I'm talking Boomer level dumb. And I'm not even gay, so I basically have nothing going for me.
If I was going to use one premium AI service which is the best taking into consideration to the extent possible the likelihood that it will remain asking the best for the foreseeable future?
Links to a couple basic tutorials for said service?
I just want to play around with it, make all it to do what are probably some basic tasks like build me a spreadsheet based on uploaded bank statements or suggest edits to this letter etc.

either claude or gpt is probably fine, claude seems to have been considered the more sophisticated one until recently but i see more and more competent people shilling for gpt.
download the app for ur computer for whichever you use, nicer than using it in browser. just start giving it prompts that you feel compelled to ask but also ask it what it can do for you. wherever you suspect there's something it could do for you that is not part of your current ai workflow, ask if there is something you're not doing that could be done. it will start recommending things that you wouldn't have known to ask of it. without knowing your specific use cases that's probably the quickest path to getting deeper into it.

I want to upload a list of accounts and assets and ask it too design a tax efficient withdrawal strategy and to opine on potential improvements in allocation. I don't want it to pick stocks, I want to eg suggest when to stop doing backdoor Roth conversions
I want to upload my family trust with a list of my priorities and ask it to suggest any changes
I might want it to talk to me about random thoughts I have about historical figures or events as these things bore my wife and kids and I don't want some shitlib nonsense in response AND I don't want it to kiss my ass

Honestly unless you're a programmer or fresh out of school (ie the standard xo white collar bro established in his career looking at screens) just wait a year or two and all of this will be forced upon you anyway.
