Where’s the AI software that allows me to just upload insurance receipts without wasting half a day typing in all the details that appear on the receipt I upload anyway. That’s what I need. #ADHDtax #ActuallyUsefulAI

Actually Useful AI PSA for alt text generator: “Unfortunately, it has become too expensive to keep this service running online at the moment. It's costing about $10 a day right now and rising, which is beyond what I can cover; I'm actively working on a plan to move forward.

In the meantime, if you'd like to support the development and help bring this service back, you can contribute via Gumroad or Patreon.”

The caption in the photograph reads,'one world almanac 2021 '
This is a book containing information about various environmental topics, and it has been opened to show the page that discusses climate change.
The background of the photo is a cityscape with multiple tall buildings and other urban structures, which are meant to represent the different layers of urbanization in our world today.
At the center of this complex scene, there is a large red and orange building made up of many cubes, symbolizing the need for sustainable architecture to protect the environment.
The text on the page emphasizes that climate change affects people around the globe, especially those living in cities with high levels of pollution and urbanization.
It also highlights the importance of preserving forests, which are essential habitats for wildlife, and how they contribute to global warming by absorbing greenhouse gases.
Overall, this calendar image serves as a reminder of the many challenges facing our planet today and the need to work together to find solutions that will ensure sustainable development for future generations https://actuallyusefulai.com/alt/

Figure out how much a medical procedure, appointment, or treatment will actually cost on my insurance plan, and whether all the people involved will be in network (again, without sharing my private data) #actuallyusefulai 3/?
