tasks more efficiently.

Now, we get to spend more time with family, have longer dinners, and do more of the things we actually enjoy.
