One of the funniest (and most unexpected) uses of AI in my personal life is how it’s become the unofficial referee in family debates.
Whether we’re arguing over how long to microwave popcorn, the real lyrics of a song, or whether sharks can in fact swim backwards (they can’t, apparently) — someone always ends up saying:
“Let’s ask ChatGPT!”
It’s become such a staple in our house that my kids treat it like an all-knowing oracle — part search engine, part fun fact dispenser, and part parental override system.
Of course, the responses don’t always settle the debate — sometimes they spark new arguments. (“ChatGPT is wrong, I saw it on YouTube!”) But it’s become a light-hearted, surprisingly educational way to bring curiosity into everyday conversations.
Also: It definitely beats shouting across the room, “Google it yourself!”
