Experts talk about artificial intelligence all the time. From the medical sphere to IT, artificial intelligence (AI) is used for data analysis, complex calculations, and other professional needs. But not many of us are data experts. Do ordinary people really use it?

In this article, you’ll see 7 amazing examples of artificial intelligence in your daily life. From AI roleplay chat assistants to shopping ads, machines are making our lives easier, and people don’t even notice. Check yourself and be sincere – did you know that these routine things are driven by artificial intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence - AI

Here are 7 Use Cases That You Didn’t Know Were AI

1. AI Roleplay Tools

Virtual AI roleplay is a huge industry, popular among people of all ages. Using artificial intelligence, these services allow you to chat with fictional characters.

From anime personalities to imaginary people, you can participate in stories, chat, or even create your own plots. These tools are also based on AI. Each is a program, designed to act in a certain manner. It can simulate the behavior of your favorite anime character or speak the way a certain person would speak. This creates an amazing opportunity to speak to almost any person – and, of course, remain confidential.

Modern artificial intelligence chat tools go far beyond spicy stories. This can be interactive storylines, comforting conversations, or brand-new life experiences.

Moreover, UGC content starts to appear. You don’t have to be a technical expert to create virtual characters and stories. Modern builders use artificial intelligence to program your roleplay character and set emotional patterns.

2. Shopping Recommendations

Let’s assume you open the online shop website. You’ve scrolled it a couple of times before, but haven’t found anything interesting.

And suddenly, the new positions seem quite fashionable. Moreover, you indeed needed this waterproof jacket and googled it a week ago. Amazing!

That’s how personalized suggestions work. Social media and search engines collect information about you to offer the most needed goods and services.

And after visiting an online shop several times, you’ll most likely see relevant goods. This includes sizes, colors, styles, and particular goods you need.

Apart from online shops, this also works for dating apps, health trackers, and many other services connected with personal recommendations.

3. Social Media Feeds

Distracting from the Instagram feeds is quite hard. And here’s the reason – it is designed to be interesting and captivating for you.

Once you spend a little time on social media, you don’t see general news and posts. AI algorithms see and analyze everything you consume. To create a clear picture, tools analyze several aspects:

  • what posts you commented on or liked
  • how much time you spend looking at each picture
  • whether you send a video to someone or save it in favorites

Using all this data, artificial intelligence finds contain that will make you spend more time in social media. And it works!

4. Smart Assistants

Not everybody knows that voice assistants like Siri and Alexa are also AI models. Analyzing users’ voices, they provide assistance and daily tasks and work as search systems.

Unlike an artificial intelligence chat or lifelike roleplay, they are programmed to complete certain tasks. Still, smart assistants quickly develop and now can understand a conduct a basic conversation.

Online chat support is a similar thing. Asking a question on a website, you most likely chat with a bot. Some of them are designed to answer certain questions, but others can generate answers depending on context. What’s even more amazing, such bots are often indistinguishable from real people.

5. Virus and Fraud Detectors

This sphere covers several services, well-known to online users:

  • antivirus tools
  • ad block programs
  • fraud detection

All those programs existed long ago, but you should’ve noticed their sudden improvement. Email boxes no longer claim necessary letters to be scams. Antiviruses detect problematic files before you even see them. Even ad blockers work better.

This happened because of artificial intelligence implementation. Now these tools not only conduct their job. They analyze all the results and understand patterns to identify risks better. Users, meanwhile, only need to click the button and activate the tool.

6. Traffic Prediction and GPS

GPS has also improved in recent years, and artificial intelligence is the reason. Analyzing data in real time, navigators can predict traffic jams and build the best route for a user. Navigation itself is also better. GPS sees what routes are commonly used by people and detects obstacles way better than before.

GPS can also adjust the route in real time. For instance, your itinerary can slightly change during the long trip. This happens because the program is analyzing the current traffic.

7. Gaming

Video games were one of the first to implement AI. But you didn’t even realize the real scale of it. Sure, artificial intelligence companion tools work with the help of artificial intelligence. Some D&D apps also use it. Did you know, however, that AAA RPG games also work with the help of artificial intelligence?

Analyzing your behavior, NPC characters can generate new phrases and movements, or simply appear in places where you often go.

Online games, meanwhile, use AI for ideal balancing. Your rivals are not only of the same level as you. Artificial intelligence tracks your game manner, weak points, and overall gaming statistics to find the perfect rival. That is why you sometimes see rivals of higher levels – despite the number, their gaming skills are closer to yours.

Shortly sayings, almost everything you do online is somehow connected with artificial intelligence. This is not only a professional tool for complicated tasks.

Modern machines can be our emotional assistants and provide support via AI chat. They help to make our shopping experience better. Finally, they facilitate searching and protect our online experiences.
