Celebrating Thanksgiving in the Age of AI

As Thanksgiving dinner approaches, it's a time not only for gratitude towards the people and things around us but also for reflection on the rapid advancements in technology, particularly the AI revolution. It's astonishing to realize that we’re only three days away from it being just a year since the introduction of ChatGPT.

Throughout history, every technological innovation has had its pros and cons, with the potential to bring about significant benefits or controversies. Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially in the last year, has epitomized this dichotomy.

Today, I’m sharing ten groundbreaking AI tools that I’m thankful for this season:
