Which favorite tools did you replace with AI counterparts and do not regret?
We all have apps that we have been using for quite sometime. It's not easy to replace tools that we are familiar with, and are so used to that moving on to something that claims to be more efficient or powerful might end up being counter-productive. But, looking back, I realized that I ended up riding the AI wave and no longer use apps that used to be 'always-on' for me. From @Grammarly I switched to @ChatGPT by OpenAI, from MS Word/Google Docs I switched to @Notion (as it has AI features), and from @Adobe Photoshop I switched to @RunwayML (before Adobe added AI features). I am sure you all must have similar experiences, and I'd love to know them.

I still haven't really caught on to the AI wave, I don't know where they fit in to my needs & ethics. If it's for making brand content or guidance, I might be open to it. But if it's for my users, I'm not comfortable sending off their data somewhere unless it's explicit that they are using an AI tool and sending off their information. AI is a powerful tool, but a privacy nightmare.
