How are people actually using AI day to day?

 Started keeping a running note of every time I used AI for something work-related over the past few weeks. Honestly surprised by what I actually use it for versus what I thought I'd use it for.

Curious what other people's honest day-to-day looks like. Not the "we're leveraging AI to transform our workflow" version. The real one.

What do you actually use it for, what do you wish it could do that it can't, and what have you tried that turned out to be a waste of time?
