This might come as a surprise, but AI tools can make life easier for us ADHDers 🤯 Here’s how 1. “Outsource” tasks that you struggle with. This could be drafting an email response or helping plan your day. 2. Using voice reminders for your schedule With tools such as Alexa, you could set up AI to vocalise your reminders. We all know how easy it is to forget what’s on our schedule. 3. Task breakdown If you’re like me and never know how to break down a task or where to start, AI could help break down tasks into smaller, more manageable actions. 4. Learning & Simplification AI tools help explain context in simple terms, making learning more accessible and less overwhelming. I personally use Gemini as my “scene partner” when I’m running lines for acting gigs. 5. Idea generation and prioritisation If you’re like me and you have 10,000 ideas, ChatGPT can help you decide which one is worth focusing on, based on your experience, what you're passionate about and of course the opportunity itself. Instead of worrying about the future of AI  I say we work with it rather than against it to make our day-to-day lives easier!

ADHD: A Unique Talent in the World of AI In the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we're seeing a remarkable shift in how we perceive and leverage diverse cognitive traits. ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is increasingly recognised not just as a challenge, but as a unique talent that can drive innovation and creativity. As someone who navigates the intersection of AI and cognitive diversity, I've witnessed firsthand how ADHD traits can be powerful assets. Here's why: 1. Hyperfocus and Deep Dive: Individuals with ADHD often experience periods of intense focus. In AI, this hyperfocus can translate into deep dives into complex problems, resulting in groundbreaking solutions. 2. Creativity and Out-of-the-Box Thinking: ADHD is linked with heightened creativity. In AI, where innovation is key, this ability to think differently and generate novel ideas is invaluable. 3. Adaptability and Agility: The fast-paced nature of the AI field demands quick adaptation. Those with ADHD are often highly adaptable, able to pivot and tackle new challenges with agility. 4. Risk-Taking and Innovation: ADHD individuals are known for their willingness to take risks. In AI, where pushing boundaries is essential, this trait fosters an environment of bold experimentation and pioneering advancements. Embracing cognitive diversity, including ADHD, isn't just about inclusivity—it's about recognising and harnessing unique strengths that can propel the AI industry forward. By creating environments that support and celebrate these differences, we open the door to unprecedented innovation and growth. Let's continue to break down stereotypes and see ADHD for what it truly is: a unique talent that has the power to transform the world of AI. #ADHD #AI #Innovation #CognitiveDiversity #Tech #ArtificialIntelligence #Creativity #

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools can help manage ADHD by simplifying tasks, but concerns about overreliance, privacy issues, and potential biases in responses suggest that they should not replace traditional treatments. #AI #Accessibility #ADA https://loom.ly/-irIrxM

Six weeks ago, I set out to create a simple AI tool to help people with ADHD—or anyone who has too much on their mind 🧠 . Today, it's the top ADHD-focused tool on the ChatGPT store 🚀✨ In that time, it has also: • Already reached over 1,000 conversations 🗣️ • Earned a 4.8/5 rating 🌟 • Become #1 ADHD-focused solution on the platform by recent engagement 🌍 This simple AI tool 🤖, is specifically designed to assist with the unique challenges of ADHD. It's part of what's known as a "custom GPTs" - a versions of ChatGPT fine-tuned for specific use, like movie recommendations, travel advice, and much more. In this case, it's tailored to help people manage their thoughts, tasks or plans more effectively. Why did I create it? 🤔 Well, many people don't have the time or expertise to learn about generative AI, prompting, and things like that. But that doesn't mean they should miss out on the benefits of the technological progress or be left behind. With custom GPTs, we can simplify everything and create tools that anyone can use to make their lives a bit easier. Generative AI is also amazing at: • summarization 📝 • breaking down ideas into plans 🗂️ • organizing tasks into lists ✅ Benefits that can be particularly useful for people with ADHD. To my surprise, most options on the ChatGPT store focused on education rather than providing a simple, practical tool you could just pick up and use when needed - nothing more, nothing less. So, I set out to create exactly that. And you can try it for yourself right here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dDE2vjSa ❗ Pro tip: Try using it with speech-to-text (available on macOS and the mobile ChatGPT app). It’s often easier to speak your mind than type it all out! Even if you don't have ADHD, give it a try. We all need a little help sometimes with clearing our mind and thoughts 💭 Like it? Hate it? Feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear your feedback 💌 #AI #ADHD #Productivity #GenerativeAI #ChatGPT
